Morning.

I'm in the mood for pancakes. Thin, crispy pancakes with a variety of fillings, garlic mushrooms, bacon and cheese, plain with sugar sprinkled on with some lemon juice.

And to go with them I think Fernando can make slightly spicy alcoholic hot chocolate.

May I have a savoury one please? I'm of for hot chocolate as had too much wine last night. Awake since 5 and expecting some bad news this morning so a comforting breakfast and MN support is appreciated

sashh · 05/11/2023 08:37

One savory pancake and fingers crossed the news isn't bad.

Morning.

IRL in a lot of pain today so I'm leaving Florence to make pastries and Fernando to pour vodka into a variety of fruit syrups.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 06/11/2023 09:59

So sorry to hear you are suffering again @sashh .
I wish there was something I could do for you irl.

I have just dropped my cat off at the vets to be netured so he won't be happy later !

I think I will have a couple of Florence's pastires and a coffee and sit outside and watch the bumble cats.

sashh · 07/11/2023 03:34

Morning.

IRL I had an appointment with the HCA and my BP was 184/90 so I'm happy about that. Still in pain, still tired but a full English breakfast is overdue.

So choice of bacon, sausages (lincolnshire and cumberland) eggs of various types, potato cakes, black pudding, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms with orange juice on the side.

Florence is making coffee cakes for elevenses and Fernando is making green tea cocktails.

Morning.

Well it is cold and wet here so I'm just making hot drinks and serving Florence's cakes.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 09/11/2023 10:06

It's cold and wet here too , winter is creeping up at a gallop !

Please can I have a Chelsea bun and a large coffee.

sashh · 10/11/2023 04:31

Morning.

More cold, wet and windy so, porridge!

Porridge with salt or syrup or fruit.

Bergoo and congee.

Any other recipe you can find.

Florence is making lemon and treacle buns and Fernando is making fruity cocktails.

I'll make tomato soup for anyone that needs a pack up.

Please don't let the kittenbees out.

I've brought the petting zoo inside but you can still visit.

You any better @sashh ?

@Kittycat43 - how are you after your news?

I bought a plug in thing from boots to aid breathing and sleep. Lavender and eucalyptus. Stank so much I couldn't sleep...

sashh · 10/11/2023 04:50

@Tilllly

Thanks for asking, I keep thinking I'm getting better and then spiral down. A few people have the same.

I had a fall a couple of weeks ago, I actually landed on my elbow, surprisingly there was no bruising but my upper arm was hurting and I couldn't lift that arm very high.

It was gradually mending and then I think I have pulled something and I'm back to square one. Well not quite, square two.

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 10/11/2023 05:18

Sorry to hear you're not well @sashh would you like a sleepy baby to snuggle?
I'm up with period pains tonight, it's lovely to remember there's this cafe to come to. A lemon and treacle bun and a hot chocolate from Florence would hit the spot I think.

Tilllly · 10/11/2023 07:58

Square 3 tomorrow I hope @sashh

sashh · 10/11/2023 09:18

@Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket I'll take the baby but I need to exchange it for a cat.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 11/11/2023 01:13

Hand the cat this way @sashh , my cat is been his usual grouchy self and doesn't want a cuddle.

The reference to squares made me remember a quote from someone ( I can't recall who )

May all your loved ones land on ladders and your enemies land on snakes .
I hope you land on more ladders Sashh .

Please can we have some Indian sides / snacks .
I had a curry earlier but didn't have any paratha, nan or podiums so I am still hungry.

ScottBakula · 11/11/2023 03:50

@sweetpea1532 , do you fancy popping back in for a coffee

Sweetpea1532 · 11/11/2023 04:50

Oh, yes, thank you@ScottBakula ..just what I need right now.
I fancy a black currant scone if there are any available, too...and are they heart shaped?..with a bit of raspberry jam and cream, of course😋

Sweetpea1532 · 11/11/2023 04:57

@ScottBakula How is Mr.Kitty after his vet visit? May I have a cuddle with him whilst I enjoy my coffee? 😻

sashh · 11/11/2023 05:05

Morning.

Indian snacks? Not a problem. I'll start frying onion bhajis and samosas straight away.

Florence will get on with paratha, aloo and gobi, masala scrambled egg, yoghurt and pickles on the side.

Federico will make some chai with a little bit of a kick.

When Florence has finished the Indian food she's make scones with various fruits and in various shapes.

OP posts:
sashh · 12/11/2023 04:39

Morning.

I feel a simple Dutch / German breakfast.

A soft boiled egg, a selection of hams and cheeses and some crust bread with butter.

Florence is making cakes for later and Fernando is making speciality coffees.

OP posts:
Tilllly · 12/11/2023 05:32

Can you have that brought to my bed?
One of the cats is asleep on me so obviously can't be disturbed

sashh · 12/11/2023 08:07

@Tilllly no problem I'll bring a tray.

OP posts:
Tilllly · 12/11/2023 16:45

Bless you!

ScottBakula · 12/11/2023 19:32

Thank you for the delightful Indian snack @sashh .
Please can I have a couple of soft build eggs with some thick cut 'soliders' of ham to dip in the eggs.
