My seasoning staples are pretty basic.
Fresh: garlic onion ginger basil Dry: coarse sea salt whole black pepper, freshly ground (no pepper dust, ever!  )
"italian seasoning" or "poultry seasoning" blend chili powder blend cayanne (sp?) pepper sage basil cumin coriander cinnamon allspice nutritional yeast Liquid: vanilla balsalmic vinegar olive oil sesame oil hot sauce thai green curry paste (not really a liquid, but whatever) If ya got all of that stuff, you can make anything nomworthy.

I always add a bit of ground ginger to my rice when it's finished cooking, right before serving it.
Have to have freshly ground/cracked black pepper (no powder) on most everything. Also a big fan of garlic, but have to be careful not to eat it if I'm going to be around others.
I love cilantro but for some reason, I never think to buy it. I need to branch out more. I have dill, paprika, cumin, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil, parsley, etc. but never really know when to use them unless a recipe specifically calls for it.  | |

When I'm making something and I taste it and think it just needs a little extra something, I'll just start smelling spices and going, "would this fit?". If you aren't sure, you can take a spoonful of the dish and sprinkle a bit on and taste it to see. Use your nose and experiment.
The downside: when people ask for your recipe, or if you want to make the same thing again, it may be difficult to remember what you did. Take notes. "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

Oops, I forgot about when vegetables such as greens or string beans are made, they got to be seasoned with either bacon, hamhock, etc. My favorite is bacon grease. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Definitely course sea salt. Garlic on everything. Adobo when I don't have a lot of time and want to just season-all-at-once! Cajun seasoning. Basil and oregano. I grow them in the window.
Bacon grease and hamhocks? vainandy...you are definitely Black!
FYI...never, ever let your boyfriend cut up fresh cilantro, forget to wash his hands, and then have sex. Talk about HOT!   "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
