Hi everyone. Last weekend Bill and I and some family and friends went to Apple Fest here in Warwick. What a day. The weather could not have been more beautiful and the food couldn't have been better.

After serving our guests a breakfast of homemade cranberry scones, apple walnut cinnamon muffins and of course our now famous zucchini bread, we headed out to Apple Fest about 9am. When we got there, we were surprised at how not crowded it was. Well, that was short lived. As you can tell by the picture, by 11am it was wall to wall people. It seems to get bigger and better every year.

There were all kinds of foods and crafts and music. We walked around the whole festival and ogled at all the wares. Bill bought a birdhouse to add to the vast collection of birdhouses we already have. Now this is not any birdhouse. It is made from an antique tool with a claw and barbed wire. Go figure. But it makes him happy and that is all that counts.

My favorite part was the food. I was very good though, and didn't get too crazy sampling everything. But I did get some apple fritters. And they were delicious. We all went for lunch at Le Petite Cuisine. They always have great food and great sides. There were nine of us for lunch, but they managed to accomodate us and we sat down to a great meal. I had the Apple Fest pannini. It was an open faced sandwich on a toasted piece of french bread with turkey applewood sausage, apples and gruyere cheese melted all over it. Yummmmmmm. And on the side, a great chick pea salad.
Very satisfying and very Apple Festive.

All in all it was a very good day. You all must come next year if you missed it this time. In the next few blogs I will tell you whats going on for Halloween and I'll have some spooky recipes and some great history about the Inn.

Happy October everyone from Bill and I and check back soon.
