Inaugural Menu...
Below is listed what the "menu" will be at the Inaugural.
What will we be having? Maybe just whisky...and lots of it.
*sigh*
Anyone else?

"They're going to party like it's 1861!
In what will be a Lincoln-themed inauguration from top to bottom, Obama won't only follow in the footsteps of the former president - he'll also eat like him, it was announced yesterday
Obama's jampacked Abe-apalooza moved into high gear with an announcement from the Congressional Inaugural Committee that it will hold a luncheon next Tuesday following the swearing-in ceremony that's modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed.
The lunch menu is only the latest in a slew of references and tributes to Lincoln that will be folded into Obama's big day.
Part of the meal will even be served on replicas of the china picked out by First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln at the beginning of her husband's first term in office in 1861.
The appetizer will feature a seafood stew in puff pastry - including scallops, shrimp and lobster - in honor of Lincoln's love of seafood.
The main course of a "Brace of American Birds (pheasant and duck)" with sour-cherry chutney will be served with molasses sweet potatoes - a nod to the root vegetables and wild game that Honest Abe ate as a child in Indiana.
The Lincoln-fest luncheon at Statuary Hall, a chamber of the Capitol building, will serve some 200 guests, including members of the Supreme Court, the incoming Cabinet and congressional leaders.
"It's always good to model yourself after a great president," said Eric Foner, a professor of American history at Columbia University. "The proof will be in the pudding."
The guests will enjoy an apple cinnamon sponge cake for dessert, which recalls Lincoln's love of apples."

Make sure your PB isn't the one on the recall list for salmonella!

Let's see now...what shall I have...
An entree, of course...microwaved chicken nuggets, perhaps, to symbolize the mindless instinct of our media as they pecked at the previous President.
A side of some sort. Strawberries, I think; their red color will acknowledge the intellectual foundation of the incoming administration.
And for dessert? A pecan butter cookie, broken into pieces. The pecans will symbolize the nuts who expect the new administration to live up to its promises, the butter will hearken back to the campaign contributions from George Soros that greased the skids, and the broken cookie will symbolize the broken hopes and dreams the new administration will deliver.
Ahh, symbolism.

Aaww, I really think that's great that a Dem Pres is honoring a Republican President in such a manner. That's touching.. that's so.....  I feel the unifying love of the idealist.
Sorry.. in a bit of a pithy mood today!

Saoirse,
Am right with you...*sigh*! Am sure there are a few others here that feel the same.
But, to relax, am going to attempt some Bannas Foster this afternoon.
For no-matter what is happening, cooking always relaxes me.

Saoirse,
Have an italian-based "chef" in my family that adores baked pastas...for good reason! The homemade sauces are so thick and rich, it is not a wonder why that culture is so robust in nature.
Well, in any case, it is good to cook, at "times like these!"
