Lost,
Guys usually like to experiment with spices. You can buy them in BULK, and get a good-sized bag for less than a dollar. So, just pick up a few each time you grocery shop.
You can sprinkle chili pepper in scrambled eggs with rice for a good breakfast. Just cook up some rice, have it in the fridge for a quick snack. Fry up a small onion (and garlic if you like) in butter, add 1 c rice, break in a couple eggs, spice it, stir. Cook till browned, turn over and brown. Done. (I made this up when I had my wallet stolen, and had to live on what was in the cupboard till the next payday. It's pretty tasty, though.)
If you like hot sauces, try Garlic Chili Paste, found in the Asian section.
