Happy Birthday Rhode Island! A celebration of Quahogs, Coffee Milk and Cabinets

The holiday weekend was full of commemorative festivities. In addition to yesterday’s observance of Memorial Day, on Saturday, the smallest state in the union celebrated a big birthday, number 221.
It was May 29th 1790 when Little Rhody, the last remaining colony of the original 13, became a state. And how better to rejoice in Rhode Island’s coming of age than with a tribute to the region’s delightful culinary peculiarities?
