White House pastry chef resigns: ‘I don’t want to demonize cream, butter, sugar and eggs’
The Daily Caller ^ | March 18, 2014 | Patrick Howley

White House executive pastry chef Bill Yosses is resigning after First Lady Michelle Obama fundamentally changed his job duties to focus on healthier food.

Yosses is leaving the White House in June to work on a new project focusing on “food literacy” and The New York Times says Michelle is “partly to blame.” The openly gay chef was hired by Laura Bush in 2007 to make his trademark cookie plates and sugar sculptures. Mrs. Obama took over in 2009 and ordered Yosses to make healthier plates in smaller portions.

Yosses began replacing butter with fruit puree and sugar with honey and agave. But Yosses was never fully committed to the new policy.

So in this particular case, she was forcing a gay man to make cakes he didn't want to? Anyone else see the irony?

Mrs. WBill's hairdresser is a pleasant man who, in addition to his primary avocation, likes to design tiaras in his spare time as a hobby.

He's also married to a drop dead gorgeous lady, and has five kids with her. Go figure. :-)

And as his responsibilities have broadened to include apprentice beekeeping, weeding and the pursuit of the perfect pie crust (it includes lard, not Crisco), Mr. Yosses has blossomed along with his role.

He was a blossoming "weeder?" You can't make this stuff up. Lard pie crusts? I wonder where that goes on Her Majesty's physiognomy?

Like Grandma used to make! That's something even openly heterosexual chefs can get behind!

Saw a demonstration a couple years ago by the previous pastry chef of several decades. The stories were simply amazing.

I would dare say the chef that makes the sweets probably builds as good a relationship with a President and their family as any top aide.

I wish Bill and his husband, Charlie,

Sounds like a bitch slap to me............When was the last time you ever heard anyone refer to a gay person and their significant other in that way?

My comment isn't about homosexual marriages but rather the way the First Lady bid him farewell...that was weird.

“Apparently, Wookies don’t like cookies.”

Okay, so I will pull that string — Just how many lbs (or inches) has the wookie dropped since she started her silly little campaign. Bet she has put on lbs and inches...

As a side note, based on my lifestyle, if I was president and this guy was working for me as chef, my only instructions would be to make sure I'm not hungry........

I don't criticize anyone or give instructions to anyone who feeds me...........

Mom, I miss you!

“Openly heterosexual president assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald”

“One small step for openly heterosexual man. One giant leap for mankind.”

“World War One was started after the assassination of an openly heterosexual archduke”

I suppose we need to update history lessons

“Openly gay chef resigns.”

Guess he'll just pack his fudge and leave.

You need to use commas to clearly convey your point. A comma after “yet”, would be a different meaning.

.I’m openly straight and nobody seems to care! How “openly gay” is he anyway? Does he attach “I’m gay” to everything he says?

Thats horrible for you, but think about me I'm a male lesbian and get absolutely no respect!
