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?

Give my regards to Florence. Best breakfast yet.

HappyasLarrynot · 01/05/2023 00:55

Morning/evening (whichever way you look at it!). I don’t suppose Florence would be able to whip up some sort of healthy cold busting smoothie would she (please!). Sick of having no sleep so need something to beat the germs 😳 Thank you!

sashh · 01/05/2023 02:42

Morning

@HappyasLarrynot Not a problem I can do fruit based breakfast so smoothies, juices, pancakes with berries and fresh melon slices.

Morning, please can I have some of @HappyasLarrynots cold busting smoothie . , I am sick of this head cold.

My tastebuds are shot to bits so I need something strong tasting for breakfast, any chance of some kedgeree?

sashh · 02/05/2023 02:04

Morning.

@ScottBakula Kedgeree will be 10 - 15 mins, I'm also doing kippers and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.

Obviously Florence has made pastries and Fernando is working on a cold busting cocktail.

Thank you @sashh , very nice indeed .

I may indulge in a cocktail this evening after work

sashh · 03/05/2023 04:52

Morning.

I thought we would head for Korea for breakfast so eggs scrambled with kimchi, sweet potato latte, fried rice and more kimchi.

Florence is making choco pie and red bean buns, Fernando is making Yogurt Soju Cocktails.

Morning @sashh .
It’s a beautiful day to play with the kitten bees in the garden.
Toast and honey for me please.

GoodVibesHere · 05/05/2023 06:01

Good morning.

Do you have any hot chocolate? I could do with something comforting. Perhaps an indulgent pastry too.

GoodVibesHere · 05/05/2023 06:06

Oh wait I've just seen your menu. So I'll have tea with toast and jam please.

I just feel so very tired, it would be lovely to have it brought to me.

sashh · 05/05/2023 06:15

I'll bring the drinks and toast in to the garden. It is warm but there are heaters if you need them.

OP posts:
GoodVibesHere · 05/05/2023 06:32

Ah that sounds good, I will bring a soft blanket to wrap up in

Flubadubba · 05/05/2023 06:40

Is it too late for a good brew?

ScottBakula · 05/05/2023 07:18

@ScottBakula Happy Birthday, Florence has made you a cake to take with you and I've made a bento with rice, salmon, pickles, raspberries a small salad and some olives - enjoy.

Morning @sashh I hope you’re feeling better today.
I’m going to see what Florence has been baking (hopefully apricot pastries) and settle down under a blanket with my coffee.

sashh · 07/05/2023 05:31

You must be psychic, apricot pastries indeed, and some almond swirls.

I am feeling better so I think I start on a full English today.
