Dining at the White House is an experience — but when President Trump is in office, there’s not much choice involved in the matter.

This is another recipe claimed to be his mother’s

donald-trump_49021t.jpgPerhaps there should be a college course on Donald Trump – after all they have been lecturing on Barbie for decades! He is the last of the great Think Big, Act on Inspiration, and Let the World Know Just How Great You Are kinda guys. Like two gods in one room, the world may not be ready for too many Donald Trumps, but it is our luck that we have at least one!

Even luckier that he delights/infuriates us in Palm Beach! Only so much time can pass in Palm Beach before Donald’s name comes up, or you are sitting at a table in his grand ballroom for The International Red Cross Ball, or his private Bocelli concert. Of course I am referring to “The Donald” who because of Donald Duck’s fading career absolutely owns the name!

Truly, not since Donald Fauntleroy Duck has there been a Donald so internationally famous – and so rich – as Donald John Trump. Comparisons are in order:

maralagopool.jpgHe also owns Mar-a-Lago, Marjorie Merriweather Post’s 126 room 110,000 sq. foot lake to ocean estate which since his purchase has been carefully restored to its previous grandeur and has become Donald’s exclusive private club. (If you sneak up stairs you might even get a glimpse of Mrs Post’s daughter, Dina Merrill’s childhood bedroom with its enchanted fairy tale murals…)

It was reported in Palm Beach’s Shiny Sheet that the first check Donald Trump wrote when he bought the extraordinary Mar-a-Lago, was to kill a contract with a demolition company that was planning to raze the opulent estate.

While the world thinks his joy in life comes from yelling, “You’re fired!” club members know better – His real joy in life is acting the Host. “Try the chopped steak. It’s the best! ...You know what’s great – the pretzel bread… This individually wrapped butter is so good. I don’t like those little flower butters. There is always a finger print on them!” The real secret is that Donald Trump wants his guests to feel good, important and to be happy … as happy as he felt when his mother, Scottish born Mary MacLeod Trump fixed Meat Loaf for him as a child. “I loved my mother and I loved her cooking … and, she was a real beauty!”

On the menu – along with the Raw Oysters, Champagne and Caviar – at Trump’s exclusive Mar–a-Lago Club, Mary MacLeod Trump’s Meat Loaf rules, and it is truly a man’s meal; it has all the warmth of a cozy aromatic kitchen and the familiar comfortable masculinity of a favorite armchair – but tastier. And, it makes Donald Trump smile!
