Family Circle magazine says there's -- "no reason" to halt this year's recipe contest between the presidential candidates' wives -- even though Teresa Heinz Kerry now says her pumpkin spice cookies taste -- "nasty." In fact, Heinz Kerry has said the recipe isn't even hers, insisting somebody at the Kerry campaign gave that recipe out and -- "somebody [did] it on purpose to give a nasty recipe."
I thought she would have blamed it on a vast, right-wing conspiracy, not someone in her husband's campaign.
Laura Bush , meanwhile, is standing by her oatmeal chocolate chunk recipe. Since Family Circle had its first so-called bake-off in 1992, the winning recipe has always corresponded with who ends up living in the White House.
I had read that Hitlery had won with a variation on chocolate chip. You cannot lose with chocolate chip cookies--or some variation thereof. Why any one would put forth something with pumpkins does not have the pulse of the Joe average American people. The Kerrys are notoriously out of step; they are internationalists and like a bit more spice than us midwesterners, for example.
