He’s a great story teller! I always have an admiration for great story tellers, because I’m terrible! Weaving a whole picture...just using words. That’s why for me complimenting someone as being “well spoken” isn’t dig. Being well spoken is not about race. Same way no one would ever describe Kylie Jenner as well spoken.

@vincentprice9156 3 года назад

You notice in all the old photo's of the former Chefs, he's the only one looking at all the leaders with a great smile of admiration. You can tell for this guy, it was so much more than just a job but a passionate honor to serve them.

Laura Bush was the most beloved first lady that the secret service ever looked after--it has been said that agents fought over who would work in her protection detail--Mrs. Bush was known to knit hats and scarfs for the secret service members who looked after her-and she insisted to her husband that they delay their Christmas vacation until all the secret service members had time to go home and be with their families first

Coconut cake is a tradition in the South and, while this one is different than i grew up with, I would surely like to try Mrs Weiss' version. It would go with my other favorites, Mama Rosie's many layered chocolate cake (approx a dozen thin yellow cake layers cooked in cast iron skillets with boiled chocolate frosting) and Mrs. Ruby's caramel cake.

My mom's specialty was fresh coconut cake, and it was always expected at Christmas. In the 50s as a young boy, my job was to "milk" the coconut, and then breakout the "nut" and remove the cover/shell and then grind it into flakes. It was the coconut milk as well as the freshness of the coconut that made it so special, but her 7 minute frosting (similar to spreadable marshmallow) was to die for! It all ended in 1998! Thanks mom!

@smileforhiba 3 года назад

wow this chef is so polite and down to earth! What is strange to me though is that for the first time in my life I see someone humanize the Bushes :P

@meemzing 3 года назад

It was probably a good move to stick with Laura of all people. Not only is she a Bush by marriage, but she was also known to have the kindest/least "Bush-like" demeanor.

@Gigi-fv9ky 3 года назад

Really? I very much didn't like the Bush administration's policies, but they always seemed like nice people. And, of course, we all witnessed how they became friends with the Obamas. I think a lot of people who see them one dimensionally are perhaps too young to remember well their time in office. In fact, along with Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Bush first ladies make up the list of autobiographies I actually enjoyed.

@TheAshley9697 3 года назад

@sweetg12651 3 года назад

@realpolitiksanta5980 3 года назад

They were humanized when Trump came into power. During Bush’s presidency, they were dehumanized horribly by the press. I like the Bush’s, but make no mistake, this newfound “respect” by the left is only an attempt to further demonize Trump. The left doesn’t care about the Bush’s.

It's from the Executive Office. It's a direct order. "Standing by," they say, with all present by the phone. They nod. A command has been given, they put the phone down.... a cigarette is lit. "It's a fiftieth birthday. Three cakes are needed. .MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!!"

Finally, a method for 7-minute frosting that makes sense and doesn't require one to stand over a double boiler mixing for an eternity while the frosting comes set. This is a much better method. While I didn't always agree with President Bush, well, let's just say decency counts and kindness counts, and leave it at that.

Argh! I need to get myself a Kitchen Aid machine (from any brand) to make my baking easier! At the moment I only have a hand mixer so very limited with what I can bake because of the limits of a regular hand mixer... This cake would also definitely be on my baking list once I have the proper kitchen machine for it, there’s just no chance I could stand and use a hand mixer for over 10 minutes (I’m disabled) but I really do love baking both because the result is delicious and baking is very therapeutic when feeling sad or stressed or just wanting to do something else than being by the computer.
