Meredith Mileti hosts a Q&A discussion

At one point in Aftertaste, Mira says that she enjoys reading the interviews in Bon Appetit in which a famous foodie lists the three items that can always be found in his or her refrigerator. Mira finds the answers too finely crafted to be believable, and wonders if anyone--herself included-- would dare admit to the wizened carrots and limp celery, the perpetually bulging tupperware filled with last month's moldy leftovers that most of us have lurking in our fridge's recesses. What about you? What three items can always be found in your refrigerator? Full disclosure encouraged!

1. Half jars of sauces that haven't been touched in years. E.g., odd mustards, hot sauces, dressings, pestos which are too oily. Can't bring myself to throw them away.
2. Slimy miniature carrots which I intended on eating instead of the fattening snack I did eat.
3. Better 'n Peanut Butter for my favorite snack of rice cake, banana and pb. It's only 1 WW point (old school) for 1 tablespoon and tastes like the real thing.

I actually have a jar of Better n' Peanut Butter, in my fridge too! I think we might be the only two people eating it!

I think the slimy miniature carrots are always a must have!! I will admit to always having some greek yogurt, a block of cheese (which sometimes when the labels get taken away, we lose track of what is what) and butter. For some reason, we tend to always buy different types of butter. Our most recent purchase...goat cheese butter - sprinkle on a bit of sea salt, and it's heaven on a slice of toasted pan bigio bread.

Greek yogurt, half-n-half and goat cheese. I never realized I'm so about the dairy!

I am big on dairy, too. (And the slimy carrots.....) Greek yogurt and half and half are always in my fridge. I'd love to try the goat cheese butter.

A girl after my own heart! I could probably be a vegetarian, but I could never give up my cheese!
