On Politics and Cooking...

Have you heard that Joe Biden, theoretically Obama's top choice for VP, loves to cook?

I have to say, I'm not sure what to think about this tendency to attribute "home cook" status to our presidential candidates and their associated flocks. Is this supposed to make them friendlier? More "American"? More approachable and down-to-earth? Because honestly, it would be more American to admit you eat out 6 or 7 nights a week and use your refrigerator to store extra clothes. And also, nothing about Cindy McCain makes me think "approachable and down-to-earth," least of all her cookie recipes.

But I guess I see their point. After all, American's have a long history of believing one thing and doing something completely different.

...Michelle Obama has a pretty good looking shortbread cookie recipe, might want to add this to your Christmas Cookie repertoire. http://www.momlogic.com/printouts/michelle_obama_shortbread_cookie_recipe.pdf

What is is with first ladies and cookies? Show me a first lady who can make some killer artisan bread!
