Washington Whispers

How to Eat—and Cook—Like a New President

Posted January 21, 2009

They don't look easy, but the recipes of the food served at yesterday's chaotic Inaugural Luncheon have been an online hit. "The recipes page has been the most visited page of the inaugural website," remarked Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, at the event. The menu consisted of a seafood stew, a brace of American birds served with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes, and for dessert, apple cinnamon sponge cake.

seafood stew

We had an inaugural dinner on Tuesday and served the stew, which took all afternoon to make, but it was worth it! One of my guests was a French chef, and he gave it high marks, so whoever devised this recipe and chose it for the luncheon made a great choice. My only caveat is that it was REALLY expensive!

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
