Just read that this is the menu for the Inauguration dinner today. I generally can do EITHER fancy clothes OR an awesome lunch, but not both at the same time. There is no way I could make it out of a lunch like the Inauguration without spilling or dropping some food on my clothes. Here’s the menu:
First course:
Steamed Lobster with New England Clam Chowder Sauce
Sautéed Spinach
Sweet Potato HaySecond course:
Hickory-Grilled Bison with Red Potato Horseradish Cake and Wild Huckleberry Reduction
Butternut Squash Purée
Baby Golden Beets and Green Beans
Strawberry Preserve and Red CabbageThird course:
Hudson Valley Apple Pie with Sour Cream Ice Cream, Aged Cheese and Honey Maple Caramel Sauce
Artisan CheesesWine:
Tierce Finger Lakes Dry Riesling (2010)
Korbel Natural, Special Inaugural Cuvée California Champagne
Bedell Cellars Merlot (2009)
I am drooling just reading the menu. The only thing I am meh about is the Riesling, and that is just because I am not a fan of Riesling. But I am on a mission to find these recipes now!
