  1. so I guess there is something disagreement about the timing....

    The first fork in America was owned by Governor John Winthrop of Massachusetts in 1633 and was in a leather case with a knife and a bodkin. It is doubtful that Governor Winthrop used the fork in the modern custom of today. According to Wallace Nutting, in his book Vermont Beautiful (1922), the fork sent to Governor Winthrop in the Massachusetts colony was accompanied by a note that read: “A fork for the useful applycation of which I leave to your discretion.”

    Colonial Table Manners: The Fork.

    1. Nice place. I'm trying to figure out how soon I'll be able to take the kids up there.

  2. On the Grill In the kitchen tonight: the Boy is making salsa, the Mrs is making a bacon-spinach quiche, and I'll be making the Modern Baking microwave lemon curd to go with Meyer lemon cookies.

    1. Mrs. SoCal and I took advantage tonight of a gift card from Junior's coach to Lucille's BBQ. Oh my.

      We split a meal of barbecued tri-tip, chicken and baby back ribs (you can also get St. Louis or beef instead of baby back) along with side orders of (our choice) potato salad and mac & cheese, along with biscuits with apple butter and we also got a half order of onion straws (which was huge). The barbecue was amazing. Everything was slow roasted but not at all dry. The sliced tri-tip you could cut with a fork. The meat would just about fall off the chicken and rib bones. The sauce was terrific but nothing was dripping with it so you could still taste the smoky meat flavor. The mac & cheese and potato salad were both Southern homestyle.

      Unfortunately, Lucille's is only in the Southwest so most Citizens will only be able to eat their hearts out.
