@PeopleAreWeird nothing counts in the cafe, so indulge. I can’t actually eat eggs first thing.

sashh · 05/04/2024 02:16

Morning.

Well it's an early start for me so I think we need some spice.

Puris and chapatis with salted yoghurt and mango chutney.

Dosa, spiced scrambled egg, Idil and onion bhajis.

Florence is making apricot pastries and Fernando is making a lasi based cocktail.

Hello everyone.
Just checking in so I can give you all a bit of a laugh, because if you don't laugh you cry!
I made it to the UK.

We did but it was a journey from hell. Plane and everything was okay. Then we got a little bus to the car hire place, DS6&4 went off to the men’s toilets to put their pjs on and when they had been ages, I went in. DS6 was sobbing saying he’d had bad tummy (not unusual when he travels!) all in his pants and the toilet but there was no paper to wipe his bum… DS4 was gagging at the smell! Then I go into the next door toilet and DS4 has been sick all over the floor because of the smell🤯 Then I drove 2.5hrs back to my mums, driving conditions were horrific. I couldn’t really see anything because of the wet weather. But we made it! Boys slept in the car on the way but as a consequence were really hard to settle when we got here. I don’t think DS4 went to sleep till nearly 2am in the end!
I’m absolutely knackered!! 😴
Send all the tea and breakfast my way, I'm gonna need it!

sashh · 05/04/2024 08:35

Tea and breakfast on its way, with a bottle of gin for later.

Morning all.

I think a simple 'things on toast' is in order.

Florence is making a variety of breads and I'm prepping cheeses, beans, spaghetti (tinned) avocado, eggs and of course jam and marmalade.

Fernando iss making a whisky and marmalade cocktail.

Morning all. If i bring some decent gluten free bread and eggs, seem to have a surplus, can someone poach me a couple please-im useless. I'll sit apart as feeling off.

sashh · 06/04/2024 06:56

No problem with poaching eggs. Do you want hen's or duck's?

I love poached eggs but I am hopeless at cooking them to so I use them. I have got ones very similar to number 2.

@laughinglivingloving welcome to our fair island, That sounds like a heck of a trip. Your poor dcs must of felt absolutely rotten.

@TopOfTheCliff , I hope you have been able to eat lots of tasty things today 😋

Thank you @ScottBakula I have a lovely DH who has fed me well. Lots of protein, salmon and pasta for supper, and a fair ration of cake too. He’s a keeper!

ScottBakula · 07/04/2024 00:11

@TopOfTheCliff umm er ummmm do you loan him out ?

sashh · 07/04/2024 03:46

Morning.

Well I was thinking Japan for today's breakfast and that weems to link well to @TopOfTheCliff 's husband's offerings.

So grilled fish of choice, steamed rice and miso soup.

Florence is a bit upset because she has Japanese bread, in a tin, so she is opening tins and swearing in French.

Fernando is making saki cocktails.

Tilllly · 07/04/2024 08:59

Think I'll go to macdonalds...

sashh · 07/04/2024 09:04

@Tilllly take Leo with you.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 07/04/2024 12:12

@Tilllly , not a fan of Japanese food ?
@sashh please can I have some miso soup. Why is Florence getting the bread out of a tin ?
I'd definitely like some warm saki this evening

TopOfTheCliff · 07/04/2024 18:26

Is it Japan or Korea that make those steamed bread rolls? They look yummy.

Tilllly · 07/04/2024 21:05

Steamed bread rolls?

Tilllly · 07/04/2024 21:05

sashh · 07/04/2024 09:04

@Tilllly take Leo with you.

I did
He brought a goat
We got barred

sashh · 08/04/2024 04:29

@ScottBakula it's something you can buy in japan, bread in a tin.

@Tilllly banned from McDonalds? Not sure if that is an achievement.

OK I hear steamed buns and I think Bao. So why not? Bao from Florence with various flavours and I'll steam som dim sum.

Fernando can do some of his magic with rice wine.

Bread in a tin somehow doesn't sound appealing. But what do I know .
Iam not keen on bao buns so I will make myself some toast , does anyone want some ?

sashh · 09/04/2024 05:32

Morning.

Toast? sounds good.

I'll add to it with a dutch breakfast, ham, cheese and boiled eggs.

Florence can make apple cakes and Fernando has an advocard cocktail to try.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 09/04/2024 16:51

Ham and cheese sounds good to me .
Can Florence make some cinnamon swirls I fancy something sweet
