Lincoln's birthday



His 200th to be exact. It's coming up this year on February 12. To mark it, President-elect Obama will be treated to an inaugural luncheon that salutes President Lincoln's tastes and experiences. Here's the menu. Here are the recipes for the foods to be served.

Looks pretty tasty but not really to my taste. I could see trying out the Winter Vegetables recipe, tho. It's simple enough and has some new combinations (to me) that might be interesting. I assume, despite the lack of directions, that all of these vegetables, while cooked separately, are tossed together for serving. Or not?



Oh, yeah. That's a replica of the Lincoln china. The luncheon will be served on it.

This is great just think we could cook these recipes and have our own inaugural lunch. Don't know about the meat, but the veggies and dessert sound good.

That sounds like a grand idea, but it looks really complicated--and loaded with carbs. How about a nice salad instead?
