This afternoon George W. Bush will host the Obamas at the White House, and just who doesn’t want to be a fly on that wall?
As Laura takes Michelle on a tour of the executive mansion, President Bush and President-elect Obama will discuss many of the current issues associated with the transition of power, such as National blah blah Security, and the failing blah blah economy. But what Bossy wants to talk about is this:
Known for her ability to prepare delicacies such as asparagus soup with lemon cream, pan-roasted halibut with pistachio nuts and currants, artichoke and reggiano cheese ravioli, and rosemary-crusted elysian farm lamb with crispy eggplant, for the last eight years Cristeta Comerford has kept George W. in BLTs.
We interrupt this post already in progress for a few fun-filled White House kitchen facts:
- It contains five sinks.
- And twelve burners.
- It’s more modest than you are right now imagining:
Bossy isn’t sure what’s on the menu for tonight’s gathering, but she’s pretty certain Barack O’Boyfriend will opt for a new White House chef when he takes office, since he’s a proponent of healthy eating and is all about living his best life, which in this case includes stealing Oprah’s chef Art Smith:
Other prospective White House chefs include Rick Bayless from Chicago’s famous Mexican restaurant, Topolobampo:
Or maybe it will be Daniel Young, who cooked for Obama at the National Democratic Convention:
Although if Barack does select Daniel Young, Bossy doesn’t want O’Boyfriend to be the one to break it to Young’s current employer, Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony:

November 10, 2008 at 10:36 amThat is THE cutest fly on a wall I have ever seen.
The Cheap Chick says
November 10, 2008 at 10:43 amIf I could cook anything beyond Totino’s Party Pizzas, I would sooooooo want to be the new Obamacook. That would be the coolest job EVER.
Heather says
November 10, 2008 at 10:43 amI’ll break it to Carmelo. By the time I am done he will be all Daniel WHO?!?

November 10, 2008 at 10:59 amTo hell with the five sinks — I want that Hobart mixer. *swoon!*
Auds at Barking Mad says
November 10, 2008 at 11:09 amThe fly on the wall pic had me giggling for a good long time. My 2 year old though…she’s kinda freaked out by it. “Dats not a normal fly, mumma!” *lol* I told her it was a special “Bossy Fly.” I don’t think she’s buying it.
After peeking in at the White House kitchen I have a serious case of stove-envy goin’ on.

November 10, 2008 at 11:15 amBarack O’Boyfriend and Bossy are likethis when it comes to living their best life.
g says
November 10, 2008 at 11:31 amAnyone want to bet that when Bush and Obama go into the Oval office for their “substantial chat” that Bush is going to tell Obama the story of his rug?
His beloved yellow ruggie.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
November 10, 2008 at 11:45 amI’m also lusting after the Hobart Mixer. And if I ever see that fly in my bathroom in the middle of the night, the O’Boyfriend family will hear me shriek all the way up in the D of C.
Alwyn says
November 10, 2008 at 11:50 amI cannot WAIT to go back to the White House for a tour once O’Boyfriend and Michelle move in. Took my kids last fall and it was full of propoganda and bereft of soul. Remember the filmed tour that Jackie Kennedy gave back in the Camelot era? Everyone was swooning over life in the WH and it was so glamorous. Perhaps that sentiment will return. If you’re going to have Hope and Change, why not wash it down with a shot of Glamour and Elegance?
Half Assed Kitchen says
November 10, 2008 at 11:57 amBossy is very up on her chefs.
And that photo of your head on the fly will be with me all day.
davido says
November 10, 2008 at 12:13 pmIf I were president… I would gain about 79 lbs in my first year in office. So whatever you do, don’t vote for me.
Another thing, you have to be a serious chef badass to even think about that job! I mean, think about it.. you’re hosting heads of state like all the time, and you could be giving food poisoning to the most powerful peeps in the world. So the prime minister of Sweden calls you up and he’s all “Dude! I’ve got the Whitehouse revenge since I visited last week and I have thus issued the decree banning all Abba exports to your lousy country!” .. and who wants that responsibility?
The Domestic Goddess says
November 10, 2008 at 12:41 pmBossy’s getting mad Photoshop skillz. Way to go, bossy!
Jennifer says
November 10, 2008 at 12:47 pmI’m with vuboq – all Mexican food (and Margs) all the time!
Deb on the Rocks says
November 10, 2008 at 12:58 pmThat fly is the thing of acid flashback nightmares, Bossy! Will you ask one of your gays of the female persuasion to hold me?
Liz says
November 10, 2008 at 1:09 pmThe flies at my house don’t wear cute blue scarves. They prefer balaclavas.
andrea says
November 10, 2008 at 1:13 pmI’d be excited to have Mexican food every day but that’s just me. I’m a little afraid of the fly with your head pasted on it. I’m going to hide under my desk now.
MarathonMom says
November 10, 2008 at 1:38 pmBossy as a FLY on the wall in that picture freaks me out. I find that quite disturbing. That is photoshop gone bad.
Reeb says
November 10, 2008 at 2:02 pmWhere do you GET all this stuff?
David says
November 10, 2008 at 2:05 pmWell if it was all Mexican food all the time, it would certainly solve America’s gas problem.
HA! Did you see how I did that? Went from a joke about dining right into the national energy policy and international politics?
Oh, and please don’t ever put my head on the body of a fly. Ugh. Besides, Jeff Goldblum already did the nice-Jewish-boy becomes a fly deal, so it would just be redundant with me.
HeyJoe says
November 10, 2008 at 2:51 pmThat Bossy-Fly gives me the creeps and makes me think of how flies regurgitate on their food, where food equals shit.
And yet this post made me hungry, where hungry equals nauseous.

November 10, 2008 at 7:04 pmDon’t think I’ll ever get beyond bossy-fly.
I can’t even comment on chefs, a favorite topic.
wrh says
November 10, 2008 at 7:17 pmAnything for an excuse to say “topolobampotopolobampotopolobampo” over and over again.
Mr Farty says
November 10, 2008 at 7:35 pmHey, Dubya doesn’t just eat BLTs every day. There’s also pretzels. Sigh, so near…
BOSSY says
November 10, 2008 at 9:31 pmHey Bossy’s ma: at least Bossy remains Stylish Fly, what with Scarf and all.
qt says
November 10, 2008 at 11:56 pmSo disturbed by the fly pic I forgot what I was going to say….
apathy lounge says
November 11, 2008 at 12:03 amThat pic made me think of Spanish Fly which made me think of Obama and eating–er–WITH HIM. Yes, that’s it. WITH HIM. And honey? I’d go ahead and eat Asparagus Soup (and I don’t even like the way it sounds) if it meant sitting at the same table with President Obama. Then later, when no one was looking, I’d steal his waterglass…the one with his lip prints on it.
movie fan says
November 11, 2008 at 12:29 amI heard recently that, despite all the perks that come with living in the white house, the first family still has to pay for any food that their private guests consume
Melanie @ MelADramatic Mommy says
November 11, 2008 at 1:05 amMy dad and Godfather are ex-Secret Service. If they have any Washington contacts anymore you’ll be the second to know.
caren Krupinski says
November 11, 2008 at 1:10 amI vote for Paula Deen!
Jason says
November 11, 2008 at 1:51 amThey’ve all said it, and I’ll say it, too. Bossy, you REALLY OUTDID YOURSELF with the fly!!!
Mandy says
November 11, 2008 at 9:46 amBossy, I really think Barack should hire my boyfriend. He’s a Chef. Living in Washington could be pretty cool and the Obama girls need playmates right? Hook that up for me Bossy.
Stephanie says
November 12, 2008 at 3:08 pmSlightly traumatized by seeing Bossy’s head on a fly’s body. Yikes.
Say What? says
November 12, 2008 at 6:51 pmI took a private tour of the WH kitchen. Pretty awesome – the pictures don’t do it justice! It is true that the First Family has to pay for the meals of private guests.
I LURVE the Bossy Fly! I would like to get one to come to my house and boss the rest of the flies the hellah out of my house!
Meg says
November 13, 2008 at 3:32 pmI would love to be able to eat Mexican food every day, especially if someone else were cooking it and serving it to me.
I would also love to have one of those kick-ass Hobart industrial-strength stand mixers in my kitchen. Imagine the triple and quintuple batches of STUFF I could turn out with that bad boy!
