When couples leave the Hollis Inn in Door County, Wisconsin, they leave with gift baskets Mrs. Ramosa makes herself: Madeleine's, scones, tarts, and of course the coffee her B&B is famous for. Some say it's the floral nuances. Some say it's the vanilla undertones. Others love its full body, claiming each cup's an aphrodisiac. But only Mrs. Ramosa knows. On the inn's back stoop she sits watching geese float across the lake. She feels the earth beneath her feet and dreams of mushrooms. |
