Busy Thursday..

Pre baking.....

Post baking & two guest servings....

Wine and Cheese for two--

Rosemary Scones with Raspberry Preserves drizzled w/a lemon glaze--

The morning started off fairly easy...prepared coffee then had a lovely conversation with one of our guests. Discussed everything from his time at Woodbury in Virginia to traveling in Scotland and beyond. I have loved meeting all of our guests thus far!!

The rest of the afternoon was filled with running errands, cleaning, making sure "Love" was ready for our new guests, and baking! Brittany and I made heart shaped Rosemary Scones with raspberry preserves drizzled with a lemon glaze..YUM! I also made my second apple pie and I think it may be more of a success than the first one. Maybe the more I make, the better they will get. One can only hope, right?!? Our guests arrived just as it was coming out of the oven and I was so excited when they said they would love to have a piece! Followed by wine and a small cheese plate for two-which consisted of Blue Cheese, Parmesan, and Smoked Gouda with crackers, dried apricots, smoked almonds, and grapes.

Our guests in "Love" have requested breakfast at 6:15 because they have to get on the road early to head home. The menu planned includes: Italian Loaf French Toast with buttered honey syrup and fresh berries, Vermont White Cheddar Cheese Grits, Brown Sugar Bacon, Rosemary Scones, and (as always) yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit.

New guests are checking into "Love" tomorrow so we will have to do a quick turnover in the morning. Have a good evening!!! -Annie
