...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.

Thanks @Frownette I need it because I understand the maths, but I have to get a thing called 'maxima' to work, and I don't get on with it.

Morning!
Where's the kettle? I'll do a few brews for people.

PinkDaydreams · 07/05/2020 11:28

Hello all! I’ll gladly help hand out some brunch pastries and dreamies Grin

NoGravyForYou · 07/05/2020 12:57

Hi everyone, I made some brownies, I'll just leave a plate on the counter. If only someone could come and eat them IRL so my jeans won't keep getting tighter 😛

sashh · 08/05/2020 07:13

Morning all.

Wow you have kept this place clean and tidy.

I read the thread on schools in the 1970s so I tought we would go retro for breakfast.

Check out the 'breakfast sets' with little bowls and curved knives for graperuit, stainless steel toast rack and 'preserves' dish.

I have the brown sugar to sprinkle and grill on the grape fruit, abviously Florence has made black forest gataux.

ow! I squirted grapefruit in my eye!

BooseysMom · 08/05/2020 11:11

Morning @sashh..wow! I am well impressed! Takes me back to my childhood! Grin

Grapefruit squirted in my eyes would be an improvement on my vision atm! My hay fever is raging and i never get it this bad.

sashh · 08/05/2020 13:10

70s breakfast were the worst, I'm sure. I don't believe nayone actually likes grapefruit, and that powder that was suposed to make orange juice !

And yet some great puddings, Lemon Merangue (Florence can check the spelling) pie was my favorite.

OP posts:
OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/05/2020 14:38

70s food.
ugh.
I remember going out as a kid to my first 'posh restaurant'. Starter was a choice of a glass of orange juice, melon boat or consommé.

I liked angel delight though.

sashh · 09/05/2020 05:37

Morning all. Just to differenciate the weekend I'm thinking brunch rather than breakfast. Any suggestions?

OP posts:

Morning Sashh , haven't had a Welsh rarebit for ages, do you think that's worth a try?

sashh · 09/05/2020 06:58

You do want the traditional one with ale don't you?

OP posts:
OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/05/2020 07:11

Morning!
Brunch sounds good, not sure what I fancy yet, so I'll drink a bucket of tea while I contemplate it.

sashh · 09/05/2020 08:17

@OhYouBadBadKitten

How about smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel?

OP posts:
whatever45 · 09/05/2020 16:22

Was looking up recipes and they all have ale in, don't remember that from when I last made it but yours was delicious thank you

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/05/2020 23:10

Perfect! Though I think I may need it as supper now! Grin

bum. I forgot about real life sunday brunch.

sashh · 10/05/2020 06:04

Morning all.

I think it is about time we had pancakes, thin crapes, big fat american style, scotch and of couurse a selection of fruit, cheeses, and various other toppings.

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 10/05/2020 09:26

Morning @sashh ! Hope you’re well? I will participate in a pancake or two please?! Maybe have a flipping competition, add a bit of fun to a Sunday morning 🥞 winner makes the tea Grin

sashh · 10/05/2020 11:52
