@sashh can you ask Fernando to mix different spirtes and liquors into the chocolate sauce for the treats Florence is making.
I think , tia Maria, orange liquor ( cant rememberthe name ), archer's, spiced rum, etc would go down well

ScottBakula · 06/03/2024 12:53

Um please dont get him to mix sprites in the chocolate. That's bound to cause problems.
Try spirts instead 🤔

Morning

I'll put the coffee on.

Tilllly · 07/03/2024 04:34

Ooh lovely @MinnieMountain

I've slept 4 hours straight and waking to the smell of coffee was perfect

You legend ⭐️

This has been the last few nights - no wonder I'm tired!

I'm fancying sausage and tinned tomatoes in pitta

You’re welcome @Tilllly . I managed to nod off. I’ll join you in the sausages, but I’m not a fan of tinned tomatoes for breakfast.

And ouch! No wonder you’re knackered.

sashh · 07/03/2024 06:25

Morning.

I will ask Fernando to mix spirits but not sprites or spirts.

Lovely to arrive and coffee already be on.

Lets have a citrus breakfast. Orange and grapefruit juices to drink. Florence is busy Lemon and lemon drizzle cake. Orange and almond cupcakes and of course there is marmalade to go on toast.

Yum. A nice big piece of lemon drizzle cake please @sashh .

Tilllly · 07/03/2024 06:38

Same as Minnie please, that's my very favourite cake!

MinnieMountain · 07/03/2024 08:09

It’s DS’s as well @Tilllly . It makes his birthday cake easy 😁

sashh · 07/03/2024 08:40

How long has the cafe been open? I'm only now finding out everyone's favorite is lemon drizzle cake.

I'm not very good at baking, but I'd have a go at making a lemon drizzle cake, if you have a simple recipe?

Tbh most cake is my favourite @sashh (not coffee or walnut), it’s just lemon is the absolute best.

I use Mary Berry’s standard recipe @Tilllly .

TopOfTheCliff · 07/03/2024 10:45

When I first met DH I offered to bake a lemon drizzle cake. His previous GF got wind of this and decided she would do the same. We had a LDC war and I won! Still his favourite (as am I!)

laughinglovingliving · 08/03/2024 01:27

Morning,

Please may I have tea. Seem to hVe lost my appetite which is weird. DS4 currently snuggled against me.
@Tilllly I have been thinking of you, have you made it home yet? I
Hope you have some cuddles with daisy and your family 😘

Morning.

OK lets have a 'get @Tilllly home' breakfast.

Florence is on to the lemon drizzle cake and some 'cakes' containing something she swears is good for nausea and appetite. I think it is ginger but she's being a little secretive.

I'll put out a buffer for everyone to pick from, so hams, salad, cheese, pork pies, scotch eggs, pickles and crusty bread.

I'll put a couple of sausages and ham in Daisy's bowl.

Fernando is making ginger beer cocktails.

Don't forget Fleur and Bonnie Sprinkle, they love sausages!!
I'll have a huge stack of American pancakes with maple syrup and crispy bacon please and a large latte!

😘😘😘

MinnieMountain · 08/03/2024 03:44

Lemon drizzle 2 days in a row? Don’t mind if I do.

The ginger beer cocktails sound intriguing.

Tilllly · 08/03/2024 05:14

Argh! Sorry, I thought I'd said I'm back in my own bed, hence the 4 hours in a row sleep

Two nights running now!

Pain is better controlled, not 100% but manageable
Cancer is not controlled, rampaging thru my bones now - it fractured my rib!! I said it hurt!!! so chemo is stopping and I go on to some new fangled tablet that will buy me some more time

Is there some coleslaw on the buffet? I love coleslaw

sashh · 08/03/2024 05:50

@Tilllly There is coleslaw, cheese coleslaw and potato salad.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 08/03/2024 05:57

Don’t apologise @Tilllly . You got us extra lemon drizzle.

Sorry about the rampaging. That’s shit.

Tilllly · 08/03/2024 06:18

Oooh potato salad too

Is it that extra special one that I'm allowed to have?
