So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

ReenieHJ

Oooh we had a t-storm as well but it wasn't as rip-roaring as yours must've been, Zzyyggy. I love a good thunderstorm myself. Maybe we can all sit by the windows tonight and watch them pass through.

I'm kind of hungry tonight. I haven't had a good cheesy veggie pizza in awhile with some cheesy breadsticks and sauce for dipping. For dessert could I please have a right-out-of-the-oven brownie filled with chocolate chips and topped with peanut butter ice cream? Just plain old cold water to drink. I'd be happy.

I hope you're all feeling good tonight!

LindaK125

Viktor! I’m having what they’re having! Except for dessert. Chocolate chip cookies ice cream sandwich with mocha chip ice cream for me, please.

Zzyyggy, I like thunderstorms, too and I agree it’s better to watch them when you’re inside! The perfect place to watch a thunderstorm is the cybercafe’s indoor pool. It has those huge windows and we can have Igor and Jorge (Viktor’s brother, who knew?) set our recliners up. We don’t want to be too far from the indoor pool’s mini cafe. @NavyCurls —we’ll see you there.

NavyCurls

@ReenieHJ - I love thunder storm as well. We don't typically have very many, and the ones we do pass through the night. So, I'll be there.

Viktor - Chicken fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, garlic bread, a side salad with ranch dressing, and a large, cold Dr. Pepper. For desert, a lemon bar.

This is going to be a good night. Especially after a long week at school, dealing with professors!!!

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, we had a little bit of a cool down its 56 degrees right now with a chilly wind blowing. It's also cloudy out there but no rain today. Alright we'll conjur up a thunderstorm or two tonight to watch. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a roast beef grinder with chips and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a couple of klondike bars and an iced mocha. I think I'll go for a swim in the cyber pool first though.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, I have a feeling that I’m going to be wishing for chilly, windy weather on Friday when it’s supposed to be 96 degrees in Charlotte. We had a beautiful 84 degrees today with 30–34% humidity today. (Finally a good hair day.) Wouldn’t that be wonderful in the middle of August—our warmest weather. It’s probably starting to cool off in the middle of August in Vermont.

I’m going to join you at the indoor cyber pool for another stormy night. I think I’ll go for a swim first, too, and then have seafood salad on a croissant with chips and a Dr. Pepper. Francois made brownie crust ice cream cakes. I ordered the coffee ice cream, slathered with fudge sauce and whipped cream, sprinkled with chocolate covered espresso beans. I’ll add some M&M’s from my stash, because everything is better with M&M’s.

NavyCurls

@LindaK125 Come on over. It'll be in the high 60s on Friday, High 60s to low 80s for the next week and a half.

As long as the pool's heated, I'm happy. Viktor - breakfast burrito, please?

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone. I'm pooped tonight. Our elevator was down and I just walked up five flights of stairs. That was after a 45 minute walk outside. Fortunately my brother-in-law came over and helped me with my stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't have made it. So for dinner tonight I'm going to start off with a huge glass of ice water, and then coca cola. Proceed to a prime rib dinner with baked potato, salad and another coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chocolate sauce and an extra large iced mocha. I think that should satisfy my thirst. Linda today here in the real world would have been perfect for you. Gorgeous day sunny wise with a cold wind blowing, but no humidity so a good hair day. Navycurls, the indoor pool is always heated to a comfortable 82 degrees or however warm you might like it.

LindaK125

@NavyCurls —zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip, I’ll be right there! Zzyyggy! If I had to walk five flights of stairs I’d have to wait until the elevator was repaired or move to the first floor. My knees are bad. Friday I’ll be getting synvisc shots for both knees. Hoping it helps for a bit.

Viktor, I’m ready for dessert. It’s been a long day and last night’s dessert is still calling to me. Yup, the ice cream cake with the brownie crust, coffee ice cream slathered with chocolate fudge sauce and then whipped cream, sprinkled with chocolate covered espresso beans, please. And I can’t find my bucket of M&M’s. Despair.

NavyCurls

@LindaK125 - I got you, girl. One giant vat of M&Ms coming right up!

I'd be out of breath doing 5 stairs, it may hurt. I run out of breathe walking up a hill to the parking structure at work.

Viktor - HoneyNut Cheerios with 2% milk, a bowl of red grapes, strawberry halves and cantaloupe, and a plain bagel with cream cheese, please, and a large cold cup of OJ, no pulp.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm still tired from last night's stair climb; I'm surprised I did it. I would have had a long wait though. They didn't get the elevator fixed until earlier this afternoon. For tonight's dinner I'm going to have some macaroni and cheese with garlic bread and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some of Betty Crocker's Better then Anything Cake and an iced mocha. Got all my laundry done today it's a good thing the washer/dryer are on the same floor. I'm still tired though.

thatbeautifulchick

Hello all, just wanted to pop in and maybe share some laughs and non calorie food lol, I'm new here. I did mfp years ago, lost 88 pounds, gained all but 20 back. This is week one and I'm down 8 pounds . . .I think that deserves some bacon and maybe little Debbie snacks lol

LindaK125

Mmmphf. . . Sorry Viktor, I had to finish chewing some M&M’s. @NavyCurls really came through and sent me a huge amount of M&M’s. That should last for a good bit. The macaroni and cheese was wonderful, as always. I’d like to order dessert now, please. No, the M&M’s were a, hmm, a palette cleanser. Zzyyggy’s choice of the Better Than Anything Cake would be perfect with a glass of iced tea. Thank you, Viktor.

Zzyyggy, at least you didn’t have to make the elevator a tiny house for the night! I got three loads of laundry done today, too. I saved the towels for last. That way I don’t have to fold them until tomorrow.

@thatbeautifulchick , welcome to the cybercafe! Your order will always be right out. Viktor is the most wonderful waiter and Francois, our world famous chef, can make anything, anyway you like it. Jorge, Viktor’s brother, does a wonderful massage, and Igor decorates for every occasion. I think I might order bacon and eggs and Little Debbie snacks for breakfast tomorrow.

NavyCurls

I just found out a co-worker climbs 19 flights of stairs in 10 minutes, multiple times a day. All while talking to the field crew. I was like “show-off” lol

Viktor - from ColdStone Creamory, a large vanilla ice cream with Reece’s PB cups smooshed in, with carmel, please. And a large hot chocolate, milk based.

ReenieHJ

Memorial Day is coming up soon. Is it too early to fire up the grill and get out all the salads? If not, I'd love a bacon cheeseburger with all the fixings, potato salad, macaroni salad, crispy cold watermelon, and a tall icy diet coke. Then a make-your-own sundae would be the piece de resistance. Yummm!

@LindaK125 Good luck with your knees.
Have a great weekend everyone!

LindaK125

Nineteen fights of stairs. @NavyCurls that is just wrong. Ten minutes. No. I’d be crying after two or three flights. Mercy.

@ReenieHJ it is never too early to celebrate! Besides, I noticed that Zzyyggy and I have been ordering macaroni and cheese far too often. Time for a change! Grills and smokers at the ready. I can’t wait for some smoked barbecue chicken with Alabama sauce. I’m going to help in the kitchen and make my pasta salad with tons of veggies, pepperoni, ham, and cheese, dressed with a Greek vinaigrette. Does that qualify as macaroni and cheese? Viktor promises to have Cheerwine (sort of like cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper, but better). Make-your-own sundae sounds wonderful, but let’s not forget s’mores after dark on the terrace.

This afternoon the festivities include live music and appetizers and drinks on the patio by the cyber pool. Viktor is making my favorite iced tea with mini scoops of lemon sorbet. Yum! I think I still have some chocolate mint in the garden for anyone who needs it. Mint + chocolate = delicious.

NavyCurls

@LindaK125 I told him the same - 3 flights, and I'm out of breathe.

Let's get the dancing started. This will be my workout for the day. For breakfast, I'll take a chorizo burrito with mixed fruit and OJ. For lunch, a mixed green leaf salad with grilled chicken, corn, cucumbers, carrot slivers, peas and ranch dressing with a Dr. Pepper. For dinner, Vince's spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread. For dessert, Cold Stone Creamery vanilla ice cream with Reece's PB cups smushed in and carmel sauce.

CarolAnnM2

I’ll have a glass of 🍷please. And can someone put the 🏈 game on the tv? You know what, add an order of Greek wings too! Thank you!

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, I am just too tired for anything tonight. Linda I love your idea of the grilled steaks count me in with baked potato and corn on the cob, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. It's never too early to grill at the cyber cafe. Carolannm2 welcome to the cyber cafe. I think I'll have dinner out here on the terrace. Hello to everyone else.

LindaK125

Whoa, Zzyyggy, I didn’t know you ordered a new big screen tv for the patio by the pool. Those football players look life size! @CarolAnnM2 won’t miss a play tonight. @ReenieHJ the grills are hot and the watermelon is cold.

Zzyyggy, I think the terrace will be a little quieter tonight, what with the football game on the big screen by the pool. Take a power nap so you won’t miss the s’mores later this evening. I plan on spending the weekend here at the cybercafe. It’s been a long week and I’m recovering from surgery. Nothing serious, but I’m cold all the time right now, so it was really nice to go outside in the heat. It got up to 92 degrees with a lovely breeze and low humidity. It felt wonderful

ReenieHJ

Oh no, I missed the s'mores? Maybe they'll have a repeat tonight, I even brought my own peanut butter cups to try with them. Some day I really will.

Supposed to be 90 here today and hot again tomorrow. Hubby is going golfing, sure hope he does okay, just 2 of them so they should finish a little quicker than usual.

@LindaK125 get well soon but in the meantime, enjoy sitting back, feet up, getting waited on at the café.

LindaK125

@ReenieHJ — I’d like to try making s’mores with caramel. I bet my husband, Sweetie, would love s’mores with peanut butter cups. It’s the holiday weekend and we’ll have s’mores every night at the cybercafe. For that matter, we can have s’mores anytime we want because this is the cybercafe. We’re going to have another hot day in Charlotte, too. I hope your hubby is golfing this morning. At least it will be cooler.

Viktor, I’d like a table out on the patio by the pool this morning. I see ReenieHJ is already out here. She won’t mind if I join her. Oh, Viktor, let me give you my order before I forget. I’ll have the fruit salad with watermelon, cantaloupe, and berries and Francois’ delicious apricot ginger scones and coffee, please.

ReenieHJ, thanks for your well wishes.

Zzyyggy

Hi ladies, wow is it ever hot around here. I have the AC on now and it's nice in the apartment. Just walked outside for a bit and it was hotter then you know where. For dinner tonight I'm going to have some barbecued chicken with potato salad and a coca cola. I'll join ReenieHJ and Linda on the terrace. First I'll go for a dip in the pool. Then dinner and then S'mores. I just love the plain ole chocolate ones. For dessert I'm going to have chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. Did I mention I needed chocolate?

NavyCurls

Hey ladies, hope all is well. @LindaK125 what do you need? I got you?

A weekend on the terrace sounds awesome. I may go back and forth between the game.

Viktor - for breakfast tomorrow, can I please get a bagel with cream cheese, a bowl of strawberry halves, grapes, and cantaloupe with a large cold glass of OJ. For lunch, can I please get teriyaki chicken, rice and mixed steamed veggies? For dinner, I’ll take a Santa Maria tri-tip, a loaded baked potato, a dinner roll with butter and a side salad with ranch dressing. For dessert, I’ll take a red velvet Nothing Bundt Cake.

LindaK125

Oh, the barbecue was wonderful tonight—the coleslaw, cheesy grits with sliced tomatoes, beans and greens, and the jalapeño cheddar cornbread were delicious. It’s a good thing I had dinner in the middle of the afternoon or I wouldn’t be able to have a bedtime snack! I told Viktor I needed chocolate and he suggested a glass of Cabernet with a few dark chocolate covered caramels. The perfect ending for the day. Useless and I are going to relax in my recliner. Viktor was sweet enough to bring Useless his favorite tuna cat treats so we’re both content.

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, I'm melting tonight. For dinner tonight I'd love a big ole cheeseburger with french fries, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. Its 88 degrees here today in the real world. And the clouds are rolling in for a late afternoon thunderstorm. I'm safely at home though in a nice cool apartment. I think I'll go for a swim in the cyber pool and then join Linda and Useless on the terrace. They look so cute curled up there.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, so sorry you’re melting. Tomorrow will be better, much cooler for you, somewhat cooler for me.

I kept thinking this was Memorial Day weekend. The good thing is that we can celebrate at the cybercafe for a whole other week now! Yeah! Gee, I must be even more tired than I thought. Sweetie had to point out the date to me. Of course, he chose to tell me at midnight last night. I remember him telling me, but I don’t think I truly woke up.

Useless has kept me company while I was reading Patricia McLinn’s latest book, “Cross Talk” in her Caught Dead In Wyoming series. I love this series. Anyway, I just finished the book and I’m ready for chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha of my own.

NavyCurls

Good morning, ladies.

Outside of the normal chores, I had a lazy weekend. Did almost nothing, other than what was absolutely necessary.

I'll be on the lanai with A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers a snuggie and my grandparent's Pomeranian, Cubbie. Grandfather loved all sports related teams from Chicago. Love the entire series. Viktor - a bagel with cream cheese, mixed fruit (you know what I like), and a large glass of cold OJ.

It'll be in the low 70s here in reality, but my cubicle has AC during the work week, so it will really be in the 60s.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have the nachos deluxe, extra guacamole and iced tea, please. Yes, a table by the pool. I’m going for a swim first.

@NavyCurls — Our grandson’s favorite football team is the Giants. I think it’s because they’re his uncle’s (DIL’s brother) favorite team. I thought he and his friends would be Panthers fans.

We had a thunderstorm early this afternoon ad the temperature dropped from 79 degrees to 70 degrees. It’s not bad if you can ignore the 80% humidity. Zzyyggy, I see your having a nice cool day in the low 60’s. Brr.

Zzyyggy

Hi everyone, Linda brrrr is right especially after yestarday with highs in 90s. There was also a cold north wind blowing. Navycurls enjoy the lanai. Tonight for dinner I'm going to have fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls and green beans with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'm pooped tonight.

ReenieHJ

Ooh a big hot bowl of creamy mashed potatoes, dripping with butter and peas, all smushed together. Followed by a huge chocolate topped custard filled eclair.


It's just what flitted through my fantasy brain at the moment. Have a wonderful day everybody! I hope the sun shines and the temps are perfect, no matter where you are.
