I had to read that twice to realize you mean "pam" the cooking spray...rather than me ;0!

One vanilla bean to about 1.5 cups sugar. I use a sugar dispenser you might find at a coffee stand in the office work room and duct tape the spout shut.
Works like a charm. BEST sugar evah!

.....and a couple of other things that I'm not going to say, haha.

"seafood - what the HAYLE is imitation crabmeat???"

YES - tld, I hear you.

I love Puffs with Vaporub - the scent alone makes me feel better!

Scotch - I will only drink Blair Atholl. Never heard of it? Of course not - you can only get it in the U.K., and you have to hunt there. It is AMAZING.

Paper towels - Viva is so much better than all those thinner ones.

Spices - go to Penzey's, or order on-line. They are great - you can't believe they are the same spices as are in the grocery store.

Yeah, the only vanilla beans I can get in my area are the nasty dried ones, plus they cost about $10 a pop... and I think the mexican vanilla tastes better than these dried beans anyway. I've never had the pleasure of cooking with a fresh vanilla bean, but I can only imagine how pure that must taste.

You and my husband, both. His philosophy is that he wants to be as warm and dry as humanly possible when he's out doing things. Same philosophy with equipment, too (which I totally support). I wouldn't want him lost or ill-equipped in the middle of the wilderness if one of his devices crapped out at the wrong time.

Very, very true!

Pasta (I will only buy De Cecco.)

I may have to try that! The things you learn on GC!

And I had to re-read honey's post to figure out she was talking about spray cooking oil instead of you, too! :p

whiskey
cigars (or for that matter any tobacco product)
fishing equipment
clothes
hygeine products
gifts
most foods (not mexican because it is usually better from a cheap hole in the wall place)

Any staple in your wardrobe....coats, shoes, handbags and a nice pair of jeans.
