So we did a lot of research and decided to become innkeepers. Come morning, you ll want to partake of Arlene s wonderful breakfasts in the farmhouse kitchen, with favorites like eggs and muffins and yummy hot fruit dishes like Blueberry Ginger Muffins and her award-winning Spicy Baked Pears with Yogurt. The couple has authored a collection of recipes and ramblings called Mendocino Mornings, with watercolors by Mendocino artist Erin Dertner. Our parlor is waiting for you stocked with cream sherry, mineral water, a selection of herbal teas, a jar of biscotti, and some devilishly delicious treats arranged on the sideboard. Sounds like a wonderful reason to head north to wonderful, romantic Mendocino.
