This Day in History: 1793


George Washington convened the first Cabinet meeting on record - at his home. All enjoyed Martha's lemon bars, which were deemed by War Secretary Henry Knox to be good enough to "make one ejaculate in their knickers." Meanwhile, President Washington would spend a good majority of the meeting apologizing for all the cat hair.
