</div>
Eggs Benedict for Sunday morning breakfast is extra special when you use farm fresh eggs. I am always at the Ypsilanti Farmer's Market on Tuesday afternoon and Saturday morning to get the freshest vegetables, fruits, flowers and eggs. The taste of fresh is amazing.<br />
<br />
For this version of Eggs Benedict, I added fresh Michigan grown asparagus that I roasted in the over first. So I put it together this way; English muffin, Canadian bacon, asparagus, poached egg and topped it with Hollandaise sauce and a garnish of fresh chives. For some people this is enough to eat, but I served this with home fried potatoes and a fresh tomato.<br />
<br />
Here is easy Hollandaise sauce; 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature, 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice,3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, pinch of cayenne, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter.<br />
Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Put egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of the blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Take the the top of the blender off and with the blender on low, very slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture through the open top <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use it right away. Makes about 1/2 cup, or enough for about 4 -5 eggs.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I
have been planning to make this trip ever since I went to the
Ypsilanti Farmer's market last November and tasted the pizza rolls
made by the Stone Hearth Bakery in Brooklyn, Michigan. My son, Joe
and I decided to take advantage of a beautiful Spring day, and so we set our GPS and were off to explore Michigan Ave
going west from our home base, the <a href="http://www.parishhouseinn.com/">Parish
House</a> Inn, in Ypsilanti. Along the way we discovered some
hidden gems that looked interesting for future explorations.</span></span></span></h2>

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Saline</b>
is a bustling community and only 20 minutes down the road. In the
center of the city is the Rentschler Farm Museum, circa 1901, a large
historic farm house, barn and a very large yard. We plan to visit
again to go on a tour and see the events. At the main intersection of
Ann Arbor and Michigan Avenue, there are several restaurants, shops
and a large parking area.</span></span><br />

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Clinton</b>,
only 30 minutes from Ypsilanti, I saw tree lined streets with older
houses, quaint shops and restaurants with the Historic Clinton Inn on
the corner of the downtown. It was as though we had stepped back in
time. There 's even a golf course!</span></span></div>

minutes into our trip,</span><b>
</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">brought
my mind back to the lake areas of Southern Maine, where we lived for
8 years, where there are small resorts with individual cabins and
camp grounds. There is a recreation facilities include a miniature
golf course and an Old West Town. If you can picture rolling hills,
small lakes and winding roads, this is it.</span></span></span><br />

</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Brooklyn,</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
about 50 minutes to our destination. Brooklyn is where the Michigan International Speedway is located, and is the center of activity when NASCAR races are there. We followed our directions, turning north on M50, and found the Stone
Hearth Bakery.<b> </b><i><b>Pizza Rolls it seems are their THING!</b>.</i>...but they also make lots of other yummy
treats and a wide variety of breads. After deciding on which type of
bread we wanted, and how many pizza rolls to get, we walked around a
bit to see some of the shops and began our journey back to the
<a href="http://www.parishhouseinn.com/">Parish House Inn. </a></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It was a successful trip and we had a good time exploring. There are many more places and sights to see as well. In the summer, there are fresh vegetable stands and ice cream shops every few miles. Looking forward to seeing you and sharing even more tips...</span></span></span><br />

This is a recipe from my brother Jim...he is a great cook and enjoys sharing his recipes with me. On aobnvisit to Ypsilanti he made this chicken salad for me and I have enjoyed it ever since. There are a lot of ingredients and each one is important, so don't leave them out. I sometimes substitute dried cherries and toasted pecans and the grapes and walnuts with equally delicious results. </div>

<br />
This video review is from a recent guest. The background of the video is our breakfast room/kitchen area, and is also where guests enter the Parish House and check-in when they arrive. Once checked-in, guests can help themselves to a cup of tea or cocoa and nibble on one of our famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies anytime. In the morning Martha and I are ready with coffee and a freshly prepared breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade muffins and breads and a main dish like eggs or pancakes. If guests are off to work, then conversation is limited, but if time is not an issue, then guests engage in lively conversations with each other and the innkeepers.<br />
<br />
Our web site also offers a virtual tour of some of the rooms, so you can see the entire room. Some guests say it helped them to choose a room for their stay....whatever the occasion.<br />
<br />
We look forward to your stay,<br />
<br />
Chris and Martha,<br />
Innkeepers<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's that time of year for us when the homegrown fruits and vegetables are in abundance at the Farmers Markets. I have made plain peach jam in the past and was never very happy with the result. This year I found a recipe that originated in England, made some adjustment for our measuring system and cooking method. The result was not only foolproof but delicious. I have made a batch a week for several weeks now, and so I will have plenty on hand. because it doesn't use additional pectin, there is a longer cooking time. I found that it could be a hit or miss situation until I used my candy thermometer. It turns out perfectly every time. So enjoy!</span></div>

</tbody></table>
When you stay at the Parish House Inn, in addition to shopping or dining in Downtown Ypsilanti, you can visit an interesting little park nestled right next to the B-24 coffee shop and the Ypsilanti Public Library. It is called Library Park and was updated a few years ago when the Historic building that houses the library next door was totally renovated. There are permanent tables with checker boards for table tops, benches, a fountain, and an Historical Marker for Elijah McCoy. Ypsilanti is the second oldest city in Michigan, founded in 1829 (Detroit is older). the Ypsilanti Normal School, a teachers college, was founded in 1849 and became Eastern Michigan University. Elijah McCoy was an African American man who lived here in the mid 1800's and invented a self lubrication piston for the railroad engines, and the expression "the real McCoy" became associated with it. He later went to Scotland where he was responsible for many more inventions during his lifetime.<br />
So after a walk around the downtown area, enjoy a cup of coffee or browse through the library and relax in this lovely oasis and read all about Elijah McCoy. Eastern Michigan's school of business is across the street, so there is a lot of people watching to be done. <br />

The Parish House Inn bed and breakfast is getting ready for summer! The Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area has survived one the harshest winters on record and we have been busy preparing the outdoors for the spring and summer.<br />
<br />
The glider has been sanded and re-stained is is ready for the cushions and relaxing on the patio. The lattice around the patio is also stained and ready for those climbing roses to show off their blooms in June. The roses were cut down last Fall and the new support built. Now they are beginning to sprout and will once again surround the patio with their color and aroma.<br />
<br />
Every Spring there is a lot to do in the yard to prepare for the season. After this past winter with the snow and severe cold, it has been a joy to be outdoors! There will be pots of geraniums and other flowers and herbs added to the grounds as the weather warms. Looking forward to enjoying the patio with all my guests this summer.<br />

Under this name are it's attractions; Greenfield Village, Imax Theater, River Rouge Tour and the Museum. I am going to focus on each of these attractions separately in the next blogs. This blog will just focus on Greenfield Village.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It all began in 1929 when Henry Ford began collecting more than 100 historic buildings and thousands of artifacts. He wanted to preserve America's agricultural and industrial roots for future generations, and so he placed them on land he owned in Dearborn in various urban and village settings. Some of the structures that were moved and restored are Thomas Edison's Menlo Park research laboratory, the Wright Brothers' Bicycle Shop and Harvey Firestone's family farm. This complex has also known as the first Theme Park and many years later, Walt Disney used Greenfield Village as a model for Disneyland.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today Greenfield Village offers a wide range of attractions and activities. It is open April 15 to November 2 from 9:30 AM to 5 PM seven days a week. November and December hours are limited, but there are always special weekend events there. Make your plans now for a visit during the Spring, Summer or Fall. To see it all usually will take more than one day, so be sure to check out our website for room availability.</span><br />

Yes...it still looks like winter here. Unfortunately the back parking area has become a sheet of ice, so getting a car out is a challenge. But...the good news is that February is almost over. I am looking forward to March and hopefully warmer temperatures.<br />
In the meantime, there is always something to do inside. This recipe for a hot chocolate mix will warm you up and even help you sleep. I hope you enjoy it. This makes a huge amount, so it is great for gift-giving as well. Be sure to add the recipe!<br />
