Here we are with a milestone swap - the big five-oh! At this point, we have swapped fifty spoons over the course of three years!
Swap number Fifty took place at El Centro, in midtown. Ms. Dish and I were in the neighborhood to see the hit Broadway musical Cabaret!
I always have apprehensions about eating in the Times Square / Broadway area, but El Centro was a great cozy Tex-Mex joint!
Swapping spoons at Mexican restaurants can be tricky business as there's usually not a lot on the menu that would come with a spoon. Even the old standby of ordering a coffee can seem out of place. Fortunately we were able to make Swap 50 happen with a bowl of Tortilla Soup. I'd never had Tortilla Soup before, but I am now a fan!
And now with out further ado, here I present, Spoon NVMBER L!
A true classic, #50 sports the markings "Winco Stainless 18-10", of course with the mysterious "8 in a circle". A quick look at our records identifies this spoon as a Winco Continental. I will have to wait until we receive the official numbers from the archivists at SpoonSwapper HQ, but I believe with this swap the Winco Continental may have regained the title of "Most Swapped Spoon".
Hurry archivists! This highly contested title hangs in the balance!
UPDATE! After careful review, it appears that the Winco Continental is now TIED for Most Swapped Spoon with the ubiquitous Qualite Dominion!
