The Trumps (with Melania in the controversial ‘no pants’ pants) return from Iraq on December 27. Just 12 days into 2018, news broke that porn star Stormy Daniels alleged she had an affair with Mr Trump in 2005 when his wife was pregnant with Barron. Ms Ungaro also posted an Instagram story of Melania chatting away madly at the dinner table.Ĭertainly, 2019 has – so far – started better for Melania than last year. One guest who seemed bowled over by Melania was Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who posted a shot of his brush with “the very warm” Mrs Trump.Ī post shared by Amanda Ungaro on at 9:52pm PST While this year’s menu hasn’t come to light yet, last year it included the Trump iceberg wedge salad, lobster ravioli, sea bass and a baked Alaska dessert. In 2018, Melania mingled with paid-up club members and their guests, who paid $1760 for a cover band and fancy dinner. Heavily pregnant at the bash in 2005, she was “paraded around like a broodmare”, according to Vanity Fair, which reported Mr Trump urged her to stand up “so you can all see what I’ve done to her”. Melania’s debut appearance at the lavish annual party was in 1999, when her then-boyfriend Mr Trump charged $2846 a head (reportedly the highest-ever ticket price in Palm Beach for a non-charity event) and trucked in 13 kilograms of caviar. She first wore black in 2016 when her husband was president-elect. The colour was unusual for Mrs Trump, who in past years has shown a preference for pink gowns at New Year’s Eve parties (last year it was a rose embroidered Erdem satin number). With the government shutdown keeping an unhappy Mr Trump, 72, at the White House, she was the evening’s unofficial host, gliding through the Mar-a-Lago crush in a spangled black Stella McCartney dress. On New Year’s Eve, the man on Melania’s arm was a tuxedoed Barron. Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year! ✨Ī post shared by First Lady Melania Trump on at 8:25am PST “She does what she wants to do, whether that’s tweeting, expressing something that doesn’t necessarily fall in line with her husband’s administration policy.” “She’s the most independent First Lady in terms of what she’s doing, making up her own rules, that we’ve seen quite frankly in modern history. “In a lot of ways the First Lady isn’t following the traditional path,” CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett said on December 30, recapping Melania’s year and forecasting her next moves. So does Mrs Trump’s New Year’s Eve photo – indistinguishable in its ordinariness from social messages shared the same night by suburban matrons everywhere – flag that she might do more things her own way in 2019? Not for her posting shots of son Barron, 12, as he grows up, or of catch-up dinners with girlfriends. Until now, FLOTUS has been diligent about protecting what little privacy she has left. And no dish delivers better on all those fronts than the classic wedge salad-a quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce dripping with creamy blue cheese dressing and scattered with crisp bacon, tomatoes, and more.Since Mr Trump first put up his hand to run for US President, the former model has super-carefully curated her social media image, from giving up ponytails (not on brand for the ‘mother’ of the nation) to ditching casual personal shots. We're entering that time of year when foods need to be satisfying but not gut-busting. And yet, even if it isn't that hot out, it's definitely been getting warm enough that my water consumption is starting to spike while my appetite recedes (well, slightly, anyway). The other day I looked at the thermometer outside my New York City kitchen window and it read 105☏. Crisping the fresh bread crumbs in the rendered bacon fat adds more smoky, porky flavor to the dish. Quick-pickling the red onion reduces its harshness while adding a needed bright note to balance the creamy richness of the dressing and meaty bacon.Salting the tomato drains excess water, concentrating its flavor while seasoning it throughout.
