The inaugural luncheon, along with recipes, has been posted here, modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed. If I weren't busy watching the inauguration and planning a Chinese New Year feast later in the week, I'd be tempted to reproduce the menu. Instead, we're having khao soi tonight, a northern Thai noodle curry dish. I keep trying trying to find some kind of symbolism that makes khao soi appropriate for the inauguration (like eating noodles to promote long life for Obama) but the simple reason is just we like it, and what better reason when celebrating an incoming president that we're excited about.
Other inauguration foods being enjoyed today...bacon, eggs, and grits; hamburgers; donuts; red, white, and blue smoothies. And for SYT producer Melanie, on her table today are North Shore Cattle Co. grass fed beef burgers, "in keeping with Barack's themes of community and a grass roots campaign." She says's there's no pun intended, but I don't believe her.
