Not unusual, technically, but the one that made me battiest so far was the one that wanted protein every day (fine) and could have eggs but not cheese. (I think they were no dairy or something.) Eggs without cheese? But all my great dishes have cheese! I made scrambled eggs every day, which is fine... but goes through a LOT of eggs in a hurry!
This morning I served pancakes and the guest at the table said he was on Atkins. Oops... I forgot to ask? (How did I do that???) I was on Atkins this past winter, so I can certainly accommodate, but I never would have served pancakes if I'd known!

Kk..

YS you are sharing my "beginnings in innkeeping story" in a nutshell. I tell it often, when we bought this inn and I was so excited, I was up at the crack of dawn baking and baking, and all people wanted was MEAT, HIGH PROTEIN. I was never so discouraged in my life!
...And now you see the freshman 15, or is that twenty?
But do you know since then, this was like two years solid of this Atkins mania, meat meat meat. I have not baked, I bake for check in refreshments, cuz if they don't eat them, I put them out the next day for the next guests! But I only bake
on ocassion and
for a full house,
I no longer bake muffins of any sort, I have not since year 1
and won't.
That's my story and I am stickin' with it!
