WHITE HOUSE CHEF TO SERVE PETER PAN ON OSCAR NIGHT

The usually irascible White House chef was, for once, delighted to indulge the President in his favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich this week. After hearing about the salmonella contamination in jars of peanut butter at a ConAgra plant, the chef was heard telling his saucier, “Now I believe in Peter Pan.” The chef's peanut butter-themed menu for tonite’s Oscar viewing party at the White House includes: Peanut Butter Martinis, Peanut Butter Hummus with Peanut Pita Crisps, Rack of Lamb with Peanut Butter and Mint Jelly, Chef's Secret Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing and Double Peanut Butter Cookies with Triple Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Guests will be the Cheneys, the Roves, the Rumsfelds, the Wolfowitzes, Condoleezza Rice and several other nation builders.
