Another Marathon Friday in our BnB on one of the hottest and most humid of days; strange to think that the other side of the world is blanketed in snow!
Guests have been coming and going this holiday season while our staff have all gone home to be with their families, so it's been really hectic!
A lovely young family looking all snazzy for their day's outing!
Although we have someone we call on during marathon guest changeover days, it is panic stations as the pressure is all on me; different story when our housekeeper is here as we calmly work together like a well oiled machine!
During times like this I remember what my aunt told me when I first started this little business - Running a BnB is not for the faint hearted!
My aunt ran a very succesful little BnB in their quaint Karoo/Cape Dutch style home which was declared a national monument in the beautiful historical little town of Graaff Reinet.

This home was said to have a resident ghost, a tall man that was seen by some guests! I made sure when we visited that she gave us a room that he did not frequent as I have the most vivid imagination and ghosts I do not want to bump into in the middle of the night!
But if we wanna be Ghost Busters tonight we're going to need good sustenance; and that is for the whole gang of Food Fight Friday.
Who's gona be the bravest Ghost buster of them all?
Our crazy #fff Kung Fu Fighters @idig, @jlsplatts or @dandays or the champion Steemit defender @appreciator? It's time we bust that ghost!
Here at Lily's Cottage we have no ghosts but we had our kids over for Christmas (kids no longer as they're both now 40 plus!) Of course they were looking forward to some good homecooked meals so I will share with you some of the breakfasts I served for the hungry mouths!
The easiest breakfast of them all is what I call a Bacon Bread Pudding - buttered bread squares soaked in a milk, egg & mushroom soup powder mixture overnight, diced baby leeks, bacon & cheese popped on top and baked in the oven for about 30 min. The smell from the kitchen woke everyone up so we could get an early start for a drive down the coast to one of our favourite spots!
Another morning favourite was a simple Veg & Cheese upside down Omelette - Parsley, diced baby Leeks (yes the're growing in our garden so are being used all the time now) and frozen Peas were sauteed in a pan, 4 beaten Eggs poured on top, sprinkled with Cheese and a lid popped on, made a huge omelette enough for two hungry mouths with some homemade bread; just a couple of rounds like this and everyone was fed in no time!
And last but not least German Crumpets with spicy fruit mince added to the batter and caramelised in butter and brown sugar once flipped. Served with double cream Greek style yogurt and blueberries, this was a real treat.
Hope you're all ready now to bust them Food Fight Friday Ghosts!
