I have had great fun planning my outfit with help from D. Whilst not strictly a diamonds and tiara type of a girl, I have tried to embrace the spirit and put on my own spin on the theme. Looking forward to seeing you next week.<br />love Bee xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25316797.post-71607117246888900962006-08-18T17:11:00.000+01:002006-08-18T17:11:00.000+01:00Thank you R - I am deeply inspired by your preside...Thank you R - I am deeply inspired by your presidential feast, who would have thought W was such a gourmand?!<br /><br />I will come as little surprise that I have a fine collection of elbow length gloves and (handily) all black. I’m not sure I can promise to wear them during all the meal prep but they’d certainly come in handy when retrieving both the roast venison and custard tart from the oven!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625520972772622982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25316797.post-28658374171128520372006-08-18T16:25:00.000+01:002006-08-18T16:25:00.000+01:00The meal sounds fantastic, and made me wish I woul...The meal sounds fantastic, and made me wish I would be on your side of the pond next week in order to try and horn my way in.<br /><br />More importantly, though, it's gotten me thinking about the concept, and how it might translate here in the States: a meal "Fit for a President", so to speak. According to whitehousekids.gov (which, I can only assume, is the site my President uses when in search of handy information about the federal government, and Dick or Karl aren't around), the President's favorite kind of food is Mexican. Accordingly, I've prepared what I have to belive is a fairly accurate estimation of an appropriate birthday meal for everyone's favorite Texan world leader:<br /><br /><B>Southwestern taco salad with edible shell-bowl, iceberg lettuce and guacamole<br />~<br />Deep-fried<br />Chimichanga with tater tots and refried beans<br />~<br />Loin of barbequed Big-Ass Texas Steer with battered onion-ring blossom, buttered corn-on-the-cob and Big-Ass Texas Steer gravy<br />~<br />Dairy Queen Blizzard (Oreo, Butterfinger or Heath)</B><br /><br />Now, while none of this menu actually sound bad to me, it would hardly prompt a special occasion meal gathering (much less a tiara--I'd recommend a John Deere or NASCAR cap instead), as I'm farily sure one would easily find all the entrees listed on the daily specials board at any TGIFriday's.<br /><br />It's enough depress an American foodie for days. And all the more so if one imagines how nice a John Kerry presidential menu might have been ... -R<br /><br />PS - I should really hope that you'll have elbow-lenth gloves to accompany your tiara. As they say, a tiara without gloves is like a day without chocolate. It can be done, but it's certainly not advisable.Ryan Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902819617645209813noreply@blogger.com
