Twas the Night before Christmas at the Harvest Moon!

2009-12-11T10:42:00.005-05:00

You know, my family says that I am a bit of a nut when it comes to Christmas. I guess I just really like everything about it. When we moved to Lancaster County to open up our own Bed and Breakfast, little did I know that I would be in such a great area for antique Christmas collecting. I would like to say it is the capitol. Just ask Jim Morrison at the National Christmas Center. So when it comes

A Clipper a Lobster and a Chef

2009-12-01T09:24:00.005-05:00

Let's face it... I enjoy food! I enjoy everything about it. Looking at it, smelling it, cooking it and of course eating it. There is a family joke; My mom was... well how should I say it with out sounding mean... well she was an awful cook. She is actually the first to admit it and often laughs about it. So I guess growing up, I needed to fend for myself at times. Therefore the interest in

Whale Watching and Buggy Rides

2009-06-18T14:36:00.007-04:00

I once lived on the ocean up in New England; far away from our Bed and Breakfast in Lancaster County. The name of this small bucolic fishing community was Rockport. The village on the North Shore of Boston has a quaint little downtown area that seemed to have been stuck back in time. Great little shops, the old time pharmacy, a country store and even the corner bakery were all mainstays when I

The Bunny and the Lancaster Innkeeper

2009-05-21T13:26:00.008-04:00

I might want to be careful how I title this particular blog; you will see soon enough what I am talking about though. I have grown to love the gardens here and find myself fooling around with them over the course of the season. I have extended them to the hilt, or so I tell myself each year, but with each year, the gardens seem to expand. I just have to have that new perennial, or the plants have

"Cause I Eats Me Spinach"

2009-04-04T14:18:00.007-04:00

I remember being young, how influenced I was by me surroundings. The world was a big place and I was mesmerized by what was in it. As I stretch me mind and leave the comforts of me Lancaster Bed and Breakfast, I recall living in Reisterstown MD; I was only five at the time. I remember this commercial of people using soap and it made them float. That is what I got out of it being only five years

The Amish in Lancaster County

2009-03-07T16:08:00.006-05:00

The Amish in Lancaster County.... it took some time for me to get use to living here. As we decided to settle down to open up our bed and breakast in this bucolic community, we had to get use to "slowing down" Now I say slowing down with all due respect. I have never been as busy as I am now. However, I hear it all the time when guest come here to stay at the Harvest Moon. They say, "what a

Lancaster Chicken Pot Pie

2009-02-04T08:04:00.005-05:00

Is is really Pot Pie???So, what do you all think of chicken pot pie. I love it. Never did I realize until I moved here in Lancaster to open our Bed and Breakfast would it have a different twist to it. You see, typically for me, a pot pie would be made using chicken and vegetables in a thick sauce and served inside as a pie, with crispy crust. Nothing like it just coming out of the oven bubbling
