Reports continue to come in about the marvelous time they had in Lanesboro, and our "beautiful, cozy Cappuccino Suite" they stayed. Hats off to Brett at The Lanesboro Pastry Shoppe,  reports are still coming in from the gals that the Scones "are the best they have ever eaten."

Lanesboro Happenings for August 11-16, 2011

Hello and welcome to the Coffee Street blog. My name is Cheryl and I am the new Innkeeper. This past weekend was Buffalo Bill Days and boy was it fun. We enjoyed the fireworks from the balcony here at the Inn and everyone was wowed at the spectacular view and show.


Coming up this week Lanesboro has a lot to offer. There is Open Rock Climbing over at Eagle Bluff and the St. Mane has the "Over the Back Fence" community variety show scheduled for Friday at 7pm. The tickets are only $5 per person. Saturday, the 13th there is the Union Prairie Toy Show, and the Lanesboro Art Center has a free art receptions for the public celebrating the opening of "Everyday Icons" a mixed media exhibit featuring the work by artist Mary Catherine Solberg. Of course there will be live music nightly at the Riverside on the Root- Dirty Martini Lounge.


This weekend here at the Inn I plan on serving our guests some fresh Blueberry Nectarine Buckle for breakfast  and some yummy rolls from the Pastry Shop.  We have a great group of guests this weekend and the weather is mighty fine here in the Root River Valley.

Hi!

My name is Cheryl Sherry and I am the new Innkeeper for the Coffee Street Inn. I am very excited to be a part of the staff here in Lanesboro and look forward to meeting all of our Guests soon. This weekend we are celebrating Buffalo Bill Days here in Lanesboro and the weather couldn't be better!

While all of our guest are special I just wanted to mention a very special couple celebrating their anniversary with us. We love special occasions here at the Inn and can accommodate most small events and special occasions. Ask me about small group meetings, and Hunting, Bachelorette, Quilting, Scrapbooking and Reunion events we can help you with.

I wanted to share a recipe from my families native home Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I grew up on these yummy little tarts but always thought the name was funny! They are really easy to make and keep well frozen too.

Cape Breton Pork Pies

1 Cup butter
4 Tablespoons icing sugar
2 Cups white flour
Pinch of nutmeg
Mix well and press into tiny muffin tins.
Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Cool

On the stovetop cook the following until smooth:

2 Cups chopped dates
1 1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 Cup water
1 Teaspoon lemon juice
1 Teaspoon white vinegar

Add a spoonful of the date mixture onto each shell and top with Maple flavour butter icing.
