JIMMY CARTER - Carter liked low-calorie desserts such as a yogurt and fresh fruit tart, but he also splurged on chocolate cake and strawberry napoleons.
RONALD REAGAN - Reagan had a sweet tooth. "He was a chocolate lover and loved a crunchy chocolate cake along with my quick chocolate mousse (with crystallized ginger) and raspberry mousse."
GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH - Mesnier says Bush liked creme brulees, silky chocolate cream pie and a cheesecake served with lemon curd.
WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON - Since Clinton couldn't eat dairy or chocolate, Mesnier baked special desserts for him - low-calorie strawberry cake, cherry pie, apricot sunburst and hot dried pear souffle. "He loved apple pie."
GEORGE W. BUSH - The president was a fan of Mesnier's chocolate cherry cake, cherry trifle, bananas in raspberry cream and sunflower tart.

Great article, BWB. I need to wake the pastry chef to make me a creme brulee.

Mmmm, pastries! At this very moment I'm baking cookies for the town ice cream social to be held on Friday (proceeds for tsunami and local flood relief): pumpkin raisin and HLL's chocolate chip cookies. In other words, nothing quite as fancy as the former White House pastry chef's creations, but still delicious.

I think the Food Network did a special on this guy a few years back. After reading this, I think I'll dump the planned piece of toast for breakfast and go for the strawberry shortcake ice cream. Yummmmmmm.

Great article...
"First lady Laura Bush is meticulous - and the house is sparkling," he says.
Well, duh, after the Clintons anyone's normal housekeeping would look "sparkling" me thinks (although I have read that Laura is an excellent housekeeper; in one interview with the twins, they said that if their Mom could take one item to a deserted island, she would take her vacuum cleaner and her Dad would take Barney or a photo of Barney if animals weren't allowed...lol)

The Clintons, very charismatic people, were very casual A polite way of saying they were slobs.
Clintoon was known to offer dinner "service" in the Oval Office.

Speaking of eating desserts, I went to the mall last weekend for some much needed wardrobe retrofitting. I was very very happy to find the styles at Ann Taylor Loft have gone to the classic, feminine tailored look. If you are looking for Spring and Summer dresses - you will be happy.
