The happy Place Café is still open - 2024

[sashh]

Morning.

I'm just starting this before the last one fills up.

Morning.

@lovinglaughingliving Is it your boys' first time seeing Star Wars? What a treat.

Sorry for the late start, I had a rough night so I'm sitting in the book corner. Florence is making cheese toasties and Fernando is making bucks fizz.

Leo wants a uniform for dog washing, what do you all think?

I think it would be fine unless the kittenbees want them too.

They've seen them all, but never at the cinema and it's the 25th anniversary, DH is so excited!
I've woken up with a banging headache 😢 taken some tablets and told The Boys to go downstairs to Daddy while I get some rest before karate at 11.
Thank you for the breakfast, yes let Leo have a uniform, nothing worse than your fur smelling of wet dog!!

@lovinglaughingliving I am glad you have managed to get the boys room sorted

What is a purple karate tip ?

@sashh I hope you manage to catch up on some kip in the book corner.
I have asked Florence for a cheese and onion toasties.

I think a uniform for Leo would be great.
Do we go for the 1950s bell boy look , or a brightly coloured fleecy jacket, or dungarees? Or something else
Which ever it is we should have @Tilllly & Leo's dog wash / dog washing service embroidered on it.
The kitten bees could hand out tiny business cards in maching style with the different types of washing service.
Paw rinse
Paw tummy and tail rinse
Full shampoo

I have seen Leo eyeing up a set of clippers I am not sure that's a good idea, there will be some odd looking poodles around if he gets his way !

Hay Everyone…. Here again

Morning.

Well I feel a little Persian food would go down well so I have asked Florence to make Persian breads, lavash, babari and sangak.

I'll set out some feta and a selection of jams.

Fernando is making sweet Persian tea.

Leo is showing off his new uniform of dungarees and fleece. Please complement him.

I have never had persain food so I am keen to try any of it.

I love feta , can I have some with very fine diced tomatoes and cucumber with fresh mint and lime . It takes me back many years to Rhodes

I have told Leo he looks very smart but he seems to be confused, do his dungaree straps go straight over or cross over his shoulders?

Leo looks so smart - Bless him :)

Morning.

@ScottBakula we have a Persian take away, well it's a pizza place owned by Iranians who do a few Persian dishes on the side.

OK breakfast, well I'm hoping it is another nice day so lets head to Italy.

Florence is making cornetos (?corneti)similar to croissants with fillings, Italian bead, butter, jam and of course some espresso so strong your spoon stands up in it.

Fernando has a selection of liqueurs to add to the coffee.

Mmm, Italian bread and jams sound good

Now this is my kind of coffee !
Some nice bread firm beef tomatoes good oil and feta would be very nice.

I am actually at a pub I haven't been to for a while but used to be my local , its done food for ages but was good food at decent prices, its not city center expensive but still not cheap .

Hello again 😴

Morning.

I think we will stay around the Mediterranean and head for croatia. The unusual thing about croatia is that there are two breakfast.

So fruit brandy, bread rolls and coffee.

Mid morning you then have stuffed cabbage or goulash.

Florence is making croissants to have on the side and Fernando is making russian style tea served in glasses.

Enjoyed the croissants

I wonder whats on the menu for tonight / morning because no doubt i will be here again

How is everyone?

I feel like some boiled eggs on toast and a coffee, sitting outside with some fairy lights, its very warm tonight !

Morning.

@PeopleAreWeird eggs on toast sound good, boiled, fried, poached, coddled.

Florence is making sourdough and Fernando is making mimosas.

Leo has, as I feared, decided to wash the goats and they seem quite happy to be washed.

Morning.

Another nice day so I'm firing up the BBQ for sausages and fruit kebabs. Florence is making scotch pancakes and Fernando is making smoothies.

Bbq for breakfast, I like the sound of that.
Can I have a sausage buttie.
I don't think I have had fruit kebabs before so I will try one ot them .

I saw one of the goats eyeing up Leo's uniform, I can't decide if he wanted his own or wanted to eat it.
We do seem to have a lot of the animals smelling of cucumber and watermelon and looking particularly floofy 🐐 🐓 🐇

@ScottBakula LOL. Yes the animals do look rather floofy.

One sausage butty on its way, do you want any sauce?

Try fruit kebabs next time you have a BBQ - just thread fruit on to a skewer and lightly grill / BBQ to get a char.

Anyone about? Go outside and look at the sky. The northern lights are amazing tonight. It’s driving the kittenbees crazy!

Wow. I missed that. And I was awake because bloody neighbours decided the whole area should be nightclub.

First things first I started a new thread as this one is filling up.

I'm really tired so I'm just goingt o sit outside and keep Leo out of trouble. Florence is making danish pastries and Fernando is making coffee liquors.

The BBQ is still hot if anyone wants to cook something.

Morning.

Well it's still warm so lets head for the Mediterranean for breakfast. Tomato salad, hummus with pita bread, yoghurt, olives and strong coffee.

Florence is making sticky sweet pastries and Fernando is making retsina and fruit mixes.

Morning.

I have had a bit of a rough night so I'm settling in the book corner, please give food and drink orders to F and F.

I crept in and hoovered up the Mediterranean breakfast it was very nice.
I missed the northern lights too 🙁.

I hope you are feeling better now @sashh , I have been up since 4am and am fit to drop so I am going to -have a doze too read a book

Morning.

@ScottBakula It was a weird day all round yesterday. I'm leaving F and F and Leo to run the place today. Link to new thread.

Well this will be the last post on this thread 😥.

Thank you @sashh for keeping us all well fed with some excellent food and inspiration for new breakfasts for us to try irl

I am a little concerned that all the animals won't know how to get to the new thread , or do you think they will just 'know' like migrating animals, birds and butterflies?

See you all on the new thread 🙂👋
