Fancy Food



At the Captain's Inn at Moss Landing, we are always trying to find new and wonderful breakfast items, menus, and treats. So your innkeeper Melanie went up to a huge San Francisco Fancy Food show. This show goes on forever and your innkeeper had to sort through hundreds of flavored vinegars & olive oils, miles of fancy slices of cheese, dough mixes, pate & more pate (made from everything), jellies & jam, crackers made from rice to sweet potato, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate (the tough job). She also went to classes and demonstrations, especially those for breakfasts. Well we ordered up several samples for the Inn. The samples have started to arrive, and kitchen testing with staff and guests is underway. Some of the finds we are most excited about: meyer lemon syrup, range of fruit syrups with fruit and no corn syrup, decadent dark chocolate cupcake mix, a mocha kiss sipping cocoa for lovers, gluten free recipes, really nut full granola bars, gourmet oatmeals with pumpkins seeds or dried mango, and a recipe for bacon/chocolate pancakes. For the items that work, we plan to share them with you during breakfast this year.

Breakfast


This fine family is visiting us from Las Vegas, Nevada. They are pictured here at breakfast in the Captain's Inn dining room. For breakfast today they had apple pastry, mango fruit plate and sweet potato pancakes with bananas and cream plus chicken apple sausages. Part of their plans for the weekend are to enjoy the festivities at the Castroville Artichoke Festival only a few miles from here.
