Look who greeted us when we arrived for our training day as Innsitters at the Sleeping Bulldog B&B in Seattle. OK, I was a little nervous... Well, it turns out it's a lovely B&B and a pleasure to take care of but the owner, Korby just goes all out for Halloween. There are skeletons walking bulldogs by the front door, cobwebs on the stairway, a witch by the cookie jar, crows on the chandelier and a huge spider hanging over the dinning table. It's SPOOKY in SEATTLE!
Here are two witches in the morning... spooky, huh? We had a guest with a gluten intolerance this morning so I had made some gluten free muffins. One of my innkeeping tricks is to make a batch of gluten free muffin batter and then divide it into several small bowls and add different ingredients to each so that you end up with two cranberry, two blueberry, two chocolate chip etc.. That way you have more options to meet guests dietary needs.
These are my Halloween Brownies [not gluten free] - made with Blood Orange Olive Oil- they are really SPOOKY!
So, even though it is Spooky here in Seattle, we love being Interim Innkeepers at the Sleeping Bulldog and hope to come back. I wonder what Korby does for Christmas? How do you decorate for the Halloween season?
Sleeping Bulldog is a gem even without seasonal deco. I loved the view of Sodo, stadiums and mountains. Thanks for the muffin suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for being such awsome Innsitters for us while we were away! It was comforting to know that our Inn was in such good hands! The place looked asome when we arrived home.
