What's your favorite ingredient to cook with?

GARLIC! and olive oil.  this household goes through a ton of both of these things pretty often.  We also go through a lot of cheese (esp. of the parmigiano or asiago variety)

I took a test on LiveJournal recently along the lines of "which country should you belong to?"  My results were a tied Italian and German (quite accurate, I'm only a little Italian by blood but ridiculously Italian in personality, and I am hella German, that's about 90% of my family's heritage...), and second place tied to Irish and British (There's a fair amount of both Irish and British on my dad's side of the family, makes sense).  But yeah, especially as far as the kitchen is concerned, Italian is pretty damn accurate.

Also: our freezer looks like it belongs to an Italian nonna these days, I made a huge batch of tomato sauce about a week ago, ate some, froze the rest, there is now no room in our freezer for naan...and we eat a lot of Trader Joes' frozen naan.  We may need a second freezer.  These are the times when I wish I kept my mini-fridge...
