New Kitchen Space!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks at the SLI. The exterior of the kitchen addition has been completed. Drywall is being installed, as I type! Our new guest room, the Eagles Nest is looking great! Cindy has selected a great color palette for the decor. One of our favorite past guests just booked the room for 5 nights in August. I think they are going to love it! We should have some photos of a few finished projects in the next week. Guests arrive for for lodging on April 10th! We are in crunch time…wish us luck!

Each off season at the Squam Lake Inn has brought many enhancements and changes. Last year the screen porch addition was the project that captured most of our attention. We also installed a POS system in our restaurant and upgraded to a full liquor license. This off season we are pushing forward with a bunch of projects all while enduring one of the snowiest winters on record! We will attempt to chronicle the progress of all phases of the expansion in this blog! We are in the midst of 4 projects: Kitchen Expansion, Barn Renovation, the 9th Guest Room and a cottage is being built. We certainly will have some challenges ahead of us, but we are very excited for all these projects. We will keep you posted on the details of the expansion!

Films–Food Inc. and Fresh are sure to motivate. http://www.squamlakeinn.com/blog/inspiring-films-food-inc-and-fresh-lets-eat-local.html http://www.squamlakeinn.com/blog/inspiring-films-food-inc-and-fresh-lets-eat-local.html#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:51:08 +0000 Rae Andrews http://squamlakeinn.wordpress.com/?p=155 We were fortunate to attend a screening of the documentary, Fresh, this week in Plymouth, NH.  D’Acres Organic Farm sponsored the event.  The movie, Food, Inc was a “wake up call” and Fresh is an inspiring film to enlist a grass roots movement of change.  If you have not seen either of these films yet–try to fit it in to your schedule. They are bound to change the way you think about food!

I mention these films because they serve as inspiration and reminders that eating local can be a reality–with some effort.  At the Squam Lake Inn, we are committed to serving local food in our cafe. Each year we have included more local ingredients to our menu. This year is no different.  We are very passionate are using local sources, but first you have to find them!  It can be a bit frustrating and very time consuming trying to source our food locally. We are small enough that we can’t consume what a local farm would commit to plant for us yet to too large to purchase consistently from local farm stands.  We are actively forming partnerships with local farms and we can tell you that it is a rewarding feeling to support them!

Please stay posted as we are planning some exciting enhancements  to our menus.
