Beyond Beat Reporting
Fontana Investigates!: SC's Fridge
By Strach Fontana, Investigative Journalist
SC went on vacation and kindly offered up some of his perishables for the taking. I saw this not only as an opportunity for free food, but for the kind of hard line journalism that made me famous. (This list is not exhaustive, but what I could remember after I got home.)
Liquids:
Orange juice
Grapefruit juice (which I took)
Some mango/passion/something juice
Riesling
A bunch of beers
Meat:
2 different packages of sausage
Dairy:
Shredded cheeses
Smoked Gouda (which I took)
Fruits and vegetables:
None (can this be true?)
Breads:
Wheat bread
Condiments and spreads:
Salsa
Taco sauce
Tangy seafood sauce
Preserves
Hummus (which I took)
Some stuff in Tupperware
Something indistinguishable (salmon?) wrapped in saran and very moldy
Chocolate covered espresso beans
Enormous bag, Reese's Pieces
A chocolate bar
So, SC, it's time for answers: Are delicious chocolate candies overrepresented in your fridge, or underrepresented in your reporting?

My, this is much more exciting than hearing first-hand accounts of fridge contents! If I have several spare hours, I hope to give a reckoning of the contents and conditions of the 11th St. Boys' kitchen where mPod manages somehow to make his meals, much like that rose in Spanish Harlem.
I'm surprised to learn I had two packages of sausages. I'm very bad about keeping track of what I don't need to buy.
Isn't there a box of Junior Mints in the very back?
I always think I want candy, but once some candy has been in my house for more than a few days, it loses its novelty and luster.
A quick inventory of our kitchen will indeed shed some light on how Mattpod concocts his famous "4 month old pad-thai, chicken carcass, and spoiled milk stew".
