Ashland Oregon is slowly waking to the early signs of summer. Spring blossom, daffodils and tiny leaves are unfurling from their winter sleep. Bright colors that overwhelm the eyes. Having never experienced Spring until I came to America I am still in awe of this magical season. The early mornings of rising in the dark just before sun up. I put the freshly brewed coffee out for our early rising guests partial to the wafting smells. Open the blinds and turn on lights before I stop to gaze out of the front window into the far distant Cascade mountains. Waiting for the sun to rise before I he ..read more

ABIGAIL’S BED AND BREAKFAST INN – keeper RECIPES. I have often been asked for a baking recipe from guests who have enjoyed our hospitality and like the idea of having food baked or made “from scratch”. More often than not as they are leaving. I just hate the idea of giving them a recipe that may be wrong because I have written it down very quickly. Also I am used to working in grams instead of ounces and often do not have the time to convert for their use. After all what if I get it wrong …… once too often I have played with the chemistry of baking to my detriment and the trash can ..read more
