Morning.

<notices @Tilllly asleep on the sofa>

OK I'll whisper. I need to make a quiet breakfast so I'll just put out breads baked by Florence, ham, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. Obviously tea and coffee and Fernando has some Yorkshire whisky.

Baked cheesy bread and a coffee for me please

Tilllly · 08/02/2024 03:53

<<<yawns>>> 🥱

Can someone bring me a selection over please? (Said in pathetic poorly voice)

ScottBakula · 08/02/2024 04:35

Morning all,
@Tilllly would you like a eggy mug ? ( 2 or 3 soft boiled eggs mashed with warm butter and pepper and eaten in bed with a spoon )
It was 'medicine ' when I was a kid which was given to anyone that was ill no matter what was wrong with you.
Grazed knee ? Eggy mug , bad cold ? Eggy mug , leg hanging off ? Eggy mug.

It was almost always backed up with a hefty glug of Venos cough medicine and a liberal coating of Vick on our chest and back.

@sashh please can I have a ham and cheese toastie.

sashh · 08/02/2024 05:02

@Tilllly I'll get the kittenbees to fly a selection to you.

Toastie and cheesy bread on the way

That eggy mug does not sound nice!
Our invalid food was banana sandwiches- probably quite nutritious

ScottBakula · 08/02/2024 06:24

I don't like bananas at all.
Each to their own eh .

Thanks for the toasty @sashh

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 08/02/2024 21:12

Ooh I'll have loads of different types of bread, cheddar cheese, manchego, some cheese I don't know the name of, a hardboiled egg, a bit of Spanish tortilla, some ham, mixed berries, greek yogurt, honey, 6 gallons of coffee and yeah, might as well have some whiskey.

Good evening. I’m recovering well from my hip replacement here but reliant on DH to feed me. I don’t want to hurt his feelings but our ready meal diet is currently rather meat based and vegetable light. Could you sneak me a Buddha bowl of fresh raw vegetables? And some smoothies? I’m craving vitamin C.

sashh · 09/02/2024 04:00

Morning.

@TopOfTheCliff I'll send over a selection of side dishes, roast green beans, side salad, carrot and swede mash, cauliflower cheese and maybe some parsnips in honey - he can just put them in the microwave along with your ready meal.

IRL my local council offer meals on wheels to anyone who wants them, ideal for after an op.

For breakfast I think we need some fruit juices, mango, orange, carrot (yes I know it isn't a fruit) and grapefruit.

Fernando can add a bit of vodka to any of them.

Florence has made some lovely apple flan.

So to balance all the fruit sugar lets have a bit of fat, so eggs however you want them, bubble and squeak cooked in butter and some Greek style yoghurt.

The goats will have stolen those veg before they get to Top

Apple flan please. I’ve realised that fruit and carbs is my favourite breakfast.

Can you ask your DH to buy some fruit at least @TopOfTheCliff ?

sashh · 09/02/2024 07:13

Stop blaming the goats!

Apple flan is not a problem, on its way.

Don’t lemurs love fruit too?

MinnieMountain · 09/02/2024 08:44

Sorry @Tilllly but I love goats. I’ll also happily eat them 😁

Tilllly · 09/02/2024 08:54

I do not love goats

But I wouldn't eat one!

I'm telling them you're a goativore

TopOfTheCliff · 09/02/2024 11:25

@MinnieMountain the shopping is under my control DH just heats it up and serves it (and leaves piles of washing up for well meaning visitors to do - sneaky!) So I will add lots of fruit salad and mixed veg bowls for next week.
The goats tried to nick the fruit but I beat them back with my crutches and only lost a bit of swede mash to the biggest one with the black and white beard.
Do the goats have names?

MinnieMountain · 09/02/2024 12:38

I’m sure the goats will understand my being an omnivore. I mainly have the pastries at the cafe because Florence is such an excellent pastry chef.

@OldTinHat why is there a lemur riding a goat in the petting zoo? I told you he is your responsibility.

I'm in the mood for fish so smoked salmon with scrambled egg, kippers and kedgeree.

Florence is making iced buns and Fernando is bucks fizz.
