The First Lunch
I've just been reading the wire reports about the first meal Barack Obama will eat once he becomes president Tuesday. The lunch, organized by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, is being catered and served in Statuary Hall in the Capitol for 232 people including the Supreme Court, cabinet designees and congressional leadership. Months were spent , we're told, researching the food and cooking style of the 1860s since Abraham Lincoln is Obama's hero. The first course will be served on replicas of the Lincoln china chosen by the supposedly profligate Mary Todd Lincoln.
Quire a menu this: seafood stew of lobster, shrimp and black cod topped with puff pastry; duo of pheasant and duck served with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes, and apple cinnamon sponge cake with a sweet cream glaze. (The prez will have to work out the next day for sure.)
Want to see the recipes? Guess what? They are available. Go to Inaugural Lunch Menu and click on luncheon.
Sounds like a great start to cutting government spending!!

OMG, will all 8 years be a personality cult like this?
What kind of socks will He wear? Cotton or nylon?
What flavor gum does He like?
What toppings does He like on His pizza?

Chrissy, I was afraid it would be disrespectful to not click on it! I'm trying very hard to fall in line with the rest of you and get with the program. How am I doing so far?
Now when will we find out what He will have for dinner that night? And what about His plans for this weekend? Movie? Football on TV? We need to know!!!
