Hi Herb,

Thanks for your note. We always have plenty of bacon grease so I’ll have to try this the next time. My mother and I were just commenting that so many old recipes and ways of living are coming back.
Thank you for staying with us and so glad you had a great visit. We have been busy with painting projects and have been so amazed at the transformation. Amazing what a little TLC and paint can do. Wishing you both a peaceful, healthy and happy New Year. Best, Donna

My Mother always used bacon grease in her pie crust. I do now too. In your recipe, I’d use 1/4 cup bacon grease and 3/4 cup unsalted butter. It makes the crust flakier and gives it a good taste, especially in apple pies. I save my bacon grease in a small jar and keep it in the refrigerator. My wife, Lorraine and I enjoyed our recent visit to Capt. Freeman Inn.

Comment on About Our Inn by captainfreemaninn

Hi Marise!

The Captain Freeman Inn is named after our famous first inhabitant, Captain William Freeman. Like your father, he sailed all over the world and was a very prosperous 19th century ship master. On another note, after seeing your last name I feel I should also tell you that Captain Freeman’s mother’s name was Martha Simonds. I know it’s spelled differently than your last name, but it seemed like too much of a coincidence not to mention it to you. Perhaps you can come and visit us sometime to see if your family is related!

Best Wishes,
Shannon Lane, Innkeeper

Hi,

I just wondered where the name”The Captain Freeman Inn” originated from.I have a personal reason for asking as my father was Captain Rudolph Freeman and sailed all over the world.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Marise
