Zakuska Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 So when Romney makes it to the White House, how will the cuisine served at State Dinners change?- Will Green Jello and shredded carrots be served?- Funeral Potatoes?Will the "secret" tunnels be turned into food storage bunkers?72 Hour kits?What do you think?
LeSellers Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 So when Romney makes it to the White House, how will the cuisine served at State Dinners change?- Will Green Jello and shredded carrots be served?- Funeral Potatoes?I doubt it. The Romneys don't eat that way now, and they won't eat that way when they have a tax-payer funded chef, either.There won't be a coffee pot in the private kitchen, though. The whistling tea kettle will get a long-deserved break, too.Will the "secret" tunnels be turned into food storage bunkers?72 Hour kits?What do you think?The White House, Camp David, and various other Presidential abodes and retreats (including a very nice "bunker" for Congress) are already stocked with much more than 72 hours worth of everything and for many more than two people.We may just hear more about private preparation from a Romney administration, though.Lehi

thesometimesaint Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 The menu probably won't change all that much. A little less alcohol. The Romneys don't drink, but alcohol drinking guests at dinner parties still will.
LeSellers Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Easter candy year round...oh wait that is me.On the theory that jelly beans are used for Easter eggs, you would not be the first: Ronald Reagan always had Jelly Bellys on his desk (and elsewhere).Lehi

We have one we heat up occasionally just to listen to it. I know but things get slow around here at times and the old folks get nostalgic.
volgadon Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 No zakuska, though.A zakuska is the RUssian term for a food eaten when drinking alcohol, so as to lessen the latter's ill effects.

The President can make some changes but a lot of it is set in stone and/or out of the President's hands.
katherine the great Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I don't know why the whistling tea kettle has to go. We have one we heat up occasionally just to listen to it. I know but things get slow around here at times and the old folks get nostalgic.I heat mine up too for my herbal tea which I drink daily. Nothing wrong with a tea kettle!
Anijen Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Wants to see this happen; I wonder how many staff or Secret Service after being witness to family prayers and scripture reading will come to the conclusion hey this guy believes this stuff and hopefully perhaps they in turn will want to investigate.Wouldn't it be cool to say after twenty years working in the Secret Service, "I protected 3 presidents of the United States and was taught the gospel by one of them and I eventually asked him to baptize me."Just thinking out loudAnijen

Remember the apocryphal but probably true tales of hearing screaming matches during the Clinton years?

Bill “Papa” Lee Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I imagine that meat would be used sparingly...No Burgers for everyone...bring in a 'Steak and Shake".
LeSellers Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 No Burgers for everyone...bring in a 'Steak and Shake".Would you like fry sauce with that?Lehi
