Greetings, Blog Readers and Foodies:
First off, a few months ago I mentioned when making MUFFINS it is fun to top some types of muffins with "raw sugar." To clarify, the ingredient of which I wrote is: Demerara Cane Sugar.
A few sprinkles on your muffin batter will create a wonderful sugar topping to your muffins! It looks fairly liquid when you pull the muffin out of the oven but will turn into a somewhat glistening crunch of sugary delight, finishing off in a tender, crumby cake of goodness underneath. Yum!!
Back to now:
Last weekend saw a fully reserved inn and some visitors from out of the blue. Diane & Frank, who owned the building back in 1979, came in to chat, amazed at the progression of the property. They also shared some interesting tales from when the building was converted from a home to a Bed and Breakfast.
I did not know that Inn at Long Lake was not always called by this name. Its first name was "The Old Annex Inn." Only floors 2 & 3 were used for guest rooms (now all 4 floors are used). Frank and Diane relayed some great tales and I was so happy to meet them. I take great pride in knowing I am blessed with the stewardship of this grand building. Every owner has put their share of love, tears, and toil into creating a "haven away from home" for our guests.
That's all from Naples! Remember to try that Cane Sugar idea on your muffins!
