    Presidential Sweet Potatoes at Obama Luncheon

    The only veggie to make headline billing on the 2009 President Obama Luncheon menu.

    Sour Cherry Chutney also made the menu.

    I wasn’t too pleased by the lack of *vegetarian options available* side note. But oh well. Yay for the molasses sweet potatoes…
