So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

LindaK125

Mm, just finishing my pumpkin pie here. Wow, Zzyyggy, what a great manager. That was really nice that you got your money back. Wonder whose coffee you paid for. Did you know there are Oreo pumpkin cookies? They’re vanilla cookies with pumpkin filling. Our daughter-in-law gave Sweetie some this afternoon. He says they’re pretty good. I’m sure there’s some Oreo pumpkin cookies in the kitchen here at the cybercafe. Maybe I’ll have some with an iced mocha while I read my book.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm pooped tonight from my swim. For dinner tonight I'm going to have some spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and butter and a salad. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. A day full of rain today, but we needed it. Thunderstorms in the afternoon. I think we should have a thunderstorm at the cyber cafe tonight. I'll conjur up a fierce one. No lightning strikes though.

LindaK125

Whew, that wind is really blowing out there Zzyyggy! Viktor is hanging up my raincoat for me. When you conjure a storm at the cybercafe, Zzyyggy, it’s a doozy. I’m glad Igor got the fire going, we need it tonight. The spaghetti dinner was delicious. I should have stayed by the fire afterwards, but I couldn’t find Useless so I ended up going out in the storm. I should have known that cat would find the barn and a warm place to snuggle down in. He’s sleeping with the goats and Jorge assured me that Useless had dinner and is settled for the night. I think a hot cup of coffee and apple cobbler will help warm me up.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, that was very brave of you to go out and look for Useless. I love conjuring up thunderstorms. We're having a rainstorm now in the real world. Just rain. I'm starving tonight. I think I'll have the fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans and a coca cola. Biscuits with lots of butter as well. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie, vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. Had the real mocha this morning when I got home after having my blood drawn. This was just the bottled Dunkin Donuts kind, but it's still good. A nice pleasant evening under the stars tonight at the cyber cafe.

LindaK125

Biscuits and that fresh made sweet apple pie filling and a ham and cheese omelet for me, Viktor. Thanks. Oh, and coffee, too, please.

Pass the butter, please Zzyyggy. I didn’t know Dunkin’ had bottled coffee drinks, but I haven’t been grocery shopping for a long time. I hope your blood draw was just for a yearly checkup. I loved the rain at the cybercafe last night. Looks like it could be two weeks before we see rain again. Of course, the storm gathering strength in the Atlantic just might send us some rain if it doesn’t turn away from the coast. We’ll have to see if it turns into Hurricane Fiona.

LindaK125

Ah, Viktor, coffee, please. I’ll wait to order breakfast for a bit. I can have my coffee and enjoy the view out the french doors.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, yes both Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts bottle their coffees. They are more expensive then getting them at the restaurants, but when you can't get to the restaurant they are good. I am starving, and want a big bowl of seafood chowder with lots of bread and butter for dipping. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a basket of devil's food cupcakes with chocolate frosting, and an iced mocha. I'm also tired tonight from my swim.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, I’m ready for macaroni and cheese tonight. Viktor took my order and promised to bring out a loaf of fresh baked crusty bread and lots of butter we can share. 😋 I didn’t get any birthday cake on my birthday and since it’s still my birthday month I’m going to order my favorite birthday cake: German chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing served with coffee and one scoop of vanilla ice cream and one scoop of chocolate ice cream. The ice cream will be in a separate bowl. I still have issues with certain foods touching.

I assume they’ve been selling bottled Dunkin’ coffees for years, I just never noticed. It’s not the sort of thing I pay attention to. Sweetie is the one who likes to buy treats, but now he mostly buys only what’s on the list and sweet treats don’t generally make the list. There are exceptions, of course. Holidays, grandson, and pumpkin pie come to mind. Do you know how much sodium is in pie dough! Yikes. I’m going to have to make pumpkin custard instead of pie. I wonder if pumpkin oatmeal is good.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, yes I do know how much sodium is in pie dough that's why I've cut down on my pies. Why is everything that tastes good bad for you? Well at least we can have all the bad food at the cyber cafe. I'll go for a huge bowl of macaroni and cheese with that loaf of bread that smells so good. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a slice of your birthday cake with chocolate ice cream. Happy birthday. And I'll have an iced mocha with that please. I had the real thing this morning from Starbuck's at Market32. That was good. Pumpkin oatmeal does sound good. Although pumpkin has never been one of my favorite flavors. I like apple cinnamon oatmeal.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, I made pumpkin oatmeal this morning. It was okay, but I think I’ll make pumpkin butter and then add it to my oatmeal. When you cook the pumpkin down it has a better flavor. Macaroni and cheese and birthday cake again sounds perfect to me. I might just sprinkle some mini M&M’s over my cake and ice cream. 😋

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm starved again tonight. I'm going to have a huge piece of prime rib with baked potato and butter. A salad and coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some brownies with an iced cafe mocha. With all this chilly weather my appetite has come back.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have the burrito Tijuana and Sweetie would like the torta asada. We’d like lots of tortilla chips and dips and iced tea to drink, please. Zzyyggy, I see you snagged a table by the fireplace, thanks for saving us a couple of chairs. Your prime rib looks good. You’re welcome to have some chips and dips. Francois is going to send us a brownie dessert tray with a variety of different brownies. I wonder if there’s any mint or caramel brownies.

We had a beautiful day here, Zzyyggy. The afternoons are supposed to be in the 90’s Tuesday through Thursday this coming week and then drop down to the low 80’s before going down into the 70’s. I can’t wait. Our nights have been much cooler. It’s beginning to feel like fall. The trees have even started to turn and my mums are starting to bloom.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, A yucky rainy day outside in the real world. I think I'll go for a swim in the cyber pool before dinner and have dinner outside on the terrace. I'm looking forward to the sunset. It's national cheeseburger day today so of course I'm going to have a cheese burger with onion rings and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. How about S'mores for sunset dessert?

LindaK125

Great cheeseburgers, Viktor. Thanks for the carafe of coffee. Mm, my favorite Peet’s Cafe Domingo with cream and sugar. Zzyyggy, I wonder if s’mores can be made with M&M’s. Mm, caramel M&M’s would be good. Maybe I could take a bowl of caramel swirl ice cream with chocolate fudge sauce, crumbled graham crackers, and toasted marshmallows and add caramel and plain M&M’s on top. Yes! Let’s toast some more marshmallows.

Did you know you can still access Spark Recipes? I can find more Chef Meg recipes. I loved her recipes, especially her cumin carrots and her chicken and lentil soup.

LindaK125

Hmm, Zzyyggy, I’m not finding Chef Meg’s recipes. They may be copyrighted by Spark? Don’t know.

Zzyyggy

You can go to People One Health and they may be there. I'm not fond of the sight it's hard to navigate. Maybe Betty has some recipes like that. Also try a Taste of Home, that's a good place, or SkinnyTaste that's another good website. There's also a spark people cookbook out. It might be on Amazon.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm starving again tonight. I'm going to have the meatloaf platter tonight with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. A basket of dinner rolls with that and lots of butter. Also a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. Had the real thing this morning from Starbucks. Went on a quick shopping trip and came right home afterword. I may start doing that more often.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have the apple ginger upside down cake and a pot of tea, please. I’m going to sit in my recliner by the fire and nap until it’s time for bed. Zzyyggy, I was just looking for Chef Meg’s videos and recipes. The Spark recipe website has some great recipes.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, try youtube for the videos. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a big platter of spaghetti and meatballs with lots of garlic bread and butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. I'm starved again tonight. It's just plain blah out there today weather wise. Thank god for the cyber sunshine.

LindaK125

Yup, Zzyyggy, you’re right. Lots of Meg Galvin videos. Also Spark still has all their exercise videos there, too. Nice. Mm, garlic bread. Oh, Viktor is bringing a fresh basket of garlic bread and an iced tea for me. Yum, the perfect bedtime snack.😉

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I'm starved again tonight. I'm going to have the bucket of fried chicken from KFC with mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn on the cob with lots of butter. I'll even share. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some brownies with an iced mocha.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, it’s the brownies I’m craving. Brownies with rolo candy baked into them and iced with chocolate and vanilla icing would be wonderful. I’m sure Viktor can find those in the kitchen for me and he’ll bring out coffee just the way I like it, too. I’ll definitely have sweet dreams tonight.

I’ve been trying to eat low sodium foods and the day ended and I didn’t have enough carbs so I got to eat a whole banana today. Living life on the edge here.

Zzyyggy

Wow Linda, hope you enjoyed it. Fortunately we have the Cyber Cafe to have everything we can't have in the real world, or can but it's too expensive. Tonight I'm going to have the porter house steak dinner with salad, and a baked potato lots of butter on that potato. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'm going to have the brownie with chocolate ice cream, and chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. Did I say I needed a chocolate fix? I do.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have what she’s having and coffee and chocolate covered apricots and M&M’s and chocolate covered espresso beans. Zzyyggy, I think I need a chocolate fix, too. I’m ready to sit in my recliner for the evening. I might even start a new book. The nights are starting to get chilly so I think a fire would be nice tonight. It’s great to visit the cybercafe.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, aaaaah the perfect 80 degree weather here at the cyber cafe with lots of sunshine. We had a really cold day today. I'm going for a swim in the pool. For dinner I'll have the fried scallop dinner with french fries and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have that Butterscotch pudding layer cake Betty had on the email and an iced mocha. I'm tired again.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, Betty’s chocolate cake looked yummy to me. Viktor’s bringing me a piece of cake and coffee. I see you got Igor to light a fire. It’s cold out there tonight.

LindaK125

Brr, when I woke up this morning it was 46 degrees outside. It’s 52 degrees now, fortunately Viktor has the fire going and my carafe of coffee was waiting on the table by the fireplace. Viktor has my breakfast omelet order and he just set a basket of mini pastries down. Mm, my favorite ginger scones and brown sugar pecan rugelach.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, For dinner tonight I'm going to have the prime rib dinner with baked potato, lots of butter and a salad. Coca cola with that please. For dessert I'm going to have the cafe's famous cinnamon bun and an iced mocha. Oh heck make that two buns. I've been craving them, but theres nowhere close by I can get them.

LindaK125

Oh, cinnamon buns and honey cakes! Just in time for Sunday Brunch at the Cybercafe. I’m ready for the early bird brunch. Viktor, my favorite waiter, has our table ready and there’s a carafe of coffee just the way I like it waiting for me on the table. I think I’ll read my book for awhile and play spider before I jangle my nerves reading the news, although I do want to check on that storm heading toward the Gulf of Mexico. Ian looks like it might be dangerous.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, Are you in the path of that storm? My brother who lives in Tampa saids he is, but he doesn't want to go to a shelter. I can't say as I blame him being in the same place with lots of strangers, but if it's safer. For dinner tonight I'm going to have mom's roast beef dinner with mashed potatos and gravy, dinner rolls, and green beans with that. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie, and an iced mocha. I'm pooped tonight after a long walk around Winooski.
