And their state dinner tonight, consists of: White House does know is what will be on the menu for
350 guests served in a tent on the South Lawn
Music by Mary J. Blige
The meal will include quail eggs from Pennsylvania and American Osetra caviar from the president’s adopted home state of Illinois, as well as 12 kinds of potatoes.
The salad course, featuring a “winter garden salad” of what the White House called petite mixed radishes, merlot lettuce and baby carrots inspired by the first lady’s kitchen garden.
The main course will be a dry-aged rib eye of beef, brought in from a family farm in Colorado and topped with blue cheese from Vermont.
For dessert, there will be a chocolate malted cake with bittersweet chocolate from Mr. Obama’s birthplace of Hawaii, accompanied by Florida tangerines and Pennsylvania vanilla ice cream.
There will also be lavender shortbread cookies, fudge from Vermont maple syrup and orange zest-dusted cotton candy.
Wow, Michelle surely has class!
** IN YOUR FACE, AMERICA!! **
Ya ever notice that all the “entertainment” at these functions are black?
Hey, the royal dog-minders have to do something for fun.
“’Comrades!’ he cried. ‘You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,’ cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, ‘surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?’”
How do you sit at that table?
Let the peasents eat ALPO!
Apparently nothing is too good or expensive for their dogs, too.
“That’s the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want”
WHO ON EARTH would plan an outdoor “TENT” dinner in February in DC????? That’s the judgment of these people...sheesh.
This is not a joke. This is obviously how these dogs eat every day in the White House.
where’s Dog #3?
"Oh yeah... good dog!"
I’m less upset about the dogs dining on the historic china than I am about the Obamas doing so.
Some days you wonder if we’d be better off with Bo sitting at the Oval Office desk and Barry curled up under it, licking himself.
And to think that the proglodytes whine about “one percenters”. Pfah. At least the “one percenters” are spending their own damned money!
“”petite mixed radishes, merlot lettuce and baby carrots inspired by the first lady’s kitchen garden.””
I remember when the first lady was pictured canning or freezing those vegetables for salads. AH - I must have dreamed it.
Food represented from EIGHT states. I’m so impressed. They are doing their best to live like the rest of us..
Those of us in the path of the ice storm tonight have been concentrating on having enough food on hand from our local super market. I’m so glad the first family knows how to sacrifice.
Gee, a far cry from the Prole Rations that Michelle tells the peasants to eat.
