Stabenow Expected To Chair Senate Ag Committee

Gearing up for the 2010 Farm Bill...
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark), as expected, was defeated by her Republican challenger in Tuesday's midterm elections. Lincoln was the first female Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and wrote the child nutrition legislation that's a key component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign. Now that Lincoln's out, the chairmanship of Senate Ag is up for grabs as the crucial 2012 Farm Bill looms. This morning, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said she is very interested in holding the powerful post, and it's more than likely that Stabenow will get her wish.

"With the next farm bill right around the corner, I am ready once again to advocate for and strengthen this critical part of our economy for Michigan and our country," Stabenow said in a statement. (Stabenow, above)

Election Day 2010: A Bipartisan Recipe

White House Executive Pastry Chef Bill Yosses bridges the gap between Republicans and Democrats with Mamie Eisenhower's Cheesecake With a Chocolate Crust
A recipe that's a nod to both political parties in the US seems the ideal way to mark Election Day 2010, when the American electorate seems more split and contentious than it has been in decades. That's exactly what President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's Executive Pastry Chef, Bill Yosses, has created with his revamp of a cheesecake created by Republican First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, wife of President Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower.

Yosses is so fond of the recipe that he's included it in his cookbook "The Perfect Finish," published in June. It's a sweet historic bridge between the 34th presidency and the 44th, and sugary proof that there are some things everyone can agree on, no matter what their political party.
