Here We Go With Taste Enhancements

I would like to begin by listing my favorite herbs, spices and enhancements.  Oregano (fresh, dry), Italian Parlsey (fresh, dry), Basil (fresh, dry), Garlic (fresh, minced, powder), Salt (sea salt, kosher salt), Black Pepper (fine and course), Chili Powder, Creole Seasoning, Crushed Red Pepper, Thyme, Dill Weed, Old Bay, Cinnamon, Anise Seed, Fennel Seed, Sesame Seed, Marjoram.

My favorite brand is McCormick for quality.  Fresh is always better if you can get it or grow it yourself.
Oils for sauteing, frying ... Extra Virgin Olive Oil (most imported Italian brands.  Canola Oil (Wesson), Sesame Oil/Wok Oil (lower price).
