Coffee for sure, and the things that go with them, milk and splenda. Then CHEESE. And anything carby I can put it on.

What foods are uniquely '80s'?
OMIGOD I totally forgot about Clearly Canadians. I loved those in sixth grade! Also they still make cherry 7-up, I bought some yesterday at Safeway.
Fruit snacks!
New Mexican Eats
Everything in New Mexico has green chiles in it yum! Look for some roadside stop to bring home pineapple green chile preserves or other weird southwestern concoctions.
Graduation Party
Make a nacho cheese dip, works great if you have a crock pot! This is my favorite:

Best Hangover Food?
I'm for sure in the diner/greasy spoon school of hangover cures. Anything with hashbrowns and runny eggs does it for me. A breakfast burrito with hashbrowns or refried beans is even better.
My bf says lukewarm chili is his cure. ew.
Is the kitchen the easiest place to...
My roommate had a graduation party at our house and I bonded with all his female cousins because we were all in the kitchen preparing all the food while the men sat outside and drank. I always find an activity allows for great conversation because you have something to occupy your hands and eyes while you chat away. And I always put those hovering around my kitchen to work. I hate grating cheese and all the other tedious jobs go to those who hang out in my kitchen. It makes them feel they've contributed to the final meal, and if something goes wrong and tastes yucky, I blame it on their inferior chopping technique! :)
Interesting food combinations
Bagel and cream cheese with yellow mustard and obscene amounts of black pepper. Seriously.

@huneybumper - Wow, I am another one: coffee, bread, and peanut/cashew butter, for my mornings. It took me years to discover, but the one thing that's easy to make that takes care of my gnawing morning hunger. I have to have protein and fat in the a.m. or I'm useless, ditto the coffee.
Ingredient-wise, I've got to agree with smile about olive oil - it's my least favorite thing to run out of unexpectedly, since I cook almost everything with it. Eggs might be second.

Saltines, Louisiana hot sauce and Tillamook Cheddar Cheese (sharp is preffered- but medium will do)
We eat this for a snack at least once a week.

I need some sort of juice in the house. Every morning I wake up thirsty for something light and sweet...preferrably cranberry juice.

For me it's coffee. We are going to Canyon Ranch this summer and I called them to make sure they serve coffee. I know some spas don't and I'd have to start weaning myself off it if I am to do without it.
Restaurant sized plastic wrap - and bag that stupid slide cutter. I kept my last metal cutter and stick it in every new box. I can't for the life of me go back to consumer-sized "saran" type wraps. (I know it's not a food but it's definitely a staple in my kitchen.)

The new chef at the formerly good French restaurant I worked at made, for a special one week, veal scaloppini with an grapefruit avocado sauce.
I left town shortly thereafter.

Olive oil. I can't stand using a different kind of oil to substitute olive.

Coffee, saltines and peanut butter. hmmm i'm seeing a trend in this post;)

Yes, coffee is like toilet paper in my house; it's inconceivable that we could ever go without. OJ comes next, followed by milk.
I am kind of weird about bananas. There's always one or 2 dark ones for the freezer, but I buy 3 or 4 bananas every time I am at the store.
Also lemons: my kitchen fills incomplete and I am an uneasy cook without lemons. Not that I use them in everything, but I'm surprised when I don't have them, and my attempts to sub in a pinch have disappointed.
