An Obama Thanksgiving Menu, with an Extra Serving of Pie

The President also called 10 Service members to thank them for their service. The White House food sounds seriously nummy.

After some clamoring from the sparse working-the-holiday press corps, the White House has released the Obamas’ Thanskgiving Day menu.

Gone are the zucchini gratin, the gazpacho and the pumpkin mousse trifle that were Bush family favorites.

The Obamas are having an equally plentiful meal. In addition to the traditional turkey, the family is having a honey baked ham. There will also be two kinds of stuffing (oyster and cornbread), macaroni and cheese, and six -- yes, six -- different kinds of pie.
