Chives are a good addition to a kitchen. Scallions, also.

The cooking pros say not to buy cooking wine, but to cook with wine that you would also drink.

I'd add cumin, curry powder, picante sauce or salsa, jarred cut jalapeno peppers, soy sauce, and a variety of jellies to the list of ingredients to have on hand. I'd probably add a variety of canned fruits e.g. mandarin oranges and pineapples, not so much for eating the fruit, but using the juices in marinades. One instrument most people don't think to have is a meat tenderizer, and bamboo skewers. Grilling marinated meat, fruits, and vegetables on a skewer always makes a nice meal.

my apartment has NO usable chefs knives. No set, nothing big, everything is dull. I'm willing to spring a little. What should I get? (kit should include sharpener)
