What do you always have on hand? Why?
I’d count refrigerated items as pantry staples if they keep for longer than a couple weeks.
One recent addition to my pantry has been dried chillies - great base for red chile sauce for enchiladas. Those plus maseca and some beans (also both staples) and I have a base for amazing enchiladas or tacos or whatever.


What do you do with clam juice? Only one of those I have is adobo, I should use that more but I tend to forget I have it…
It’s a required ingredient in a decent Bloody Mary.
You have a good bloody recipe?
