What's in your pantry/fridge/freezer?

[Amy SF]

This is pretty much the same as the thread I posted on VB which was popular with newbies. I want to know what veg*an foods and ingredients you keep in your kitchen; mainly the staples you can't live without, but also those little occasional treats that are occasional because they're either not accessible most of the time or they're too expensive to buy on a regular basis.

My thinking is that having a running list will give newbies to the veg*an diet (and oldbies as well) ideas for stocking their own kitchens once the omni foods are gone.

I live with an omni, so I hope my list might be useful to someone who has to share a fridge with and omni .
Maybe it would be a good idea to list what kind of veg*n you are, like "this is the fridge/pantry/freezer/nifty food box of a vegan, laco-ovo vegetarian...etc"? It may be useful to somebody who may not be antiquated with they different types of vegetarianism yet.

I am a laco-ovo vegetarian, this the food in my fridge:
- Assorted vegetables, normally carrots, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, tomatoes, etc.
- Various fruits, usually whatever is in season.
- Mushrooms
- Pickles
- Salsa
- Hot sauce.
- Soy creamer and Almond milk- I don't like cow's milk.
- Various cheese products. Mostly Parmesan cheese.
- Eggs
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Tofu or some kind of veggieburger.
....my pantry:
- Quinoa
- Rice
- Jarred pasta sauce
- Various types of pasta
- Miso soup
- tinned things, like mushrooms, vegetables and some soup.
- Ramen and Udon noodles.
- Various spices. I have no idea whats actually there.
- Chips
- An entire shelf dedicated to coffee and tea.
