So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

LindaK125

Welcome to the cybercafe @dontlikepeople Viktor will be right out with your order. Fortunately, all the food at the cybercafe is zero calories!

Zzyyggy, wrens are pretty fierce. I once watched a wren intimidate a crow. Anyway, I’m sorry you’re still not feeling great. Viktor will get you whatever you need to feel better. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that? Speaking of which, Sweetie just went out the front door without disturbing any wrens. Maybe the mothball smell really is keeping them away?

Reenie’s hot chocolate with whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon sounds good. I think I’ll have one of those and an endless plate of holiday cookies.

ReenieHJ

@Zzyyggy feeling any better today?

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, feeling better this morning. The sun was finally out this afternoon and made everything so much better. Even got out for a walk, but boy was it cold. That wind was fierce. I'm ready for dinner tonight. I think I'll have the fish n chips platter with lots of tarter sauce, and a coca cola with that. For dessert I think I'll have a brownie with chocolate ice cream covered in chocolate sauce with an iced mocha. Yes I think I need chocolate. So who's up for some holiday specials tonight on the big screen tv in the library by the fire. We have them all. I think we'll start with Jim Carrey's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, followed by the classics and if we're still up Elf and others. Or maybe we can continue on until tomorrow. Francois and Viktor have the munchies, popcorn and drinks set up. There are nice warm slippers and blankets to cozy up in and the recliners are so comfy.

LindaK125

Mm, here, wait, let me finish my bowl of macaroni and cheese. Viktor crumbled tortilla chips on the top and it’s so good. Zzyyggy, a brownie sundae is an inspired choice. I think Igor is serving in the library tonight. I’ll have to order chocolate chip mint ice cream brownie sundae for dessert.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, here for the early bird special. Igor is setting up Christmas lights all over the place. Love the set up out by the pool. He's strung a net of fairy lights above it. I'm not sure how he got up there and I don't think I really want to know. For dinner tonight I'll have Baked beans, hotdogs, and brown bread with a coca cola. I haven't had that in ages. For dessert I'll have a slice of angel food cake with cream cheese frosting and an iced mocha. Oh and Igor has already set up some of the Christmas trees. The one in the library looks gorgeous.

LindaK125

Sunday Brunch at the cybercafe! Viktor already brought a basket of mini pastries and a carafe of my favorite coffee. I think I’ll start with a fruit plate. I can’t decide between the cheese and vegetable omelet or the Eggs Benedict. The cafe looks wonderful all decorated for Christmas. There must be a dome over the cyber pool because there’s snow in the hills and mountains beyond the cyber farm. Igor said something about cross country skiing.

I’ve been reading a new book and I didn’t make it into the cybercafe yesterday (or anywhere else, for that matter).

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, know what you mean about getting into books. I'll start one in the morning and it'll be late afternoon when I look up again, and only because my stomach growled. Tonight I think I'll have the Lasagna dinner with lots of garlic bread and a salad. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a slice of devil's food cake and vanilla ice cream with an iced mocha. Linda you might be right about the dome over the pool. I guess I don't have build an indoor pool then. I was thinking of adding one of those next to the library.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, build the indoor pool and then we can go ice skating on the outdoor pool!

Ah, good morning Viktor. How are you today? A cup of coffee and a basket of mini pastries would be perfect, please. I think I’ll have a cheese and fruit plate, too.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, Indoor pool coming right up. Or maybe a separate outdoor pond for ice skating. Or both what the heck. For tonight's dinner I'm going to have a big plate of macaroni and cheese with lots of bread and butter and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some brownies and an iced mocha. Man do I need some sunshine too. This day has been drab and dreary in the real world.

LindaK125

Macaroni and cheese for me, too, please! And, Viktor, may I please have an iced mocha and vanilla buttercream icing on my brownie? Ah,, Zzyyggy, this indoor pool is wonderful. Who knew the sun can shine through the windows even at night? Only at the cybercafe.

We had a mostly cloudy day southeast of Charlotte. In fact, at one point the clouds looked like snow clouds. Except, of course, the temperature would have to drop 40 degrees before that could happen. 🙃

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, thought so. I love the pools at the Y with those huge windows letting in the sun when it does shine in the real world. It did this morning and that was nice. Of course the indoor pool at the cyber cafe is all windows, and they can be opened as well. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a porter house steak with baked potato and lots of butter. A salad with that, and a coca cola please. For dessert I could go for a slice of Angel food cake with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. After swimming this morning I'm pooped.

LindaK125

Hey, Zzyyggy. Francois made a cheeseburger and cheesy fries for me earlier, but it’s time for a plate of Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.

We’ll have to spend the day at the indoor pool tomorrow. Fortunately, there’s a cute little coffee and juice bar right near the entrance to the pool with tables and lots of big potted trees and plants.

LindaK125

It’s a beautiful late Wednesday afternoon at the cybercafe! Francois made potato cheese soup and there’s warm, crusty bread just out of the oven. I’m heading for one of the tables by the fireplace for dinner. Can’t wait to have the soup and then Christmas cookies and coffee for dessert. I saw a cranberry pecan cake with white chocolate icing in the bakery case on the way in. I might have a piece of that. 🤔

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I hope I didn't scare everyone else away. That potato and cheese soup sounds good. Today has been really raw outside weather wise so an evening by the cyber fireplace sounds perfect. For dessert I'm going to have a slice of Boston Cream Pie and an iced mocha. Oh Viktor thank you for remembering the coca cola with my dinner.

LindaK125

It does feel good by the fire tonight, Zzyyggy. Francois made my favorite chocolate mint Christmas cookies. I’m nibbling on those and reading my book. I do actually have to make Christmas cookies this year. Our new neighbors have little kids and I like to make tiny little molasses ginger cookies cut out as gingerbread men for the kids. I had to promise some to my daughter-in-law (the daughter of my heart) because they are her very favorite. She had surgery yesterday and it’s been rough going today, but she’ll be okay. The littlest sweetie had knee surgery last week. He broke a bone there and they had to go in and clean everything up, but once his knee heals it will be better than new. Our little Sweetie (son) has neck surgery just before Christmas, so with all three of them out of commission for Christmas it will be a quiet holiday. We’re planning on making meals and Christmas cookies and running to the store whenever they need us.

We’re having a cold night tonight. The temperature is already 36 degrees. Our daytime temperatures have ranged from 45 to 75 degrees, while the norm would be in the 50’s and 60’s with nighttime temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s. I’ve enjoyed the weather for the most part except we’ve been moving into moderate drought. The best news though is that we got an inch of rain last night and the fire ban was lifted. They were able to get the two wildfires under control this last weekend and the rain will be a help.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, Hope your family gets on the mend soon. Aren't you glad you can help out though. I think families are the most important thing around. I don't know what I would do without my sisters. Your weather sounds like ours. We had snow today again. It does look pretty though. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the prime rib dinner with baked potato and a salad. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'm going to have a slice of dutch apple pie. I don't know what it is lately but I've been craving all things apply and cheesy. I'll have an iced mocha with that too please. An evening reading by the fire place sounds perfect with hot tea and biscuits or tea cookies.

LindaK125

My great grandfather liked to eat his apple pie with cheddar cheese, Zzyyggy. I could go for some of that about now. There are Christmas cookies in the house that I’m trying to ignore. I’m much better off eating at the cybercafe. Hopefully, the tin of cookies gets sent to the kiddies tomorrow. I’m making some balsamic chicken to drop off, too.

Viktor, may I please have a cup of tea with my apple pie and cheese?

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, here for dinner. I think I'll have a huge plate of macaroni and cheese, and lots of bread and butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies. I think it's going to be an early night to bed today. I'm pooped.

LindaK125

Mm, that macaroni and cheese was yummy. I ate so much of it I can’t move. Good thing I’m already in my recliner. I’ll have to ask Viktor to make sure to wake me up in the morning before customers start coming in.

ReenieHJ

Good morning all!! I'm in the mood for some obscene nibbling. Start with a Brie appetizer(I'm in the mood for some roasted almonds and maple syrup on top), lots of different kinds of crackers, maybe add some grapes and dates, mixed nuts.

Then I'll think about my dinner.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, ReenieHJ welcome back. I see Linda slept here during the day. She looks so comfortable in her recliner I may sit in mine after dinner. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a bacon cheeseburger with french fries and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha.

LindaK125

I didn’t spend the entire day sleeping, Zzyyggy. I was awake enough to nibble on some of ReenieHJ’s appetizers. So good. Plus, Francois made a cheese and freggies platter with my favorite little cheese crackers, too. And I had a bowl of macaroni and cheese between naps. It’s time for coffee and holiday cookies. I might even get a chance to read my book.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, here for the early early bird special. I'm going to have the roast beef platter with mashed potatoes, peas and lots of gravy. A dinner roll or two and a coca cola would be great. For dessert I'll have some brownies and an iced mocha. Aaah Igor that Christmas tree in the library is just a tad too close to the fire could we move it to the opposite corner. That's the ticket. I do love the stockings over the fire though. Hopefully we don't have any grinches coming to call. I haven't heard of any around these parts.

LindaK125

No grinches, Zzyyggy, but Santa came to visit! Of course, then we ate too many Christmas cookies. I asked Viktor to bring a cheese and fruit and veggie plate and a glass of iced tea for me. I think I need a break from all those cookies.

ReenieHJ

Oh yes, even *I* think I'm sugared out and that's darn near impossible.

Lots of ice cold water sounds good right now. And I'll just sit and people watch. I've always liked to people watch, imagining what they're like.

Ahhhhh, sitting back in the recliner, watching people. Watching Viktor. Wondering what happened to that Giraffe waitress in the roller blades. Oooh, that person has a delicious looking bacon cheeseburger over there. Ohhhh Viktor!!! Please could you bring me one too? Maybe if I order fries, she'll reappear.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, ReenieHJ I think I scared her away with the offer of a free plate of fries. I hope not. She was a good waitress. Linda the Santa in the cradle looks like how I feel some nights. On Sparkpeople Alumni on Facebook Santa is on a diet and we're suppose to leave him carrot sticks and water to munch on. I think the better alternative for him would be power bars to get him through the night. For dinner tonight I think I'll have the Fried Chicken platter with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a slice of Devil's food cake with chocolate ice cream and an iced mocha.

LindaK125

If we leave a trail of French fries do you think @PaperDoll_ will follow it? I bet she would prefer apple pie with vanilla ice cream smothered in caramel sauce. Oh, talking about sweet stuff, I made my mini gingerbread people. They’re really molasses ginger cookies. I made them for the little kids across the street and for my daughter-in-law. I had to eat some because some of them didn’t pass inspection. I had forgotten how sweet those little fat bombs are!

Gee, Zzyyggy, poor Santa. Is nothing sacrosanct? Look at all the stuff I miss because I don’t have Facebook.

I’m really tired tonight. I think I’ll just have a cup of tea and some carrot sticks (yeah, right) and take a nap in my recliner. Useless has already joined me in my recliner and is purring away.

PaperDoll_

*Looks around the cafe and has a seat.* I have a new job now. Giraffe pole dancing. It pays well. Okay.. fine… people throw nickels at me. But! The cafe is free and I’m hungry. Who’s the waitress here? I heard there were fries. 😋 Also, think they’d notice if I stayed the night and slept here? Rent is expensive and this new job isn’t covering it yet. I have a pillow and my own blanket. Maybe I’ll sleep in the supply closet. 🤔

ReenieHJ

@PaperDoll_ Maybe they'll add poles for dancing in this cafe?? When Santa visits we could talk him into showing off his long red underwear and smooth moves, maybe?

You could always barter for a place to stay? Nickels aren't going to pay much are they? Maybe you ought to up your pole-dancing routine. Just sayin.....

Not sure if there is a new waitress in town. Usually we holler at Viktor and ignore his bad shoes. I've also been known to pick up a party tray on the way to the table. But don't tell anyone.

I'm craving a cheesy veggie omelet this a.m. With crispy hash browns. No sugar for me today.

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, welcome back Paperdoll. There are rooms upstairs that would rival the finest 5 star hotel. And best of all they are free. Linda you don't miss much not having facebook. Sometimes I think I'll give it up but I like the support from a couple of the groups I'm in. For dinner tonight I think I'll have the meatloaf platter with lots of mashed potatoes and gravy. Corn on the cob with that, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have the assorted mini cupcakes and an iced mocha.
