What extras do you want to store/use?

Perhaps grains other than the basic ones?

Spice Up Your Meals [spices/herbs/flavorings, etc]

Added spices are much needed to enhance basic foods in big ways. I use and store a lot of spices, herbs, flavorings, and the like. For example: take plain white rice, water, a tad of salt and make rice milk; or take plain white rice, water, a tad of salt, cinnamon stick, a bit of sugar and make Horchata. How about taking cooked lentils/onions, mix in chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper

for a great lentil taco!! Small additions make a big difference that is tasty and more satisfying, and adds variety to meals.  Yet basics remain the framework of the recipe.
