Savannah's Innsite October 2007 Brought to you by the Foley House Inn

Greetings!
This month we feature Quita's coconut macaroons. They are a favorite treat here at the Foley House Inn during our afternoon sweets and tea. I am not sure if there is any real connection between the macaroon and Savannah, but just like our city, they have an intriguing history.
According to legend, the macaroon was invented in an Italian monastery in 1792. Later, two Carmelite nuns, hiding in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution baked and sold macaroons to cover their expenses. They became known as
the "Macaroon Sisters." The cookie recipe was supposedly passed on to
the Jewish community in France, who subsequently made it a staple of Passover baking.

Fall is here and the weather is beautiful. Now is the time to enjoy the vibrant shopping, sightseeing and relaxing evening breezes that make Savannah a great "walking city". The Foley House Inn sits on quiet and peaceful Chippewa Square. Centrally located in the historic district, Chippewa Square is the home to the statue of James Oglethorpe, the founder of the state of Georgia and also where Tom Hanks ate his box of chocolates in "Forrest Gump".
Sincerely, Allisen & Grant Rogers
