Me and the Obamas



Well it has been a roller coaster weekend going to Washington. First of all being invited for Easter breakfast at The White House was just mental. I didn't know should I bring a gift or what. Before leaving I stopped at the local Irish deli and purchased a load of good Irish grub because food is always appreciated.
After the long drive we finally made it, I couldn't believe the amount of security I had to get threw. Finally we got up to the entrance where I was greeted by Michele,Barrack and ex president Bush's wife. It was just mad.
So we all headed into the main lobby and we where escorted towards the kitchen, this is when I knew that stopping at the Irish deli was a good move.
Next thing I pulled out a load of Galtee sausages, black and white pudding,a batch loaf of bread and a load of rashers.Michele was so excited to have some of this lovely Irish stuff. So i said "grab the pan there Michele and we'll get the fry on".
I started of by getting the sausages on and Michelle started buttering the Batch loaf.It was funny because Barrack was just sitting back watching the Eastenders Omnibus edition, it was just like being at home. After about a half hour all was ready for the feast and we got stuck in.
I think Michelle liked the Black pudding the best, as for Barrack, he was buttering up the batch loaf and making sausage sandwich's like they where going out of fashion, It was mad at one stage the butter started dripping down his chin and we all had a great laugh and the craic was Ninety. Soon enough it was time to go and the dream was over but it was a great experience, so we finished up the tay and we had the last few Jaffa Cakes and then i had to go. It was lovely to meet the Obamas i must say. All and all great craic !!
