Greetings from Western Maine!
Last night was New Year's Eve at the inn and what a great evening. The chilly weather outside, a toasty fire inside, a few sips of nice wine, and the right combination of people made for a low-key evening with lots of laughter.
LRTV ran my "Cooking Inn Style" New Year's Eve episode a few times in the last couple of days. The episode was filmed in 2005 (to be "young again" hehe) and featured simple appetizers for any party. The show is currently on hiatus but will reappear in Fall 2009 and directed by my dear friend, Fay Martin. Bill Felts, the former director, will assist in the behind the scenes production. I am so excited to be teaching again!
Two guests, Jenna and Josh, came down this morning for breakfast. Jenna extended her hand to me to reveal an absolutely beautiful engagement ring!! The proposal (and the ring) were both kept well-hidden by Josh. It warms my heart to see to lovely, nice people so in love. And how romantic of Josh to propose only seconds from the stroke of midnight!! CONGRATULATIONS to Josh and Jenna!
Coffee was paramount for the late breakfast eaters this morning. I was up early baking a Country Apple Streusel Coffee Cake with Butterscotch Schnapps Drizzle. Our featured entree for the morning was my Eggs Florentine (I use Baby Spinach) served on inn-baked Oatmeal-Molasses Toast. All enjoyed it.
Hope everyone's New Year is as good as Josh's, Jenna's, and this Innkeeper's! Make all your dreams come to fruition in 2009. "Either you can--or you can't; either way, you can be right!"
Your Maine Innkeeper,
Keith
Naples, Maine
