I never disrobe before a gunfight
Posted on | 12 months ago, in the early evening | 6 Comments
Thus far the day has been somewhat slow and lazy, occupied largely by minor acts of housework, lunch with the husband, and researching an assortment of recreational drug use practices and trying to find out (with enough success to call it for horseshoes or hand grenades) precisely when tin foil came into common usage.
Oh, the things you need to know when you’re writing books.
In my defense, I did in fact get some writing done – and there’s a better than nil chance I’ll do some more this evening, after I’ve gone to the grocery store to resolve the fact that there is nothing in this whole damn apartment upon which I feel like snacking.
Also, I think we’re out of wine. IT IS A WINE EMERGENCY.
I’ll get my cape.

Reading about your tinfoil research, I thought you might find this website generally useful. It is a digital library of historical American cookbooks. It covers the time period from 1798 to 1922.

So when did tinfoil come into common usage anyways?
February 26th, 2011 @ 8:58 pm
Toward the end of the 19th century, as it turns out. Aluminum foil took over in the early 20th, so tin-as-foil wasn’t really very popular for very long.
