The Kids’ State Dinner is a White House original in many ways — it’s not only the first time the guests of honor are ALL under the age of 13, it’s also the first time the White House kitchen has served a formal meal where the entire menu was created by “chefs” who have no formal training. But Executive Chef Cris Comerford and Executive Pastry Chef Bill Yosses say they learned a thing or two about healthy cooking from the young winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. [LetsMove.gov]
SHELVE YOUR CYNICISM for one second.
More than 50 children from across the country are gathering at the White House for the first kids’ “state dinner,” a luncheon hosted by first lady Michelle Obama. The 54 children ages 8 to 12 are winners of Mrs. Obama’s Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, which asked children and their parents to create original, nutritious lunch recipes representing each of the food groups as part of the Healthy Lunchtime Challent. More than 1,200 children entered. [CBS News]
Very cool.
Super
OUTSTANDING! I was less then enthusiastic about President Obama and Michelle but since she took on the title of First lady of the United States she has shown herself to be without QUESTION one of the classiest, best informed and hard driving First Ladies in our history. Kudos to her and her Lucky Husband!!
If you find anything wrong with this, you’re a complete partisan hack without a soul. May you be flogged eternally with stale, over-cooked noodles in a cold room.
” stale, over-cooked noodles in a cold room.”
As opposed to FRESH overcooked noodles?! I guarantee limpwithnoballs, handjobity and OLielly along with the gibbering insane asylum escapees at faux not news will harp on this.
