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.

I have a busy day ahead, I have to complete my last maths assignment IRL so I'm leaving you to your own devices, just ask F and F for anything you want.

Well I handed something in, I did miss out a complete question but I'm almost back on track.

So in celebration of me handing in Champagne or bucks fizz, smoked salmon and scrambled egg and mini bagels.

Morning @sashh .
There’s a child in my bed, so I’ve escaped here.
Champagne is my favourite thing. I’d better have a bagel with scrambled eggs to mop it up please.

Welcome Minne.

My grandmother used to say you should drink champagne when you are down not when you are happy, she said it cheers you up.

The day she died I sat with a friend and drank champagne and talked about her.

Morning.

Well Florence has been making Scandinavian pastries overnight, chocolate swirls, raspberry swirls, apple tart with marzipan, so I'd better make some Scandinavian breakfast items to go with them.

So some rybread to make open sandwiches with cucumber, cheese and ham.

So simple I'll make a hearty soup with pasta for pack up.

Morning.

I feel the urge to be in Vietnam so lets start with Bánh mì,
Xôi, Bún chả giò,Bánh cuốn and Cơm tấm.

Basically a lot of noodles, minced pork, vegetables and some rice.

Fernando is experimenting with cane sugar cane cocktails, please be careful around the kittenbees.

It's my 40th today and I am up with a defiant 3 year-old. Any chance of French style strong, black coffee with a smoked salmon bagel? Vietnamese sounds tempting, though....

Thank you @sashh , it smells wonderful. I am going to snuggle up under a blanket outside and listen to the fecking dogs up the road barking
wonderful birds singing and enjoy my breakfast

ScottBakula · 30/04/2023 02:49

Good morning all, is anybody awake and hungry ? Florence is baking bread it smells great.
I think I will have roast ham sandwich with English Mustard

Flubadubba · 30/04/2023 04:15

Any sourdough on the go? Eggs benedict kmon sourdough with a large apple juice sounds perfect.

ScottBakula · 30/04/2023 05:16

I am sure Florence will have some freshly baked sour dough loaves on the go. And @sashh can work magic with eggs .
