Morning
A hot toddy please. I don’t think I’ve ever had one.

MinnieMountain · 10/10/2023 04:45

I should probably have a baguette with honey to soak it up.

sashh · 10/10/2023 07:08

One hot toddy and a baguette on its way. Please watch out for kittenbees.

I would love a hot toddy but I am at work so I'd better stick to coffee for now.
Can I have a baguette with cream cheese and cucumber as well please.

sashh · 11/10/2023 01:53

Morning.

Today I'm doing eggs, boiled, poached, scrambled, convent, baked, boiled and deep fried.

Florence is making a range of breads to go with the eggs and Fernando is making champagne cocktails.

Please can I have a couple of poached eggs on granary bread .

sashh · 12/10/2023 03:07

Morning all.

I'm still not 100% so I'm making a range of teas, early grey, green, white leaved tea and some herbal infusions.

Florence is making biscuits and crackers to soak up the tea and Fernando has a range of spirits to add a drop to your tea.

Some crackers would be lovely, along with tea! Have been up for ages as DD isn't sleeping well. We are also moving in the morning...

sashh · 12/10/2023 08:10

Crackers and tea on the way, I hope the move goes well.

Morning all.

Well it is almost the weekend so I feel a nice relaxing breakfast buffet.

Help yourselves to cereal, fruit juice, various fruits, bread rolls (Florence has done some with poppy seeds and some with ginger) butter, james, marmalade and of course tea and coffee.

Fernando is making cocktails with fruit juice and champagne.

No bacon butties?

MinnieMountain · 13/10/2023 05:51

Morning all
I'll help myself to a ginger roll and coffee.
It’s definitely a comfy chair and blanket day.

sashh · 14/10/2023 04:08

Morning.

Well it is the weekend so for any late starters I think I'll do a brunch.

Bagels, rye bread, brown and white toast, jaffles.

Various pancakes, sweet and savory with fruit, honey, maple syrup, bacon.

Eggs, fried, oiled, poached, convent and scrambled.

Florence is making madeleines and Fernando is making bucks fizz.
@Tilly and just for you bacon butties.

Morning
I’m going to have coffee and throw the light ball around outside for the bumblecats for a bit.
Blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple syrup will be a delicious treat later.

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 14/10/2023 08:57

Morning! It's a lovely day here today. I'm going to wrap up and sit in the garden with the bumblecats. What are convent eggs?
Pancakes sound lovely. I'd like banana pancakes like the ones I used to get from a from a Thai run diner in San Francisco, do you think Florence could make them? The bananas are dropped into the batter and they go all caramelized.
Are you feeling better now @sashh ? I hope so.

sashh · 14/10/2023 09:32

Convent eggs are baked with cream in the oven, you can add other things like truffle.

I'm getting better but slowly.

OP posts:
fivetriangulartrees · 15/10/2023 03:13

Good morning! Please could I have a big stack of pancakes with whatever toppings Florence recommends? The Thai caramelised banana suggestion sounds great. And maybe I'll have two cups of tea at the same time. It's that kind of day, I think.

I usually can't sleep because DP is snoring, but now I can't sleep because I'm worried about DP who is in hospital. Also wondering who is pacing up and down past my hotel room repeatedly at 3am. Think I will treat myself to a real life stack of pancakes in the morning.

sashh · 15/10/2023 04:07

Morning.

@fivetriangulartrees I hope you DH is OK and you get some sleep.

I'll keep the pancakes on the menu today, both american and UK style with fruit and syrup.

I'm also going to stuff some with cheese and mushrooms and bake until they are crispy.

Florence is making blinis to keep with the theme and Fernando has some pomegranate liqueur he is experimenting with.

OP posts:
fivetriangulartrees · 15/10/2023 04:21

I've never tried a pomegranate liqueur, but pomegranate juice is such a strong flavour it almost tastes alcoholic on its own. I'll see what Fernando comes up with an give it a go.

sashh · 16/10/2023 02:56

Morning. had abit of a relapse yesterday so I'm sitting in the garden under a heated throw.

Florence is making scones, fruit and lane with cream and jam. Fernando is making Brandy Alexanders.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 17/10/2023 03:35

You are having a tough time @sashh ,i really hope uou get better soon.

It's been cold here the past few mornings so I think I will will make a pan of porridge to share.

sashh · 17/10/2023 04:05

Morning.

Thank you @ScottBakula You are right I'm not doing well, one thing after another. I'll just have some of your porridge.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 17/10/2023 05:13

Morning
Sorry to see you’re still not well @sashh . I appreciate you still opening the cafe.
I’ll put the coffee pot on and help myself to @ScottBakula ’s porridge with brown sugar on.

sashh · 18/10/2023 00:48

Morning.

Still struggling so Florence is in charge of making cakes, who knows what she will make with a free hand.

Fernando is making honey and lemon cocktails in the hope my sinuses clear.

I'm wrapping up and sitting ni a corner.

Can someone let the kittenbees out but keep them away from Fernando.

OP posts:
Tilllly · 18/10/2023 04:05

Morning, I've arrived
Am feeding the birds and wrapping up in a blanket with a coffee
