White House orders that Scheib create a special inaugural menu to
honor the brand names represented by more than a dozen top GOP and Bush
campaign donors. Scheib was reportedly vocal about his unhappiness
over having to create dishes that featured such ingredients as
Coca-Cola, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Pilgrim's Pride Whole Butter
Basted Turkeys.
Hi, yes...but I do have to agree with Andreas on this one--it IS kind of
funny! I simply cannot imagine...
(small consolation, Eric, Krispy Kreme was losing money not long ago--don't
know if the White House 'saved' them or not--maybe they got a contract for our
soldiers in Iraq. Hm...is there a place to check on all the companies who
got contracts over there? I do know someone who, at the beginning of the
war, was in Kuwait setting up contracts for things like Gatorade and the
like...I think she got a contract for botted water...she is an American living
in
Italy...and though she didn't make the $$ that people like Haliburton did/are
doing, it was very very lucrative an opportunity for her...[she pretended she
is not an American most of the time--She's fluent in many languages] Was kind
of hard for me as I'm glad she is doing well, but still...Speaking of morals
and ethics...she is a perfect example [to me] of someone who will take any
opportunity and make money from it...I could not do that. I like her alot
though and she is grand fun. Her life simply puzzles me most of the time. Of
course, she is there and lives much better than I do and I am here and living
in a red zone--so whose life is better?)
Wondering what to make for dinner tonight and thinking of basting a chicken
with Pepsi <g> or Dr. Pepper [who did THEY support?],
Marlena in Missouri
