Morning.

Just setting this up before the old one fills up.

For anyone new, this is a cafe where you can come, eat (calorie free) drink and be merry.

There are kittenbees in the café, which are kittens the size of bees, they are friendly but do nibble the pastries.

Outside are their larger 'cousins' the Bumblecats, they are not as friendly.

Leo is a Lemur who now runs the outdoor dog wash.

Florence is a French pastry chef, Fernando is a cocktail waiter.

Outside is a water feature and a petting zoo.

Morning.

I've had another bad night so I'm leaving everything up to F and F and Leo.

So it looks like you are getting cakes, cocktails and goats milk. Enjoy.

Lovely that sounds good. Currently eating a premier inn breakfast

ScottBakula · 19/09/2024 06:48

I have put the fire on low , dimmed the lights and your favourite chair and blanket are awaiting you @sashh .
I hope you can have a nap and feel better soon.

Leo is making sure the ducks and chickens stay quiet

I'm not sure what Florence is making but Fernando is making a huge vat of hot chocolate with tia Maria in it.

sashh · 20/09/2024 03:50

Hot chocolate with Tia Maria = bliss.

I'll keep that on for today.

Not 100% yet but well enough to put on a cold spread of ham, hard boiled eggs, fruit, bagels and crusty rolls, smoked salmon and cream cheese.

Florence is making French apple tart.

I am glad you are feeling a bit better @sashh .

Ham and eggs sounds good.
I have been eating lots of pineapple recently and discovered I like it with a tiny bit of black pepper on it.

sashh · 20/09/2024 10:11

Pineapple with pepper, that actually sounds good.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 20/09/2024 13:49

It is , give it a go . If you can resist the urge to eat it right away its better left sat at room temp for 15 / 30 mins

I'd recommend the same with strawberries but I think you throw the whole punnet at me 😀

sashh · 21/09/2024 05:33

STRAWBERRIES ARE EVIL.

Now we have got that out of the way breakfast.

I feel a trip to Ghana is in order.

Waakye wrapped in a banana leaf, Hausa Koko with bofrat, Tom Brown and tea with bread.

Florence is making chock chip muffins and Fernando is making cocktails with akpeteshie.

I hope you're feeling better today @sashh . I'm getting a sad end of summer feeling so I think I'll have the hot choc with Tia Maria if there's any left

sashh · 22/09/2024 03:49

Morning all.

Well there was a terrific storm in the night and I was worried because the cat was outside. Then she wandered in completely dry! She ate the remains of my dinner (cod) and wandered out again.

For a change lets head for Iceland. oatmeal (hafragrautur), Skyr with jam, bread with butter, and cod liver oil on the side (I'll hide it in some orange juice).

Florence is making Sjónvarpskaka and Fernando is making cocktails with Brennivín.

Leo is taking the kittenbees for a fly around the petting zoo, I have made him promise to not wash them.

PoopingAllTheWay · 22/09/2024 05:43

Ah, glad kitty was ok

No storm here, still waiting

sashh · 23/09/2024 05:55

Morning.
I feel in the mood for something simple.

Toast with butter and or cheese, beans, marmalade, jam.

Florence is making croissants and Fernando is making vodka cocktails.

The two cats I grew up with were so different in many ways the older grumpy ginger girl and younger friendly black boy .
The girl would always come in bone dry no matter how heavy it had rained the boy was always bedraggled, wet and mucky .
However the boy was much smarter when getting in , we didn't have a cat flap .
Our back door was solid wood at the bottom and lightly frosted glass halfway up.
Girl cat would sit on the doorstep ( out of sight) and not say a peep.
Boy cat would reach up and stick his claws in the putty and pull himself up and peep through the glass so all we could see was his paws , ears and eyes and yowl at the top of his lungs.
Does anyone remember the 'wot no chad' drawing ? That's what boy cat looked like 😆.

Anyway back to brekky, I think since it's quiet sticking to 'on toast ' is a good idea. So there is
Beans
Cheese
Pilchards
Fried mushrooms
Poached or fried eggs
Jam
Marmalade
Peanut butter

And

All

The

Way

Over
Here

Marmite.

@ScottBakula I was planning a lovely new breakfast and then you mentioned it.

I'm taking cheese on toast in to the garden. It's a good job the heating is on.

OP posts:
PoopingAllTheWay · 24/09/2024 22:13

I checked in at 5am , and there was nothing on offer
So i went hungry 🤨

You should both be ashamed of yourself that there was nothing on offer 😂 @sashh @ScottBakula

@ScottBakula Offers of breakfast at 06.22 is to late 🤪

sashh · 25/09/2024 04:45

Morning.

Well now I have been scolded I shall make amends by offering a breakfast of luxurious items.

Florence is making raspberry pastries, and Fernando is of course pouring the Champagne.

Eggs benedict, fresh fruit salad, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon than caviar on the side, a range of charcuterie, baked figs wrapped in serano ham.

Rather than kippers a smoked herring wrapped in lemon leaves and slowly baked.

For pack up I have ordered the F and M ultimate picnic.

Oooh, scrambled eggs and pastries sound lovely :)

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 25/09/2024 07:33

Wot? Only four bottles of champagne in the pack up?
I'll have a bit of toast and a pot of tea please!

Morning all

Could I be greedy and have delicious raspberry pastries and champagne, then take a hamper into work please?

sashh · 25/09/2024 09:20

Of course you can @MinnieMountain

OP posts:
PoopingAllTheWay · 26/09/2024 02:42

Its rainy and chilly here

So i will take a mug of hot chocolate and sit in the corner in front of the fire with twinkly lights please

Hope everyone is well this morning

ScottBakula · 26/09/2024 06:11

Morning all , its damp and chilly here too.
Hot chocolate sounds like a good idea.

sashh · 26/09/2024 07:41

Morning.

Sorry for the late start.

Hot chocolate sounds great. I think we can pair that up with crumpets and give F and F a day off.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 26/09/2024 19:38

I have brought some mini marshmallows and fresh mint leaf to add to the coco

And cheese to go on the crumpets .
