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.

So lets go for a Mediterranean breakfast, slices of ham, tomatoes, yoghurt, olives and boiled eggs.

For bait Im making traditional picnic food, egg and cress sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, fresh raspberries, egg mini tarts, ham sandwiches and pickled onions.

Florence is making croissants and Fernando has a selection of ciders.

Morning.

It feels a bit chilly this morning so I'll get Fernando to make hot chocolate with a dash of brandy.

To go with it Florence is making churros.

I'll put on a healthier spread, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheeses, and cold meats.

For bait I think chicken kebabs and mixed salad and pita bread.

Good evening @sashh chicken kebabs sound good , it takes me back to Rhodes many years ago .
It was late evening and me and my dh had had a long walk and a couple of bottles of Amstel we found a tiny takeaway and got a gyros each and a chicken kebab between us.
We sat on the beach scoffed the lot , getting very messy in the process, talking and looking at the stars.

One of my most treasured memories ❤

PoopingAllTheWay · 02/07/2024 03:16

Hay

How is everyone tonight

sashh · 02/07/2024 06:18

Morning.

Sorry for the late start.

A little cooler again today so I feel a porridge / congee / bergoo with fresh fruit and nuts for topping.

Florence is making lemon cakes and Fernando has some new beers to try.

For a pack up I think a flask of tomato soup, some sourdough and of cores one of florence's cakes.

A very early good morning! Feels like a pancake and fruit type of morning to me!

PoopingAllTheWay · 03/07/2024 03:07

How is everyone? And why is everyone awake?

Whatevershallidowithmylife · 03/07/2024 03:25

@PoopingAllTheWay morning- I’m awake as I’m in hospital and had to get my fluid bag changed. Have developed a rash to antibiotics so seriously itchy!

PoopingAllTheWay · 03/07/2024 03:33

@PoopingAllTheWay morning- I’m awake as I’m in hospital and had to get my fluid bag changed. Have developed a rash to antibiotics so seriously itchy!

Oh no. Thats not good.
Do they know you have had a reaction?

Hope you are ok

sashh · 03/07/2024 04:31

@Whatevershallidowithmylife have they given you an antihistamine?

I developed an allergy to penicillin in my 40s.

I'll knock up a batch of pancakes, I might make some drop scones as well.

I'm awake because I have a crappy sleep cycle.

OP posts:
Whatevershallidowithmylife · 03/07/2024 09:53

Managed to fall asleep. Yes have antihistamines now. Might pop back for a late lunch though

sashh · 03/07/2024 10:34

@Whatevershallidowithmylife I'll send over a flask of soup and maybe a cheese sandwich.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 03/07/2024 16:26

Oooh it's busy in here .@Whatevershallidowithmylife , I hope you get the itchys under control.

Can I have a flask of soup too please @sashh , I am working until 9pm tonight a day had my lunch at 2pm .
I am going to be starving later.

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 03/07/2024 23:59

Morning/evening all!
I don't know what a brandy Alexander is, but I read about it up thread and now I want one.
Hope everyone is ok x

PoopingAllTheWay · 04/07/2024 00:02

Hello again everyone :)

sashh · 04/07/2024 03:54

Morning.

For breakfast I'm going to do butties, sausage, bacon, or a combination of them. Florence is making cheese twists. Fernando is making more brandy alexanders, @Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket its basically brandy and cream.

Soup seems popular as bait so I think a nice roasted cauliflower with garlic croutons.

Leo is desperate to wash something so if you have any pets or children who need a scrub send them his way.
