Melania must be quite an accomplished chef to be preparing all of that.

There's mama's toothpick legs!

Looks more like anorexia to me.

She does not look like Martha Stewart.  Hmmmm.

Hah - if she had knife skills, we'd be talking about President Bobbitt here everyday.

Don't give back the pandas if we get peeved at China, I loved seeing them in the zoo.

Earlier in the day, the first lady tweeted pictures of herself huddling with her social secretary Rickie Niceta (right) as the two women went over last minute details for Tuesday's state dinner with France

I know Trump doesn’t drink, but given the place settings, this has to be on the table, at some point.

Like you didn't know there was a White House culinary staff.

I just think it's funny that the menu would be released by the First Lady.  I would be surprised if she had much of anything to do with setting the menu.

Either way, one item deserves your ‘Ew’ gif.


The Office of the First Lady released details about the Trump administration’s first state dinner on Monday, revealing a menu that features greens from the White House kitchen garden, which was planted by Michelle Obama in 2009, and a china service that will include pieces from Bush 43 and Clinton’s services.

When First Lady Michelle Obama planted an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn in March 2009, she hoped to both set an example of healthy eating and to grow tasty edibles for her daughters and husband. But Michelle's organic dream has been dashed by a nasty toxic legacy lurking in the soils of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It turns out that a previous Presidential gardening team had used sewage sludge for fertilizer.

Anyone who eats produce from Mexico is eating the same thing.

Just more tangible proof......Melania is a smokin' hot piece.

If she's anything like the wives of male college/university presidents (who also refer to themselves as "first ladies"), she has everything to do with special event menus.

OK

As a former model, she's also put together a post meal purge kit:  Hair scrunchies, throat hose, bib, and mouthwash.

Just sayin'. First ladies usually plan menus with WH catering staff. Is that so offensive?
