First Lady Michelle Obama continued her commitment to military families yesterday when she spoke at the Joint Armed Forces Officers’ Wives’ Luncheon yesterday at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC. In her remarks the First Lady announced that the President’s 2011 budget will include a record $8.8 billion for military family support programs.
For only $40 the ladies dined on fresh spinach salad, tarragon marinated breast of chicken with a béarnaise sauce, whole green beans and julienne red & yellow peppers topped with toasted almonds, oven roasted red bliss potatoes, triple chocolate charlotte with raspberry drizzle, and of course wine. There was also a vegetarian menu option. Wonderful menu selection and they got to hear from the First Lady. Sounds like a steal to me.

Maybe next time you will be invited GL. And I do think Mrs. O cooking days are over with for awhile. Unless it’s just something the President or the kids like the way she makes it.
