All eyes will be on the inauguration of Barack Obama on Tuesday and the day is said to be filled with Abraham Lincoln tributes from top hat to bottom. 2009 is after all, Lincoln's much anticipated bicentennial so it is fitting that the inauguration's theme is "A New Birth of Freedom."Obama will be sworn in using the same bible as Lincoln and the post-inauguration lunch includes culinary traditions from the Lincoln-era served on Mary Todd Lincoln's own china. They're even cooking up wild game just like Abe would have eaten as a boy growing up here on the frontier in Spencer County, Ind. The menu is said to include duck breast with cherry chutney, molasses whipped sweet potatoes, and cinnamon apple sponge cake.
