So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

Hi, Zzyyggy. The cybercafe puts on the best New Year’s celebration, unlike IRL, where the neighbor’s fireworks that sounded like it was directly below the bedroom window. The noise was startling, but I was so sleepy I didn’t get up to look out the window. At least I went right back to sleep. We spent the afternoon with the kids. They made pizza and we opened presents. I’ll join you on the terrace for a cup of coffee.0

Hi Linda, that sounds like a good day. Our fireworks were at 9:00 instead of 12:00 and I got to watch them from the comfort of my desk chair. I'm starving tonight. I'm going to have the diner fried chicken platter with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, gravy and dinner rolls with a coca cola. Lots of butter as well. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'll eat in the dining room tonight. It's back to normal already. The next holiday is Valentines day where we'll see a lot of red hearts and roses.0

Hi, Zzyyggy. What? You got fried chicken without mess of greens and beans and rolls instead of biscuits? Of course, Francois makes the most delicious rolls. It’s a macaroni and cheese night for me. Francois has added tons of yummy vegetables and cheesy sauce and it has a very fancy name, but it’s still my favorite macaroni and cheese no matter what he calls it. I made raspberry jam filled thumbprint cookies for New Year’s Day. Sweetie says we can have more of those for dessert at the cybercafe. They were really good and everyone loved them. I think our daughter-in-law was able to save some for another day. I put the cookies in two containers so she could freeze one, although with a sixteen year old boy in the house there’s no guarantee the cookies will last very long.
I think Igor has decided to decorate with snow people. There’s an entire family of snow people out on the side of the hill on the way to the barns. I’ve noticed the snow moving further and further down the mountains. Winter is upon us. I just looked up your forecast and, oh my goodness, there a whole lot of cold weather coming your way. 🥶0 -
Hi Linda, yeah I know, but thankfully I'm in a nice warm apartment. Yestarday I went for a walk, and almost got blown away with the gusty winds. The lakes been pretty choppy as well. Didn't get outside today though even though we had sunshine. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the fried scallops platter with french fries, cole slaw, a coca cola, and lots of tarter sauce. Also one of those baskets of dinner rolls with lots of butter please. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha.0

Hi, Zzyyggy. I starving. I decided to take a nap earlier. Just a short nap turned into a much longer nap. It was one of those naps where you wake up and think it’s morning. Did Sweetie start dinner? No. He says he can make chicken soup. Wouldn’t leftovers be easier and faster (emphasis on faster). We could even have macaroni and cheese. Yes?
Viktor, I’ll have the grilled salmon with roasted potatoes and salad, please. You’ll have to bring another basket of rolls for our table. I just finished the last one. I saw some oatmeal raspberry bars in the bakery case and will definitely be ordering some of those for dessert with my coffee.0 -
Hi Linda, it deffinitely got colder around here. I didn't get outside because of the wind and cold. For dinner tonight I would love a big bowl of beef stew with lots of dinner rolls, and butter, and a coca cola. For dessert Francois made an assortment of cupcakes. I'll have that with an iced mocha. I think I'll eat in the dining room by the roaring fire.0

Oh, gee, Zzyyggy, the weather app says right now at 5:30, Saturday, it feels like it’s 8 degrees in Burlington. Yikes!😱 Here in Charlotte, it’s warmer with temperatures in the 40’s—that’s colder than normal, although we can have lower temperatures than that.
lol at the time, be back in a bit.
Huh, it took me an hour to have dinner. Sweetie ended up making his chicken soup this morning. He prepped everything last night and then decided it was getting too late to make soup. That chicken soup sure tasted good. Fortunately, we had some of Francois’ rolls from the cybercafe, too. Here’s Viktor with our coffees and a platter of cupcakes. Delicious 😋.0 -
Hi Linda, Not only are we having low temps, but we had snow most of the day today. It's pretty out there again. I got in a walk this afternoon after the sidewalks were plowed. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the Sunday Prime Rib dinner with baked potato, salad, and a coca cola. For dessert I'm going to have some klondike bars with an iced mocha. I'll eat in the dining room and enjoy the roaring fire. It wasn't too bad out there until the wind came up.0
-
Oh, snow! Hi, Zzyyggy. We were supposed to get rain. We still might get some rain in the morning. I’ll join you by the fire. I’m freezing tonight. I ordered potato salad with egg in it. I haven’t had that in a very long time. Viktor said he’ll bring my coffee right out and a refill for your iced mocha, as well. It’s almost 11:00 at night and Sweetie is making tuna fish salad. Me? I’m heading to bed, after I’m finished here at the cybercafe.0
-
Hi Linda, we had sunshine today but at 15 degrees it was cold out there. I did get in a walk today, but that wind was wicked cold. Needless to say I was all bundled up. For dinner tonight I'm still chilled so I'm going to have a bowl of seafood chowder with lots of bread and butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies with an iced mocha. I'll eat in the dining room by the fire.0
-
Zzyyggy, at 15 degrees I would turn into an ice cube 🧊. I was cold enough today at 40 degrees. It’s a good night to spend sitting by the fire. I’m ready for dessert and Viktor will be here in a minute with our coffees and cookies. I ordered endless plates of raspberry thumbprint cookies in addition to the chocolate chip cookies. 😋0
-
Hi Linda, we had a snowy day today and it was cold again. I did get out for a swim at the Y though. My first one in a couple of weeks. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the macaroni and cheese with lots of bread and butter and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chocolate sauce, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight since I'm missing the sun.0
-
Hi, Zzyyggy. Mm, macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite things and Francois makes the best. Sweetie ordered apple pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. I’ll take mine with caramel sauce.
Glad you were able to get to the Y for a swim. It’s cold out there! It’s so cold we might even get snow on Friday—less than half an inch. Then again, it could be ice instead. 😬0 -
Hi Linda, we had snow today, quite the blizzard for awhile. Not a day to be outside for any reason so I stayed in. Did a lot of reading. For dinner tonight I would like the lasagna platter with garlic bread and string beans. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven, and an iced mocha. I'll sit out on the terrace tonight, and enjoy the sunset.0

Who else is a coffee lover?0 -
Coffee? YES! Welcome to the cybercafe @ThatClintGuy where the coffee is always fresh and Viktor, the best waiter ever, is always ready to serve you whatever you desire. Ah, and here’s Viktor now with coffees and warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies. Join us out on the terrace where it’s warm.
Zzyyggy, I want some snow, too, but just a little. Ah, Sunset Dessert. Sweetie decided to make pumpkin pie last night. Why does he decide to cook at 9:00 pm? 🤷♀️ He put 1/4 cup of sugar in it because he misread the recipe, so he decided to put confectioners sugar on top. Oh, boy. He’ll get the hang of it eventually. It tasted pretty good without the added sugar. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I’d prefer just the pumpkin custard made without the crust or the eggs—I use tapioca starch instead of eggs. He forgets that eggs make me feel miserable. I’m not allergic, it’s just reflux and I can take a Pepcid. No big deal most of the time.0 -

And chocolate chip cookies! Amazing!😁

Hi everyone, ThatClintguy welcome to the cyber cafe. The chocolate chip cookies are the best here fresh from the oven, and the best part no calories, and they are always free. Linda, we had another da of snow. I had a sister lunch with my sisters and that was good. Then I went home and read for most of the day. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a big bowl of beef stew with dinner rolls and butter, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some of those chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'll sit out on the terrace again, and enjoy the sunshine. Linda if you have any sunshine I'll trade you snow for that.0

Well, Zzyyggy, the sun was shining, but it was cold and windy. At least, cold for Charlotte. It was 18 degrees this morning and low to mid 30’s most of the day. Although my weather app said it went up to 40 degrees, the thermometer at my house disagreed. We have a storm coming in tomorrow—Friday afternoon into early Saturday morning bringing snow and/or ice. We’re right on the line, but I expect we’ll get more ice than snow. By 9:00 pm we’re supposed to have thunder snow. Too bad it’s at night, it’s really amazing to watch the snow and listen to the rolling thunder. And Zzyyggy, since you’re offering, I’d like 6 inches of snow and I’d send an entire week of sun. I miss dark days in the winter. We don’t get many of them.
We had chicken stew for dinner tonight and it was delicious. It’s time for dessert I’ve been looking forward to sitting by the fire in the Club Room and having Viktor serve me coffee and a piece of the pumpkin pie Francois made this afternoon. Perhaps Viktor could bring a carafe of coffee and some chocolate covered caramels and chocolate covered espresso beans, too.0 -
Good morning to the cybercafe! Hi, Zzyyggy. Hmm, it’s supposed to snow later today—we might get snow. The latest map says we’ll get a wintry mix. The mountains will get up to 6 inches of snow. I can only pray that the people who were living in tents have better housing now. Unfortunately, the people hardest hit by hurricanes this year from Florida to Virginia are still in need of assistance. It makes the fires in LA even more heart wrenching. The situation is catastrophic. We were finally able to get a hold of Sweetie’s cousins who live in Pasadena. They’re not up in the Palisades so they haven’t been evacuated. It’s the higher elevations that are burning. Still, it’s got to be terrifying.
Sorry to go on about all this. It’s on my mind. Viktor just delivered an entire pot of Peet’s Cafe Domingo and a basket of mini pastries to my table. Come join me for breakfast. I’m going to order my favorite vegetable omelet and eat some of these delicious pastries. There’s even some mini cinnamon buns the cybercafe is famous for. Plus, it’s another beautiful day at the cybercafe. I’m sitting by an open window enjoying the warm breeze. I love the view out this window. I can see all the flowers in bloom and the farm animals grazing in the fields. Jorge is out working in the apple orchard.0 -
Hi Linda, I'm laughing hysterically right now. We had sunshine all day today. It was cold, but the felt so good. Maybe the universe is listening to us. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the fried scallops with tarter sauce, and frenchfries. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven, and an iced mocha. I just ordered kfc from grubhub. It's the first time they've offered that. I'm excited because I love kfc. I'll let you know how it is tomorrow. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight and watch the sunset.0

Okay, Zzyyggy, this is the snow:
As I’m taking this picture I can hear the freezing rain starting to fall. This might be the only snow we get for another couple of years. Who knows 🤷♀️. I’m loving our cloudy day and our tiny bit of snow. The forecast says our cold weather will hang around for a while, but it won’t be cold enough to snow. Anyway, I’m going to join you on the terrace for dessert. I’m ready for coffee and a piece of ginger cake with lemon icing.0 -
Hi Linda, well we do have more then that. It snowed again today, and I spent the day reading on the couch. It was fun. Our temps are 29 degrees right now which is pretty mild for us. For dinner tonight I could go for a porter house steak with baked potato and lots of butter. sauteed mushrooms and onions over that steak, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some apple crisp, with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace again. I love the warm tropical sunshine.0
-
Hi, Zzyyggy. We woke up to everything outside covered in ice. It didn’t last once the sun came up, but it was pretty while it lasted. I’ll join you on the terrace. Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream sounds wonderful for dessert and I ordered a cinnamon ginger latte, too. We had steak with sweet potato, broccoli and carrots for dinner and Francois contributed his famous dinner rolls. Too bad the dinner rolls are only virtual.0
-
Hi Linda, we had a nice day today. Lots of sunshine, and clear blue skies, with temps at 30 degrees and no wind. That's pretty reasonable for us. I got in a nice long walk. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the Sunday roast chicken with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and winter squash, plus some of those dinner rolls with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some apple pie with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll sit out on the terrace and enjoy the warm tropical sunshine here. Plus we have no bugs on the terrace either. Later we'll have a bonfire and roast marshmellows as the sun goes down.0
-
Zzyyggy, I ordered Francois’ Sunday dinner, too, and it was delicious. It’s good we had an early dinner, because now I can have hot chocolate and s’mores. Mm. Careful with those marshmallows. Useless loves marshmallows. He’s been known to steal an entire bag. I think he just licks the outside of the marshmallows until they get really sticky. Sure does make a mess. (Yes, I had a real cat that did this.) Crazy cat.
Around here, in the Charlotte area, when the temperature dips below 50 degrees during the day, it’s cold. Although, personally, I’m cold when it’s below 60 degrees outside. We’ll be having a bit of a warmer weather with temperatures in the mid 50’s this week, which is our normal January weather. Then it gets cold again. I thought we were supposed to have a warm winter, so I’ve been enjoying the colder weather.0 -
Hi Linda, we're back to Winter tonight with cold, and snow. I got in a walk earlier and did Physical Therapy in the morning. I'm pooped tonight. For dinner I'm going to have the roast beef grinder with the works, a bag of chips, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a couple of those giant chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace again.0
-
Hi, Zzyyggy. Sounds like you had a busy day. Sweetie says it was a warm 50 degrees outside today. It still feels cold to me, but this is the start of a warmer week. Sweetie’s off to bed early tonight—usually he doesn’t make it before midnight or later. I’m ready to sit by the fire and read my book. Viktor says my coffee and giant chocolate chip cookie will be right out. 😋0
-
Hi Linda, no snow today but it was cold out there with a cold wind blowing. I got a swim in and a walk. I walked home from the Y. I had to stop at the library and the bank. Good thing they're within walking distance, although I felt like I would get blown away. For dinner tonight I would love a large bowl of beef stew with lots of dinner rolls and butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some klondike bars and an iced mocha. I think I'll eat in the dining room tonight. I got a bit of a chill out there earlier. Besides I like watching the fish tanks.0

Zzyyggy a swim and a walk in the cold? Good for you, you’re braver than me. Just thinking about it makes me shiver. This morning I woke up with a migraine. The kind where noise, light, and even the thought of food had me staying in bed. Fortunately, I’m feeling much better now. I ordered soup—some of Francois’ special chicken soup. Viktor already brought a pot of tea, along with my fuzzy bunny slippers and my favorite blue fleece blanket. I’m so spoiled here at the cybercafe. Let’s sit by the fire, there’s a good view of the aquariums from here.0
