Mrs. Obama treats G-20 spouses to dinner on a farm

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer

PITTSBURGH – First lady Michelle Obama shared her passion for eating fresh, healthy and locally grown food with the spouses of world leaders at a dinner Thursday on a working farm.

Rosemont Farm, just outside the city in Fox Chapel, belongs to Teresa Heinz Kerry, a local philanthropist and wife of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. She is the widow of Sen. John Heinz, R-Pa., of the ketchup family.

White House social secretary Desiree Rogers greeted each guest at the door of the home, then led them to a patio where Mrs. Obama and Heinz Kerry also greeted them.

In remarks before the group, Mrs. Obama complimented Heinz Kerry for providing friendship and mentoring during the long presidential campaign. Heinz Kerry was in the same position during the 2004 election cycle when her husband was the Democratic presidential nominee. He fell short of being elected.

5. It's a catchy title.

A real farm, climate summit, and a farm is owned by Teresa Heinz Kerry, it works.

7. Very nice. I am just so thrilled all of this is taking place in Pittsburgh.

It has been my adopted home town for 15 years and I have grown to really appreciate its beauty. My daughter attends school at the University of Pittsburgh-right in the thick of things. She is just loving all of this- being a big Obama fan and all. I am picking her up tomorrow for a weekend home, I hope I don't get caught up in any traffic or protests.
