Repairs are Complete at the Parish House Inn

New paint on windows and walls

 These are the photos showing the finished  repairs that have been done to the exterior of the house.  All the windows are freshly painted with the burgundy color.  The window frames have been repaired and painted as necessary with the light sand color.  And the side of the house has been scraped and painted the dusty rose.  It all looks fresh and beautiful.  The floor on the front porch and the stairs to it have been repaired, replaced and painted.  A much needed improvement.  Our sign was in bad shape and now it has been replaced with a new one that looks like the old one.   You can't see it, but our chimney on the roof has also had work done.  So now we are all bright and shiny again and ready for you.  I decided to add the photos of the roses, just  to remind you of how beautiful our patio is during the summer.  the peonies are also in full bloom.  The yellow Stella D'Oro day lillies are setting out buds and will be blooming in a few days...book your room on line and join us!

Strawberry Butter is Tasty on Toast at the Parish House Inn

June brings the promise of fresh strawberries available at many u-pick farms as well as farmers markets.  This recipe uses fresh strawberries with butter and cream cheese to make a delicious spread for toast, muffins and scones...and it couldn't be easier.  I am looking forward to creating delicious food from all the fresh fruits and vegetables I can find at my Farmers Market this summer.  Happy eating!

STRAWBERRY BUTTER

½ cup butter, softened

1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup strawberries, sliced

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until blended. To serve, place in a small dish and serve with bread, muffins and scones.

Store any leftover butter in a covered container in the refrigerator.
