So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

LindaK125

Good evening! Viktor, I’ll have a cafe mocha, please. @ReenieHJ — that’s some breakfast order. I might have to preorder that now for tomorrow morning. Zzyyggy, I haven’t had swordfish in a long time. That sounds yummy, too. I can’t possibly be hungry, still, everything sounds good.

LindaK125

Beautiful morning for a swim at the cybercafe. Zzyyggy, I’m loving the indoor pool. Spent some time in the pool this morning and now that I’ve dried off, I’m ready for breakfast. The pool’s cafe is right in front of some of those wonderful floor to ceiling windows, so I have a lovely scenic view. I see Viktor has my table all ready set up with a carafe of my favorite Cafe Domingo and my veggie pizza and apple crisp should be put shortly. A little whipped cream on the apple crisp, please.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies. Sorry ReneeiHJ, your comment must have come in after I posted because I didn't see it there, either that or I wasn't paying attention. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a huge cheeseburger with onion rings and a root beer. For dessert I'll have the banana split and an iced mocha. Linda may I join you at your table. What a great view.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, just so you know, I haven’t spent all day at the indoor pool. It was so lovely this morning, I had to return. The view is spectacular. Look at those stars. Francois made me chicken fried steak with onions and tomatoes, green beans, and a side of macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. Yum! Viktor is bringing my dessert out—coffee and a slice of ginger cake topped with sweet orange whipped cream.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I knew that, but what fun that would be spending the day at the cyber pool, reading in the lounge chairs and enjoying the warm sun instead of the freezing cold weather we're having here in the real world. I'm going for spaghetti and meatballs with lots of garlic bread and butter, and a coca cola with that. For dessert I'll have some brownies, and an iced mocha. We had sunshine today lots of it but it was deceiving, got outside and it was cold out there brrrrrrrrrr

LindaK125

I love our winter weather because, while we have snow and/or ice once in a while, it’s mostly mild weather. It’s the summer I dread. I could do with a snow storm at least once a winter, though. Viktor should be by with a hot chocolate and some iced brownies for me. I’m sure he’ll have more iced mocha and brownies for you, Zzyyggy, as well as whatever anyone else wants.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I am in the mood for comfort food so I'll have the macaroni and cheese dinner with lots of bread and butter. For dessert I'm going to have chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I think I'll go for a dip in the cyber pool first though.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, macaroni and cheese is the best comfort food, however sometimes I need breakfast for dinner. Viktor, I’ll have the Sunnyside Breakfast special. That’s two eggs over easy, turkey sausage patties, cheesy hash brown potato casserole, grits, orange slices, biscuits with butter and honey, and coffee, please. I might just have a chocolate chip cookie or two for dessert.

It warmed up today and it’s raining again. It would be great we could consistently get enough rain every week to pull us out of the drought we in.

Thank you, @zzyyggy for the invitation. I got the best seat in the house to watch the sunset by the pool.

As I sip my pina colada, I anxiously await my appetizer of coconut shrimp. It's worth the wait. The spicy mango dipping sauce is lovely. So thick and rich...

My husband and our bffs arrive and we order King crab legs with drawn butter and a lemon wedge. Scalloped potatoes are a wonderful, creamy cheesy accompaniment and asparagus frites with garlic aioli.

The Cafe makes carrot cake just for me with no cinnamon (allergic) and Millionaire pie, a favorite since childhood. They serve the cake ala mode and with whipped cream, and then sprinkle freshly toasted coconut. It's beautiful.

As a former waitress myself, I leave a big tip for our sweet and stressed waitress who is very skilled at her job. 😘

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, Welcome to the Cyber cafe Wingmen2. Linda wish I could help out with the rain, but our stuff falling from the sky is either ice or sleet lately not sure how much good that will do. Woke up to really icy sidewalks again this morning. Thank goodness for SSTA. I would have never made it to the bus stop. No walking outside again today. I'll go for a swim in the cyber pool this evening. In the real world I did 30 minutes of Leslie Sansone walk at home tape. For dinner tonight I think I'll have grilled pork chops with mashed potatoes peas and lots of gravy. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some brownies and an iced mocha.

LindaK125

Hello @wingmen2. Those scalloped potatoes sounded so good, I added them to my order when I had dinner earlier. Francois made Peruvian rotisserie chicken and I added a salad, too. Viktor always finds the perfect wine for my meal. I’m definitely ready to sit by the fire in my recliner with my bunny slippers on. It’s cold out there. Not as cold as Vermont, Zzyyggy. Still, it’s in the 30’s and will be around 27 degrees tomorrow morning.

Viktor, I’m ready for dessert. I’d like a butterscotch brownie with sautéed apples in caramel sauce, please.

ReenieHJ

-8 right now. I'm not going anywhere unless it's just in my fantasy, which this cafe is perfect for that.

Since I just had my morning cuppa coffee, I'd love some steaming hot chocolate with marshmallows on top, along with some cream cheese apple coffee cake fresh out of the oven, please and thank you. I'll just sit under this fleece blanket and enjoy watching the birds at all the feeders. Until April or May.

Zzyyggy

Hi ReenieHJ, yes the cyber cafe is a perfect escape from the cold weather. It's minus 2 right now but colder out there with that wind. Brrrrrr. For dinner tonight I'll have a huge cheeseburger with french fries, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie and an iced mocha. I think I'll move into the cyber cafe for the rest of this cold weather, and hang out by the indoor pool.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’d love a cup of tea with lemon and honey. My throat has been scratchy because of allergies. It’s 27degrees at the moment (that’s cold for Charlotte). Last week was unseasonably warm, we had some rain, and the grass even started growing. I don’t know what it is I’m reacting to, but I’ve got my mouthwash and vitamins all lined up. Now I need to make sure I get a good night’s sleep—that’s why I’m here at the cybercafe. Tea and a nice piece of apple pie will surely help me sleep or at least have sweet dreams. Ha, if I did that in the real world it would probably keep me up all night. Ah, see, that’s the secret of the cybercafe. I can lie in bed and picture myself by the fire at the cafe with my evening snack and fall right to sleep. Sweet dreams all.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, hope you slept well. I'm in the mood for fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and biscuits with lots of butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. Had the real mocha this morning at Starbucks only had it hot. Way to cold for iced the last two days.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy! I see you’re still having dessert. I’ll join you. I was in the cybercafe’s kitchen with Francois having a bowl of chicken vegetable soup and some biscuits. It’s a cold night and sitting by the fire with friends and a cup of coffee sounds good. Viktor mentioned something about bringing an assortment of rugelach out for dessert. I’m willing to share.

We’re supposed to get snow on Sunday, maybe. Everyone is all excited and the local news tells us to prepare. Of course, whether we get snow or ice depends how the storm system moves across the country and it’s just too early to predict. Only the highways and sections of road where fatal accidents have occurred get treated with salt. Basically, when it snows or ices, you stay home until it melts. We don’t do snow.

LindaK125

Happy Thursday! Um, Zzyyggy, it looks like you’re in for a bit of weather. Cold and wind—the wind gives you that extra bonus, sending the temperature into minus double digits. You’re going to have to move into the Inn at The Cybercafe for the weekend. Luckily, by Monday it warms up into the high 20’s so you can have snow! How exciting! Apparently, Charlotte is getting a wintry mix on Sunday and we’ll have to be on the lookout for black ice for the next week. Yup, not going anywhere for awhile.

Might as well order dinner now. Viktor, I’ll start with a salad and a glass of wine Pinot now. I’ll have the chicken vegetable soup again. Francois made cheese biscuits. Those will be perfect with the soup. Later this evening I’ll have apple crumble pie and coffee for dessert. Thanks, Viktor.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm with you yup not going anywhere this weekend. I'll be going swimming tomorrow morning, but that's it. Our snow isn't coming until Monday though, but it's going to be cold out there this weekend. I may just move into the Cyber Cafe. In the real world I'll just stay inside, crank up the heat and pull out the blankets, and my warm bunny slippers. For dinner tonight I'll have the rotisserie chicken with potato salad, and green beans, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. Maybe I'll make some chocolate chip cookies over the weekend to keep the place warm. I wish I had remembered to take my turkey out of the freezer, that would have warmed up the place on a Sunday. Before dinner tonight I think I'll go for a dip in the pool, and then have dinner in the indoor pool room.

LindaK125

It’s a good morning. Francois made croissants this morning. We might even see @NVintage here for croissants and coffee. Viktor just took my order. I had to order a croissant with my omelet this morning. I couldn’t resist. Igor has a fire going in the fireplace this morning. It’s lovely.

ReenieHJ

Yeh, thinking ahead to our coming weekend cold snap, I wish I could train my dogs to use the bathroom inside. But I'm sure even they won't want to spend much time out there. I'd prefer shoveling snow. to finger numbing weather.

Could I have some warm soft chewy peanut butter cookies for breakfast? Those are one of my weaknesses, along with ice cream but brrrr..... Just a plateful with some milk please. I'll share if anyone's in the mood for a dessert breakfast.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, both breakfasts sound great. I think I'll have both for dinner tonight with some hot chicken soup and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some more of those peanut butter cookies and an iced mocha. Not going anywhere near outside this weekend. Hibernating until Tuesday. Not even sticking my nose out the door.

LindaK125

Oh, hey, I see you two came back in to sit by the fire and have some more cookies. Sorry about the pajamas. I was upstairs in my room here at The Inn at the Cybercafe and I got all comfy in my pajamas and my fuzzy bunny slippers and decided I wanted to sit by the fire. Milk and cookies sound good. I’m going to have some cherry almond cookies. 😋

ReenieHJ

-12 this a.m. Staying in here by the fire, it's so nice and toasty, perfect atmosphere. I'm in the mood for making S'mores right now. Ooey, gooey and chocolatey. Bring it on please?!

And looking at the moon through the window makes everything feel so enchanting.

I think I'll be back at lunch time for some grilled cheddar and apple sandwiches and some hot chocolate with whipped cream.

LindaK125

@ReenieHJ — loved your sandwich order! Viktor, I’ll have what she’s having. I think ginger molasses cookies would pair well with the hot chocolate. It’s time for an afternoon nap. That way I can stay up late to see if we get any snow before the ice moves in at 3:00 am tomorrow morning.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, only -7 degrees here this morning. Although I woke up without heat in my apartment. Called the emergency number and our maintenance guy got back to me. He came a little while later and checked it, rebooting it. He also left me a space heater which has worked wonders. I wonder if I could hide it in the closet when he comes back and say someone stoled it. Nah maybe not, The heat has been slowly climbing back up and is 71 now inside. The fire at the cyber cafe feels really good. I'm going to have a roast beef sub with the works, and lots of cheddar cheese. Potato chips and a coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a giant chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. So today and tomorrow we go through the cold, and then it's snow tomorrow and Monday. We may get ice as well fun fun fun.

LindaK125

Whoa, -7 degrees and no heat sounds miserable. Well, the ice storm cometh. Hope none of us lose power. I checked my forecast and it looks like it might snow next weekend. Maybe. In the meantime, I’ll order the baked ravioli Francois made. No one makes garlic bread like Francois. The cybercafe does it the best. I’ve been nibbling from the antipasto platter and enjoying my Sapphire martini. For dessert an espresso with a twist of lemon and cannoli like Mama used to make.

ReenieHJ

@Zzyyggy Hope your heat is on and running top notch now!! Be careful out there the next few days. It's brutally cold this a.m. and we'll be shoveling our way out of tons of snow later. Best to sit back, feet up, and watch the blizzard through the windows of the cafe. And be served by the finest of the fantasy chefs here.

@LindaK125, you stay safe as well, being in a state that's probably not as well prepared as northerners are, for snow and ice. I'm hoping my dd in Winston-Salem area, is allowed to WFH for a couple days, JIC. Hope nobody loses power and everybody here stays safe.

Breakfast, a nice hot breakfast sounds good right now. Being waited on sounds good too. I'd like a hot fluffy very cheesy omelet, stuffed with mushrooms, lots of cheese, onions, peppers and spinach, more cheese, along with hash browns, homemade toast slathered with real butter, and a good piping hot cup of Green Mountain Roaster's. And don't hold back on the cheese please Viktor!

I'll see you all at dinnertime tonight because I'm sure I won't be able to do more than waddle until then.

Stay safe!

LindaK125

We got snow, ice, and rain, and snow, and ice. The trees are glistening and the roads are frozen and I’m not sure, but it looks like there’s at least half an inch of frozen stuff on the driveway. I’m not going out to check, though. We still have power. Yeah! By noon tomorrow it will start to thaw out. Heads up, the storm is coming your way.

Viktor, I’d like smoked chicken with Alabama white BBQ sauce, broccoli casserole, coleslaw, and biscuits, please. Francois and I made chocolate chip cookies this afternoon. I added coconut, cranberries, and pecans to half of them. Can’t wait to have some for dessert.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, Reeniehj, the heat is back on and I'm comfortable. Haven't stepped foot outside in the last couple of days though it did look really beautiful. Linda I wouldn't go out either. Hopefully we get more snow then ice up here. I hate ice. I'm not planning on going anywhere tomorrow either. Just did a Leslie Sansone walk at home tape where it's nice and warm inside. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a big plate of Lasagna, garlic bread and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. Hope everyone is safe and warm.

ReenieHJ

I just popped in for the cookies. I'm such a cookie monster, never met a cookie I didn't like. Well except Fig Newtons. But if there are any of Linda's cookies left over, I'd love a couple with a glass of milk, please. They sound amazing.
