    "Can I get this to go?"

    I DO serve big portions. What cannot be put in a small sandwich baggie, I just just ask the guest if they’d like to wrap it themselves in a piece of foil. All do. Maybe not the most elegant way of doing it but at least I’m not touching the leftovers and people wrap it the way they want.

    Innkeepers staying at other B&Bs

    I’ve met some thatbhave mentioned it to ’impress’. Didn’t. And some have been kindred spirits. I think you can instinctively tell. I met one this fall that I immediately bonded with and her and her DH will visit us again in the spring before she goes full tilt so that they can stock up in Town...

    Tenth Anniversary

    You were my first fellow innkeep to host at my B&B and we’ll never forget you. It feels like a lifetime ago. You were respectful yet you spoke your mind. I liked that. Had a great time breaking bread with you at our seafood festival and wish you could have stayed longer. And you added to DH’s...

    Innkeeper Murphy's Laws

    I have certain lights I leave on all night so that guests don’t stumble. Some lights on timers. I think I may have to label everything.

    First day on the job

    I hope you’re not apologizing for things that are out of your control. Yesterday I had a guest tell me that Newfoundland was ‘now closed’. Well... the ocean is still there, the fall colours are at their peak, the hiking trails are still open. I can still tell you where to find music and live...

    Fruit course - what's your specialty? Simple or extravagant?

    I make a granola cup. My simple granola recipe and mold it into a muffin pan. Bake at 300 for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let cool for 20 and then gently twist them out. I store them in an airtight container so that they don't go hard ( if they do, just micro for a few seconds) Then I fill with...

    help for the soon to be newbie :)

    Nearing the end of our fourth season. This group offered invaluable advice, sometimes delivered brutally, lol. But the best group of people to have on your side. My semi-newbie advice to you is look after yourself. Suffering some semi-burn out here and so can speak from experience. Year five...

    You had ONE job!

    So sorry to hear about your dad. This profession does not lend itself to unplanned, personal circumstances. Stressful for you. So sorry.

    TA is Dying... and They Haven't Noticed

    Well, I know for a fact that they haven't posted all my reviews. Had a guest email me to let me know how much she enjoyed her stay and to watch for her review on TA. That was weeks ago. Nada. And yes, my reviews are down this year too.

    Someone 'keyed' my car :(

    That stinks

    Feel free to rummage thru our private fridge - Not!

    Totally agree. We have barn style doors that we put a latch on. Now mind you, if you really wanted to, you could break in but I think the fact you hear the metal grinding if you try and slide it open is deterent enough.

    Finally Cut The Cord With TA

    Not a techie. But I use my allocator. Do you mean set my prices in that system and then feed them to the OTAs?

    Serving time

    8-9 is the norm, but for business people I will serve earlier if pre arranged and for those that need to catch very early flights, I'll give them a breakfast to get because even they don't want to eat at an ungodly hour. For late risers, I usually will keep breakfast warm until about 9:20 and...

    Sorry, I couldn't even watch this all the way through.

    Finally Cut The Cord With TA

    Question for you Mort: How do you tack on the extra charge on B**ing.? Don't you have to have your price the same as theirs? I thought you couldn't have a cheaper price on your website?

    Nespresso vs Kettle vs Filter

    Ditto Beachie and Mort.
