"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

President Reagan celebrated his birthday by having his favorite dinner -- macaroni and cheese. This recipe appeared in The White House Family Cookbook by executive chef Henry Haller and Virginia Aronson. The book mentions Thomas Jefferson's contribution of importing a pasta machine in 1787, and that when President Reagan was recuperating from his assassination attempt, the White House staff cooked his favorite foods, including this recipe for macaroni and cheese.
