    KGB Website

    Has anyone heard of or used the KGB Deals website? I just got a call today and they wanted me to list on it. I said I wouldn't do anything like that over the phone so they sent me an email about it. I went to the website and it looks sort of like a living social kind of thing. I had never...

    Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Vs. Canned Concentrate

    I'm curious how many of you actually do fresh squeezed orange juice. I had a request not too long ago by someone making a reservation. She asked me if I serve freshed squeezed. I was honest and told her no we use frozen concentrate from a can. I do get a lot of compliments on the orange...

    Crock-Pot Cooking for the Innkeepers Meals

    There was a forum posting a few weeks back and the crock-pot came up. Well that totally inspired me to go out in the garage and dust off the crock-pot that was idle for 3 1/2 years and now I have been going non-stop. I even had to purchase another crock-pot to keep up. I've been making a lot...

    Roasting Coffee

    I've read on here that some of you buy your coffee beans green and then roast them for the guest after they pick what they would like. It seems like this could be a great touch to a bed and breakfast. Where do you buy your green coffee beans? I buy already roasted beans for about 7 dollars...

    Privacy Manager Telephone Feature

    My day is filled with sales calls, telemarketers, and people calling to verify a directory that I am unknowingly listed on. I don't give information out to anyone over the phone who calls me like this. Some days I might get 10 calls and it is taking up my time when I have other things to do...
