Mrs. T, i found a very interesting picture of First Lady Michelle Obama. The picture shows Mrs. O in her actual inaugural dress without the matching coat or the sweater. Here is the link to the picture: http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/segments/view/michelle-obamas-style-secrets/

Last year I made The Whitehouse Honey Cupcakes and they were delicious. They are not overly sweet and very moist. The next time I made them I added a little orange & lemon flavor to the batter. These are so easy to make and will be an instant hit with the family!

Thanks for the great post. I tried to get on Obama Foodorama but the message told me it is a blog only for invited guests. Does anyone know how to get an invitation?
