Oooh, thank you!

Awake with covid crappiness. Am I too late for breakfast?

sashh · 21/08/2023 06:33

@whiffyhouse it is never too late for breakfast in the cafe.

Anyone in early? Insomnia strikes.

Think I'll sit outside with a hot chocolate and brioche to dip into it, watching the kitten bees play.

sashh · 22/08/2023 04:59

Morning.

Sorry I wasn't here @Mummaluma but I see you have sorted yourself out.

I'm thinking a Punjabi breakfast is in order this morning so various parantha (potato, cauliflower and spinich), puris dhosas and of course indian tea with cardamon.

Florence is experimenting with jelabis and Fernando is using Indian whisky to make cocktails.

Ooh a potato paratha and a masala chai would be lovely. Extra sweet please.
I hope everyone in the cafe is ok xxx

sashh · 23/08/2023 02:30

Morning.

Well there is a lot of Punjabi food left over so I'm going to warm the breads and make a bubble and squeak from the left over vegis.

Florence is making croisants and Fernando is chai cocktails.

Morning
Coffee and a croissant please.
May I have a pack up of some Punjabi food for work please?
I’m going to enjoy the soothing sound of the fountain.

sashh · 23/08/2023 05:43

@MinnieMountain no problem I'll even put it in a tiffin for you. Chickpea curry, with dhosa and jelabis to finish.

Good morning! Hope everyone is having an ok day so far. I'd love some tea and bubble and squeak, if there's any going.

sashh · 23/08/2023 06:07

@StopStartStop No problem would you like a friued egg on the side of the bubble and sueak?

OP posts:
StopStartStop · 23/08/2023 06:18

Yes, that would be lovely! Thank you.

sashh · 23/08/2023 08:00

Bubble and squak with a fried egg on its way.

Good morning all, what's on today's menu @sashh ?
Can I start with a coffee , I am going to go and have a doze over there with the bubble cats

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 24/08/2023 03:46

Good morning, or good evening since I haven’t slept yet. I’ll skip coffee as I’m hoping to get some sleep, but I wouldn’t mind some musli that my Swiss friend used to make. I can’t remember it exactly but there were oats, yogurt and grated apple as a base. Perhaps Florence could work her magic and make it just right?

sashh · 24/08/2023 06:28

Morning.

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar Musli is not a problem. I know it should be mixed with yoghurt not eten like cereal, I'll put out some ham and cheese to go with it.

Florence is making Bündner Nusstorte AKA a Swiss walnut cake and Fernando is making nutty cocktails to go with it.

@ScottBakula I'll pop some cake next to you for when you wake up.

ScottBakula · 24/08/2023 21:40

Thank you @sashh , there seems to be some little nibble marks on my cake , who knew bumble cats like walnuts . I don't mind sharing tho

sashh · 25/08/2023 04:12

Morning.

@ScottBakula sorry about the Bumble cats.

OK for breakfast today I think we will head to Uruguay.

Café con leche, bizcochos and sandwich caliente are the staples but Florence is adding some French pastries and Fernando is making a mate cocktail.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 25/08/2023 18:31

Its ok , they are cute enough to get away with it 😀

The urguray food sounds intriguing but I am feeling a little rough , please can I just have some marmite on toast and coffee

sashh · 26/08/2023 00:22

Morning.

Toast and marmite for you @ScottBakula in fact I'll make a range of toasted breads today, Florence can make the more exotic breads and Fernando can try to make cocktails with things that go on toast, so jam, marmalade, not sure about the marmite.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 26/08/2023 00:45

Thank you @sashh , that's just what I needed.

A cocktail that works is a table spoon of Duerrs thick cut Marmalade added to a bottle of Jamesons , this is left to stand for a few days then served neat over ice with a thin peel of orange .

The Marmalade shred at the bottom of the bottle is the landlords perk or can be added to fruit cake or icecream

I love all things marmite but I think your right a cocktail may be pushing it a bit far !

sashh · 26/08/2023 03:24

Not sure I could add marmalade to whiskey.

OP posts:
sashh · 27/08/2023 03:53

Morning.

Well I think a trip to Batley is in order. Not just to Batly but to Foxes biscuits so I'm basing breakfast on tea and biscuits,

Florence is making bagettes with a choice of fillings if you want something more substantial, Fernando is basing the cocktails on biscuits so ginger, chocolate and custard.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 27/08/2023 04:09

Morning @sashh .
Fruit tea and a chocolate hobnob please. I’m not a proper tea drinker.
Any chance of a coffee as well please?

sashh · 27/08/2023 04:52

Coffee is always available in this cafe.

When my carer comes round I often tell him what's going on in the cafe, he thinks the bumblecats get a raw deal.

So I had a T shirt printed for him.
