Me, I'm a black tea drinker, so I get one or two cups of strong black tea (currently TJ's Irish Breakfast) every day, with milk. When I was in college, I trained myself out of needing sugar in my tea, for reasons I've forgotten, and now I don't like it in my tea at all. Honey, yes, but not sugar.
As for cooking, I have found that a jar of crushed garlic in the refridgerator has saved me hours of chopping time (and irritated eyes). Also TJ's frozen chopped spinach, which can be decanted in small portions from the bag, quickly microwaved, and added to eggs, pasta, quesadillas, and all sorts of dishes.
I wish I'd know before this last year how great chard was. The other night I threw some in boiling water for five minutes, then took it out with a slotted spoon and sauteed it with garlic and mushrooms, while boiling pasta in the other pot. Toss everything together with shredded parmesan, olive oil, and black pepper, and it's awesome.
