Should I reopen the happy place cafe?

I'm often awake in the night, today was a lie in for me, only properly awake since 4am.

In lockdown I opened, 'the happy place café where I would make virtual breakfasts and people would come to chat.

When it was last opened my French pastry chef Florence had married Fernando the cocktail waiter.

The kitten bees are inside because it is too old but the bumble cats are in the garden as usual.

SO should I reopen or was just something for lockdown?

Morning!
Do you have any American pancakes and waffles left? They sound delicious, especially if calorie free 👍🏻
I'll have it with a thick vanilla milkshake with it please. I'll just be snuggled in that cosy corner chair under the blanket
Thanks

Morning.

I see the steak went down well so in a departure from breakfast I've put the BB out and will be cooking steak, burgers, sausages, chicken.

Florence has a good selection of pastries if it is too heavy for morning food and Fernando has a selection of beers.

@alienslove Sorry I missed you, no pancakes left but Florence is making a new stack for you.

Morning.

It looks quiet in here so I'll just stick the coffee on, help yourselves to pastries and I'll cook to order, obviously order drinks from Fernando.

Do you have any cinnamon swirls. Failing that a pecan twist. Thanks. Latte for me please, Fernando, decaf. Of course.

sashh · 29/03/2023 02:52

One cinnamon swirl on the way, I'll send the kitten bees to bring it to you, you don't mind a few nibbles out of it do you?

ScottBakula · 29/03/2023 13:24

Sneaks in late and grabs a cinnamon swirl and coffee.

sashh · 30/03/2023 02:47

@ScottBakula No need to sneak, the door is always open.

Morning everyone, as people seem to be arriving at odd times I'm going to lay on a buffet, starting with fruit, cheese, bread, various hams a nd then later I'll add more lunch time goodies.

Morning all.

I slept in this morning, hurrah.

I'll put the coffee on, Florence has made cupcakes, unusual for breakfast but they certainly go well with coffee. Fernando is experimenting with mate cocktails, I'm not sure how that will go.

Sweetpea1532 · 31/03/2023 06:29

@ScottBakula
Ooooh, those chutneys look good. May I try them, please?

@sashh I'd love a cupcake this morning, too. It's always a good time for cupcakes🧁

ScottBakula · 31/03/2023 19:32

Go for it @Sweetpea1532 , the ginger one is very thick more of a paste and it's got a firey kick , o

ScottBakula · 31/03/2023 19:34

Oooh cupcakes thank you @sashh & Florence, can I have a chocolate one with vanilla butter cream .

sashh · 01/04/2023 04:27

Morning.

It seems I am not the only one who likes cake for breakfast, so Florence has made a black forest gateaux.

I'll lay out the ham and cheese, fruit, yoghurt to help yourselves and Fernando has buckx fizz, just because I feel like that today.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 01/04/2023 05:04

Yum. I bet Black Forest gateaux goes really well with coffee.

I’m going to attempt to play with the bumble cats. They’ve not had much attention recently.

sashh · 02/04/2023 01:05

Morning all.

@MinnieMountain how did you get on with the bumble cats?

I'm going to do a full English today, well it is Sunday.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 02/04/2023 01:16

Ahhh black forest and single cream please Mmmmmm

ScottBakula · 02/04/2023 01:18

Hand shoots up ! Me please.
With hash browns and black pudding please

sashh · 02/04/2023 01:53

Er you don't want them on the same plate do you?

OP posts:
alienslove · 02/04/2023 02:31

Ooo cake for breakfast! Yes please!
I'll take a slice of black forest gateaux if there's any left? Might have some scrambled egg on toast first...
Yummy thanks

sashh · 02/04/2023 03:13

Oh I saw a new scrambled eggs recipe, you don't mix the eggs in a bowl first, you break the eggs into a frying pan and then you scramble the white of the egg leaving the yolks until the whites have scrambled and then you break the yolks so the warm yolk coats the white.

MinnieMountain · 02/04/2023 06:07

Morning all
I'll be back for a full English once I’ve been to the lido (😁).
The bumble cats headbutted me a lot. I can’t work out if they wanted a stroke or were attacking me…

sashh · 02/04/2023 06:52

Yeah the bumble cats can be quite thugish, I meant he kittenbees will nibble on food if I have them deliver, the bumble cats will just fly off and stuff their faces.
