If you want to keep Inauguration Day going, you can now re-create President Barack Obama’s first lunch as president. The menu, inspired by foods Lincoln is said to have enjoyed, includes Seafood Stew and a Brace of American Birds. The government put the recipes online, but we’re sure Champagne lobbyists aren’t happy about the Korbel pairing being referred to as “California Champagne.” Celebrate a less tumultuous future with Europe by popping a bottle of authentic French stuff.
