...because I didn't close it over the weekend.

Today's special is eggs.

Boiled, fried, poached, coddled, convent, I might even do scotch eggs.

Tea and coffee as always and toast of course.

@HeronLanyon

Not short staffed, that's the great thing about a virtual cafe, staff can only get virtual illnesses.

Delicious! Sent me back to sleep. Thank you

If the kettle is still on could I have a nice big coffee and a toasted something of another a bagel would be amazing if you have one.
Got a feeling it's going to be a mighty long day.

sashh · 18/03/2020 08:02

1 bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese, one large filter coffee

Oh I took some OTC medication last night and it completely wiped me out! I came to briefly and checked for side effects and sleepiness is one, then conked out again!

Can't believe it's so strong

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:26

which medication was it Frownette?

Frownette · 18/03/2020 09:31

Not sure I should say in a cafe... whispers: imodium

It's done the trick but I'm obviously a bit sensitive to loperamide which is the thing which can send you to sleep. Never taken it before!

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:35

I’ve never taken it either, at least it did the job Smile

sashh · 18/03/2020 09:46

I once took night nurse, it knocked me out for 24 hours.

@Music

Sorry we are only doing posh today, you can have asparagus wrapped in pancetta to dip in a soft boiled egg, or eggs benedict?

OP posts:
MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:53

Eggs Benedict shall do the trick 😋
I’ll have the asparagus and pancetta too please.

I remember taking panadol night a few years back which completely knocked me out for the night Grin

Rainb0w · 18/03/2020 10:13

Any chance of a top up of that lovely coffee?

sashh · 18/03/2020 10:26

The coffee pot is permanently being refilled, I'm thinking I might need to make the cafe 24/7.

If anyone is self isolating at least they can pop in for a virtual break.

OK after yesterday's indulgence I'm doing healthy(ish) breakfasts today.

Fruit, fruit juices, water - still, sparkling and with fruit. Various granary breads and breads with nuts and seeds. Yogurt, muesli - the proper way with yoghurt, porridge.

Obviously tea, coffee and hot chocolate are brewing as I type.

Can you make eggy bread? In need of comfort food?

PawPawNoodle · 19/03/2020 03:47

^takes a seat in a grubby plastic chair bolted to the floor*

I'll have a filter coffee if it's still hot, cold milk, no sugar (trying to be good). Can you come back for my food order in a few minutes please lovely?

sashh · 19/03/2020 03:54

OK I'll add eggs to the menu, someone always asks. Do you want American style French toast with sugar and cinnamon or just egg and a bit of salt and pepper?

@Pol There are no grubby plastic chairs in my cafe, I think you wave wandered into a job centre

OP posts:
Thepigeonsarecoming · 19/03/2020 03:54

a bit worried about the grubby chair, leaves without eggy bread

sashh · 19/03/2020 04:01

@Thepig

Nooo, look nice rustic benches with cushions, a couple of wing backed chairs by the fire.
