The edible White House: and what a swell (political) party!

I was lucky enough to be invited to a holiday reception at the White House last week to see the decorations up close and the President and First Lady from a distance.

Never mind the Christmas trees in every room.  The gingerbread house!*

 

It comes with its very own garden, hoop houses, beehive, and kale:

The candy vegetables were not to be eaten.

But the cookies most definitely were.

Here’s to a happy, healthy, and well nourished holiday season!

Bo seems to be out of scale next to the White House!

What a wonderful, cheerful, political post! It’s not very often you get to say those three words together.

I am sharing with all my foodie friends/groups. The “edible veggie garden” (such a beautifully redundant way to describe this confection) is absolutely fabulous.

Thank you so much for sharing Marion! Happy holidays!
