Get a load of the flowery chintz! I figured the Clintons to be more of transitional couple. Who knew they would go for southern garden party chic? Their Arkansas is showing.

Oooo, I LOVE that red lamp! Where can I get on like it in pale blue?

Pottery Barn, perhaps?

Of course! You don’t suppose HRC would allow a picture to be taken without vetting the accessories first (and hiding the silver)

Wanna bet that modest little corner is specifically designed for photo ops & has nuttin’– but nuttin’– to do with the scale or splendor of the rest of the house Or, put it this way, think that little nook is where she receives Rupert Murdoch ?

An embassy gofer was designated to find him 2 bottles of Scotch. Not an easy thing to accomplish in Khartoum, but the gofer was resourceful and managed to promptly get what the good senator needed. the gofer told me he was amazed at how quickly the two bottles were consumed. Innuendo perhaps, but drinking, copiously, serious liquor in a country like Sudan was an indication to this guy that Danforth’s craving was way past normal.</p> EPU’d but no matter……….

I never knew his recipes were online. Under seafood, I have cooked the Fish With Pecan Butter Sauce and Meunire Sauce about 10 times. It is excellent! I mean it. I always use Yellowtail. Very impressive dish for company but FYI, it takes several hours to cook. That page in my book actually has food stains all over it.
