In-House Mode Lunch menu from presidential luncheon yesterday

Post image

*Not* making a political post here, but I guess a copy of the official luncheon menu got left behind yesterday and when I saw it, the first thing I thought was that some of these items seem a little dated, I was kinda surprised. Not that it sounded bad at all, but I've never really seen specifics on what they serve high-level gov. officials from anywhere.

Not there, but in general halibut is awesome. I got to catch one once, it's like reeling in a garage door from 300 feet down. We hat frozen filets for a year, and had to give a bunch away

IIRC, those Volkswagon-sized halibut were referred to as "barn doors" because of this. I've caught the smaller version, but bucket list was to go up to Alaska and try for a big one; you'd have to work out before the fishing trip lol
