"  As the nation looked while the 44th President, Barack Obama, was inaugurated today, Martha Stewart and I had other things on our mind ... what would they be serving at the Inauguration Luncheon? Well it just so happens that the Executive Chef Shannon Shaffer phoned into Martha&amp;#039;s daytime talk show yesterday to discuss the menu. With Obama&amp;#039;s intense interest in Abraham Lincoln, the luncheon menu featured a lot of Lincoln&amp;#039;s homestyle favorites, including a seafood stew, maple whipped sweet potatoes and an apple cinnamon sponge cake. During the episode, Martha was also visited by a Lincoln historian and displayed a beautiful table setting that while perfect for an inaugural celebrations you may be having, it&amp;#039;s an elegant classic ensemble that can be used for other special occasions as well. Two hundred and thirty guests were expected at the luncheon today and while my invitation seems to have gotten lost with the Pony Express, we can all do the next best thing and make the recipes from the meal in our very own home. You can find complete details on the episode right here - enjoy! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
