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.

I'm just going to settle here by the fire and snooze if that's ok.

Morning.

@PoopingAllTheWay
yes they look very similar, but the ends of their their tails can turn into umbrellas to fly in the rain.

Sorry about yesterday, I just didn't make it in to the café.

As it seems to be a lot of us have trouble sleeping so I think hot chocolate from \Fernando, warm milk, 'cookies' from Florence and poached eggs on toast curtesy of Leo is quite a sleepy breakfast.

Phew - made it to half term! Hoping for a better night's sleep tonight...

sashh · 15/02/2025 07:15

Morning.

Half term? Oh we need something for that.

Fairy bread as made in the Netherlands and Australia. The Aussie one is a slice of bread and butter with hundreds and thousands sprinkled on it and the Dutch version has chocolate sprinkles.

Obviously we need something a little more substantial so Leo is making egg in a basket.

Florence is baking jam tarts and Fernando is making fruity cocktails.

StripyMug · 15/02/2025 09:18

Ooh, jam tarts - haven't had those for years! I'll ask Florence if she could maybe make some with lemon curd too.

sashh · 15/02/2025 09:37

Yes to the lemon curd ones, I'd forgotten about them until now.

Morning.

Well as I am having an early start I'm going to put on some Boston baked bens with salt pork.

Florence is making corn bread to dip in the beans. Fernando is making tomato based cocktails so bloody mary and variants.

Leo is taking the kittenbees for a fly around the petting zoo.

PoopingAllTheWay · 16/02/2025 03:06

I will sit and watch the kittenbees for awhile this morning

StripyMug · 16/02/2025 04:22

@PoopingAllTheWay I will join you, if that's ok?

sashh · 16/02/2025 04:43

I've asked Florence to make some mini honey cakes so you can feed them to the kittenbees.

OP posts:
StripyMug · 16/02/2025 07:11

@sashh Mini honeycakes sound delicious! Are they just for the kittenbees? (Asking for a friend...)

sashh · 16/02/2025 09:54

I'm sure they will share @StripyMug

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 16/02/2025 11:53

Does Ben from Boston know you are planing on baking him ? 🤣

Can I have some Boston beans and sour dough toast please

It's ages since I have had tomato juice so a bloody Mary will be very nice too please.

The goats seem to be having a good time with Leo

StripyMug · 17/02/2025 07:32

Morning all! Slept so much better last night, so I'm looking forward to some of Florence's delicious pastries and a nice cup of coffee.
I might even brave the bumblecats and go and sit outside...
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

sashh · 17/02/2025 10:02

Morning.

Sorry for the late start I ended up watching a film at 2.00am

I see everyone is eating yesterday's food so I'll just add inn some bacon butties.

OP posts:
PoopingAllTheWay · 17/02/2025 13:20

Oooh, Bacon Butties

Yes please

ScottBakula · 17/02/2025 19:24

If there is any bacon left can I have chopped up and mixed with tinned tomatoes and grated cheese and a couple of rounds of toast please.

ScottBakula · 18/02/2025 06:08

I think kippers are in order this morning.
Leo is doing scrambled eggs with bacon bits.
Florence is experimenting with suet cakes .
I have no idea what Fernando is up to but he has got dry ice and vodka on the bar

sashh · 18/02/2025 08:16

Morning.

I'll have scrambled egg on toast.

I'll put out a few jars of things that go on toast, jam, marmalade, compote, lemon curd, Bovril and ... well that foul stuff is outside if anyone is that disgusting.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 18/02/2025 09:46

There you go @sashh , one plate of scrambled eggs on toast .

I can still taste my kippers so I think I will have the suff that should not be mentioned on toast.

PoopingAllTheWay · 19/02/2025 03:53

Well, its 4am
I havent slept yet but just put a thick sherpa blanket on top of my duvet and im still cold
