from OBAMA FOOD-o-RAMA blog (Google Blogger):
The President loves pie, and the big finish to the dinner was six kinds of pie: Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Cherry, Banana Cream, Apple, and Huckleberry. The White House pastry chefs also created a special cake in honor of the Oregon State University Men's Basketball team (coached by the President's brother-in-law), which featured white frosting, little marzipan basketballs, and their team insignia.
On Thursday morning (Nov. 22), in keeping with a Thanksgiving tradition, President Obama called ten members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of the war in Afghanistan. "The President thanked each of them for their service and sacrifice and wished them and their families a Happy Thanksgiving,” the White House said. He called two service members in the Army, two in the Air Force, two in the Coast Guard, two in the Marine Corps, and two in the Navy.
During their visit, the Oregon State University Beavers, clad in orange dress sweat suits, had a tour of the White House, shot hoops on the basketball court, and met with President Obama in the Oval Office. They joined the First Family for a visit to a D.C. - area Food Bank on Wednesday afternoon, too.
