| Bush Heads for Canada,
Dinner
President Bush departs today for a good
will visit to the frozen tundra of our neighbor to the north. During the
short trip, the president intends to visit a back bacon factory, view some
walruses, and meet with King Martin III for an unbelievably delicious
dinner, prepared by the dean of Canadian chefs, Phillippe Wettel of the
Ottawa Westin.
"This will be a meal fit for a King," said
Wettel, stating the obvious while rubbing his belly in anticipation. "My
mouth waters just to think of it. We begin with... a bed of Sante Fe
guacamole topped with giant shrimp and New Brunswick Lobster! Oui! Oui oui
oui!!!"
"And then, and then... Roasted Okanagan
apple and butternut squash bisque spiked with 'Gentleman Jack' Tennessee
whiskey! La manière trop bonne pour des porcs aiment ces derniers, si je dis
ainsi moi-même. Of course, for Mister Bush, we have prepared a separate
portion which is spiked with Fresca."
"The main course? How good of you to ask.
We have... Mesquite smoked medallion of Alberta beef served with Taber corn,
Yukon gold mashed potatoes, hand-picked baby vegetables and a Niagara Merlot
sauce! Merci. Merci. Merci beaucoup. Please hold your applause until I
announce the desert."
"We have heard how much the president
enjoys his sweets, so in his honor, I am preparing... Saskatoon berry creme
nestled on dark chocolate fondant, Florida orange sabayon and mousseline
with a Quebec maple bourbon sauce!!! Merci. Merci. Vous êtes trop aimable.
Oh, Mister Bush should have quite a sugar buzz going after he eats this
dish, which in his honor, I am naming 'Le Sucre a Enduit le Festin de
Bush'."
"And now, if you will please excuse me, I
have a lobster to de-bone." |
