help for the food-ignorant

This is a post about food [what it isn't is a post about snow ... :( ] My understanding of the las lenas grocery store situation is that there is a grocery store, in the sense that a well-stocked 7-11 is a grocery store.

Now I am one of the few people over the age of eight who would be fine with 3 months of grazing through the isles of a 7-11 - as generally I am pretty basic and flexible - bread? peanut butter? Hello lunch! there's a toaster? breakfast! Add a banana and a bottle of wine? Dinner! (and yes, I'm sure argentinian 7-11s have wine).

I mean I basically ate couscous, tuna, and cliff bars for three months on my bike trip.

Its not that I don't like food that requres more time & energy. I do ! But I also like food that doesn't. So its a toss up.

But I'm tempted to change my spots. make this the winter where I overturn my apathy and laziness and embrace cooking/baking.

So far my list of staples is:
- oatmeal
- pasta
- rice (brown)
- brown sugar
- white sugar
- all purpose flour
- yeast (for making bread of course! ha ha ha - i cant even write that with a straight face)
- a hunking block of cheese
- choclate chips
- vanilla?
- salt
- beans (chick peas, garbanzo beans, black beans, lima beans, kidney beans, soy beans)
- nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- raisons
- cranberries
- soup


Things that don't make sense to buy bulk ahead of time
-eggs
-fresh vegetables
- milk
- butter
- meats
- fruits (lately I've been eating oranges non-stop. No fear of scurvy here.)

Anything obvious I'm missing?
