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 all.

Well another cold and wet start tot he day.

I'm going to use Leo's newly acquired egg cooking skills to make scrambled egg on toast, you can have the eggs scrambled with spices, cheese, smoked salmon trimmings, chives, herbs, spring onions and various amounts of cream / milk.

Florence is making bread for the toast so bagels, sourdough, white, wholemeal.

Fernando is making brandy alexanders.

Morning all,
@sashh please can you ask Leo to make me scrambled eggs ( no milk ) with chives and black pepper on toasted bloomer.

Also can I be cheeky and ask Florence to bake me a seeded loaf for me to take home, apparently my local tescos dont have any seeded loaves whatsoever 🙄.

sashh · 13/10/2024 05:21

Morning.

@ScottBakula how was the scrambled eggs? I think I will keep Leo on the egg station making eggs benedict.

Florence is making bunt cakes and Fernando is making mulled cider.

Morning.

It's quiet this morning so I'll just leave Leo on the egg station and have a sit by the fire.

ScottBakula · 14/10/2024 08:54

Morning @sashh , Leo is getting good , there was a tiny bit of shell in it but he is still learning so it's fine.

So I will try his poached eggs on toast and a black coffee.
Mind if I join you by the fire?

sashh · 14/10/2024 11:42

Help yourself tot he fire, not a problem. Yes Lea is turning out to be a hard worker.

ScottBakula · 14/10/2024 21:50

Lol has Fernando been making your cocktails a bit stronger than normal ?

ScottBakula · 15/10/2024 06:37

Morning all , its quiet here so I think for now I will just have a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes and a coffee.

Leo I out collecting duck and hen eggs .

Morning. I think Fernando's cocktails are certainly getting stronger.

Cereal? Not a problem there is a selection, help yourselves.

Florence is making puris, I'm going to make raita and chutney to go with them and Fernando is making non alcoholic lassi.

Morning.

It is quiet again. I wonder if I should close down for a bit?

Anyway F and F deserve a day off so it is just Leo and me. Leo is, obviously, making eggs and I'll make bacon and sausages to go with it.

Help your selves to hot and cold drinks.

ScottBakula · 16/10/2024 06:44

I'd love to know what Fernando is putting in our cocktails , I think @mnhq are on them to because I certainly didn't repeat myself ( 😜).

I agree it's been quiet for a while , Do you want yo try a roll call or close for a little while ?

Can I have bacon and fried eggs on toast please

sashh · 16/10/2024 07:31

Bacon and eggs on toast, on its way.

OP posts:
sashh · 17/10/2024 05:56

Morning.

Well this is a new one, I'm leaving Leo in charge, so breakfast will be eggs but I have no idea what else.

Florence is looking nervously at him and says she can only make toast today and Fernando is serving brandy.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 17/10/2024 21:03

Well he made me some great poached eggs on toast , he's getting good at them.

However because it's a bit quiet he's getting upto mischief, I have just seen him with a cocktail recipe card for a Brandy Alexander a bottle of brandy and a bucket and he's heading towards a nanny goat .

This could get messy !

Flubadubba · 18/10/2024 04:07

Morning! Anyone else awake? Have been up since 1.30 with a sick kid (again- I have had 5 hours sleep in 48)

ScottBakula · 18/10/2024 06:25

Good morning @Flubadubba that sounds rough , I hope you managed to get some sleep and your lo gets better soon.

The fire is lit , grab a blanket and have a doze by the fire.

sashh · 18/10/2024 07:10

Morning.

Sorry for the late start, Leo is not feeling well, strangely I found him asleep with goats.

Florence is making soda bread and Fernando is making hot chocolate with or without alcohol.

I had a little nostalgia trip yesterday so I'm making ploughman's lunch for pack up.

A ploughman's ( are we still allowed to call it that ? )
A ploughpersons would be very nice I have some home made pickles that I can share.

sashh · 19/10/2024 07:19

Morning.

Another late start, sorry everyone.

Well Florence is teaching Leo to make meringue this morning so that should be interesting. I'll just do toast and put out some fruit and cream to go with the meringue.

Fernando is making pumpkin spiced tea.

Yes we can still call it a ploughman's and I might just have one for my lunch.

Mmm pumpkin spiced tea sounds interesting - I'll give it a go!
