Q: The United States style of dining uses the same starting grips as the European style. Hold the fork facing downward with your index finger on the back of the handle and the knife with your index finger along the back of the handle as well. The United States style of eating with a fork and knife is also referred to as the zig-zag method. Use your fork’s tines to hold the food stable while you cut a piece. Place the knife at about a 45-degree angle on the top right edge of your plate, with the blade facing in, when you are done cutting. Placing the knife on the edge of the plate is known as the resting position. You should still not place the knife on the table in this method to avoid getting the table dirty. Transfer the fork from one hand to the other and reverse the position so you are holding it like a spoon. The index finger of your dominant hand will now be below the handle and your thumb will be on top.  For example, if you are right-handed then you started with the fork in your left hand facing down towards the table. You should now have the fork in your right hand with the tines facing up towards the ceiling. This method of switching the fork and knife back and forth is where the United States style of using cutlery gets it’s zig-zag name. If you are eating something that doesn’t require a knife, then you would just keep your fork in your dominant hand, face up, the whole course. Eat with your fork as if it was a spoon. Don’t use your fork to spear food like in the European method of using cutlery unless it is absolutely necessary. You should never hold your fork with your fist completely wrapped around it. Always keep it with your thumb on top and your index finger underneath the handle. Place the fork with the tines up and put the knife right next to it. Angle the handles down and to the right of the plate. Remember to put any unused cutlery that was meant for that course on the plate as well. If you’re at a restaurant and you don’t do this, the waiter will still do it for you and bring you new cutlery for the next course. It’s proper etiquette to do this yourself.
A: Hold the fork in your non-dominant hand and the knife in your dominant hand. Cut a piece of your food and place the knife down on the top edge of your plate. Switch the fork to your dominant hand and flip it so the points face up. Use your fork to scoop up the food and bring it to your mouth. Put the fork and knife side-by-side on the plate when you finish at an angle.

Article: In springtime, most gardening centers and nurseries carry flats of of impatiens seedlings in a variety of colors, making it easy to pick up a few trays of your favorites. Buy impatiens in one color or mix and match so you can create a colorful pattern in your garden.  There are three common varieties of impatiens that each come in slightly different colors and have different petal sizes. The Tom Thumb varieties have large, bold-colored flowers; the Super Elfin varieties have pastel colored-flowers; and the Swirl varieties have orange and red colors with swirled patterns on the petals.  It's quite easy to plant impatiens seedlings, but you can also choose to start them from seed if you'd like. You'll need to sow the seeds in seed starting mix in January to get them ready for spring planting. Press the seeds lightly into the mix and keep the the seed trays moist and around 70 °F (21 °C). Impatiens wither quickly when they don't get enough water. Whether you purchase seedlings or start your impatiens from seed, you'll need to make sure they stay moist until you're ready to set them out in pots or plant them in the ground. If you keep your potted seedlings outside, do not put them in direct sunlight, as this could dry out the small pots quickly. Impatiens do equally well in pots, planters and garden beds. They like shady spots, so choose an area that has partial shade throughout the day. Make sure the soil is moist but well-drained, since impatiens can get mildew if they spend time in standing water.  Impatiens grow best in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11. This includes parts of the southern and southwestern United States. To determine whether an area drains well, take a look at the spot after a heavy rain. If you see standing water and puddles, you'll need to add peat or another mix into the soil to help it drain better. You may also want to try re-directing rainwater flowing into the area. If the water gets absorbed, it should be a fine spot for planting. Impatiens should not be set into the ground or planted in pots until after the last frost, when the soil has become warm and there's no chance the flowers will freeze. Planting them too early will result in wilting, and they may die before the warm season gets underway. Impatiens like soil that is rich and moist. You can prepare the soil by tilling it to a depth of 12 inches, then mixing in some compost or a light application of fertilizer. If you're planting impatiens in pots, buy nutrient-rich potting soil.
