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.

ell it looks like a quiet day again.

F and F have created something pasty with chocolate liqueurs inside - odd but delicious.

I'll just put out some fruit, ham and cheese and let the kittenbees into the garden.

Not popped in for ages apologies... the pastries sound good with some hot chocolate (with cream and marshmallows!!) I'll pop myself outside with a nice blanket and watch the kitten bees 🥰

ScottBakula · 09/05/2023 09:24

Pasty , chocolate and alcohol what's not to love. Please can I have one with rum in .

👋@alienslove I will see you outside in a bit . Mind that cheeky kitten bee it will nibble your marshmallows

Morning.

There is a picture doing the rounds that is really good. I considered telling them it was my idea and I have the posts on MN to prove it, but it looked like a student making some extra cash to I didn't bother.

OK as everything is calorie free in here I'm just going to set up a load of pastries, cakes, pancakes, chocolate cake etc etc and Fernando can go mad making crazy cocktails.

Pancakes with lemon and sugar for me please. And a bellini.
It’s beautiful in the garden.

sashh · 10/05/2023 07:48

Pancakes you say? Nice thin English ones or the thick American ones? Oh what the hell I'll make both.

That kittenbee is incredibly cute!! I'll watch out for my marshmallows though!
It's a beautiful morning ☀️

ScottBakula · 10/05/2023 07:59

Aww that one is much cuter that the one I found.
I wonder if the artist is on mn or perhaps someone was trying to explain a kitten bee to her like I was to my friend that sent me that link.
I would be very tempted to send her a link to the original creating a kitten bee thread with a note saying something like "great minds think alike" .

Anywaaaaay back to the food , please can I have some English style pancakes, with lemon and sugar and a coffee please

ScottBakula · 10/05/2023 19:12

I am just going to leave this here to tempt @Sweetpea1532 back into the cafe .
( everyone else can help themselves too )

Should I reopen the happy place cafe?
alienslove · 11/05/2023 01:32

Ooo pancakes, a nice stack of pancakes with ice cream and chocolate sauce please and maybe some strawberries and raspberries to go on top...
Delicious
Thanks

sashh · 11/05/2023 04:08

Morning, well the pancakes are going down well so I'll keep making them but for anyone wanting something savory I'll do Japanese rolled omelets.

It's getting near summer so Fernando is pouring Pimm's over fruit and Florence is making summer pudding.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 12/05/2023 00:46

I notice there is some batter left so I am going to make some more pancakes.

Mmmm summer pudding it has to be Eton mess please

sashh · 12/05/2023 03:29

Morning.

This is turning into a pancake house. OK pancakes are now a permanent fixture, but I'm going to do sausages for a savory, pork, chicken, Lincolnshire, Cumberland, bratwurst all served with beans or sauerkraut.

OP posts:
alienslove · 12/05/2023 06:26

A pancake house! I feel like I'm living the dream! Oooo I might go savoury then with sausages and beans please 😋

sashh · 12/05/2023 07:02

Sausages and beans on the way. Do you want BBQ sauce?

fivetriangulartrees · 13/05/2023 03:32

Morning! Looks like I'm first in today. Haven't been in for a little while. I'm not sure what I fancy... I don't think it's sausages or pancakes... Are you still doing chocolate cake? And a mug of tea please.

AliceOlive · 13/05/2023 05:02

I’m on the hunt for veggie “sausages”. Any chance?

sashh · 13/05/2023 05:57

Cake? Tea? Veggi sausages? Yep I'll get on to that now.

sashh · 14/05/2023 05:20

Morning.

Well I stayed up watching Eurovision last night so I'm going to relax in a comfy chair and watch F and F run things, Florence has been baking over night so cakes, croissants and pastries are all available.
