So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, Coming in for the early bird special. I'm going to have the fried scallops, french fries, and a coca cola with cole slaw. For dessert I'll have a brownie, and an iced mocha. I think I'll have dinner out on the terrace tonight.

LindaK125

Hey, Zzyyggy. A brownie sounds good. Here’s Viktor now so I can order a brownie and an iced mocha for myself. I’m going to have my brownie with chocolate chip mint ice cream and warm, not hot, fudge sauce topped with whipped cream and mini M&M’s and some maraschino cherries. I have extra M&M’s in case I need more.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, here for another early bird special. I'm going to have the porter house steak cooked on the grill with a baked potato, salad, and dinner rolls. A coca cola with all that. For dessert I'm going to have a slice of devil's food cake with chocolate ice cream in chocolate sauce, and an iced mocha. Did I say I was in need of chocolate therapy. That should do it. I think I'll go for a swim before dinner, and then have dinner on the terrace.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have what Zzyyggy’s having, please. I’m going swimming before dinner, too. Luckily, I made it here early for once.

If you need more chocolate, Zzyyggy, you can have M&M’s. I’ve got more than enough to share.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, oooh chocolate, I'm going to have the roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, and dinner rolls, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'm going to eat on the terrace and watched the sunrise.

LindaK125

Here Zzyyggy, I ordered a plate of chocolate chocolate chip cookies. I’ll gladly share. After I finish my tea and cookies I’m heading to bed. Perhaps we could have a nice cold day with temperatures below freezing in the morning and a light snow in the afternoon tomorrow.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, that sounds like a great idea. A snow storm tonight in the cyber cafe with 32 degree temps. A quick swim in the indoor pool as the snow comes down outside, and dinner. I'll have a bowl of beef stew with lots of bread and butter for dipping. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I love watching it snow. Especially while eating cookies, and an iced mocha.

LindaK125

Oh, it’s been a wonderful day at the cybercafe. The beef stew for dinner was delicious. I’m going to sit out on the back porch while I drink a cup of hot chocolate and watch the snow, then come inside by the fire to warm up. And for dessert a bowl of hot caramel apple crisp with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream would be perfect.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, while we still have snow I'm going cross country skiing on the well groomed trails of the cyber cafe, and then skate around on the outdoor pool while it's still frozen over. The sun is out shining on our winter wonderland. For dinner tonight lets do hotdogs cooked on the grill with baked beans, and corn on the cob. A coca cola and lots of butter with that corn on the cob. For dessert I'm going to have some apple crisp and vanilla ice cream with an iced mocha. I'll enjoy that in the dining room watching the acquarium.

LindaK125

What a great day for cross country skiing! I’m starving and I’m ready to eat a nice bowl of minestrone served with warm crusty bread. The baked beans and corn sound good, Zzyyggy, and I’ll definitely have some. Hotdogs, on the other hand, have never been a favorite of mine, even when I was young. When our son was old enough to learn how to cook on the grill he decided to make hotdogs. Everyday 😟. I thought I should try one, after all, tastes change. Later that night I was so sick I decided it was all right if I died. That was 35 years ago. I’m not ready to try hotdogs again, not even at the cybercafe. More than you wanted to know, eh? I have a nephew and two nieces who have the same problem with hotdogs and other foods, as well. Apparently, it’s a food intolerance of some sort. Very annoying, that.

Warm caramel apple crisp with vanilla ice cream with my coffee for dessert sounds wonderful. After we finish dinner and enjoy the aquarium, I’m heading into the Club Room to read by the fire. It’s getting windy and it’s starting to snow. It’s going to be cold tonight at the cybercafe and an evening in front of the fire would be lovely.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, yeah I'm the same way now with potato chips and any fried potatoes. I get really sick after eating them. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the spaghetti and meatball platter with garlic bread and a salad with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. Are we finished with Winter yet? How about another blizzard to watch as we stay safely warm inside by the fire?

LindaK125

Look at that blizzard out there! I think it’s almost a complete whiteout. The fire sure is wonderful. It’s a good night for a nice hot cup of cocoa. That will go well with a plate of cookies. I ordered an assortment of cookies. The chocolate wafers are delicious. Mm, ginger molasses cookies.

Zzyyggy, as far as I’m concerned, we can have winter weather all summer long. With the high temperatures and the high humidity I need a place to cool off and relax.

LindaK125

Happy Thursday. Viktor what’s on the menu today? I’m really hungry but I don’t have any imagination this afternoon. Maybe I’ll take a nap and then I can decide. An apricot ginger scone and an iced tea first, before my nap.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I think I'm with you on the Winter at the Cyber Cafe. We're finally having good weather in the real world so a little winter wouldn't be too bad. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the fried chicken platter with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. Dinner rolls with lots of butter and a coca cola please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I just love sitting here watching it snow.

LindaK125

Zzyyggy, hi! I ended up having macaroni and cheese and bowl of bean soup for dinner because that’s what caught my eye when I walked through the cybercafe kitchen. I love watching Francois prepare dinner because I get to taste lots of different things. I’m going to sit and watch the snow with you and eat my dessert. Francois made chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce and topped with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. That will be perfect with an iced mocha.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, here for the early bird special. I'm going to have the fried scallops special with french fries and coleslaw. Lots of tarter sauce, and a coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a vanilla chocolate creamy and an iced mocha. Wow our Blizzard is really raging tonight. It's a good thing it's not in the real world. We're safe and snug in the cyber cafe watching it though.

LindaK125

Viktor, the scallops with fries and coleslaw sound delicious. I’d like my scallops broiled, please. Now that you’ve mentioned blizzards, Zzyyggy, I’ve decided I must have a Heath Bar Blizzard with M&M’s for dessert. I can watch the blizzard and eat it, too. 🙃

Here in the Charlotte area the weather is supposed to be cooler tomorrow. A nice ten degrees cooler in the mid 80’s—what a welcome change.

LindaK125

It’s a lovely winter day at the cybercafe. It’s also a gorgeous day in the Charlotte area. Still hot at 85 degrees, but cooler than it’s been and a whole lot less humid. Still enjoying the snowy weather at the cybercafe. With at least two and a half more months of summer, it’s nice to have a little bit of winter. After spending the afternoon hiking in the snow and building a snow house, I’m ready to sit in my recliner and relax.

I ordered the low country boil with Francois cheesy jalapeño cornbread for dinner. Later this evening while I sit by the fire, I’ll have a brownie iced with vanilla buttercream and coffee.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, it's been a cloudy, dark, and dreary day here today. I could use some sunshine so it's back to the tropical weather for the cy ber cafe. Tonight for dinner I'm going to have the large porter house steak with baked potato, and a salad. For dessert I'll have some apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha.

LindaK125

Um, well Zzyyggy, it’s good you’re on the tropical side of the cybercafe. I’m still eating my low country boil and watching the snowfall on the north side of the cybercafe. Charlotte, North Carolina is considered subtropical, so I’m not missing out on hot, humid weather.

Viktor, thanks for bringing out a pot of coffee and some sweet cornbread mini muffins. Mm, warm cornbread muffins with butter are so good.

LindaK125

Welcome to Sunday at the Cybercafe. Sunday brunch was delicious this morning. I was glad it was ready at 6:00 am. Francois served crab cakes at noon and I had a fresh garden salad and berries. Since we’re back to summer I’ve ordered an afternoon snack: a fruit and cheese plate. Viktor is making an iced tea with scoops of lemon sorbet which is a favorite of mine.

In the real world we were having a nice sunny, 84 degrees summer day this morning. Then around 1:00 pm we got 1.45 inches of rain in 20 minutes and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. Now the sun is shining again and the humidity is over 90%. It feels steamy outside. It rained so hard that the hedgerow by the creek flooded and all the leaves have been washed downstream. We’re supposed to get another thunderstorm in about 15 minutes.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, We're having a perfect summer day here in the real world. Lots of sunshine. Everyone and their uncle have been out walking. I got in a walk earlier this morning. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the french onion soup with lots of bread for dipping, and cheese on top. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. I'll enjoy it out by the pool after going for a swim.

LindaK125

Mm, these chocolate chip cookies are good!

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, nothing like homemade chocolate chip cookies. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the quarter pounder with cheese from you know where, and those yummy fries, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have one of their chocolate vanilla creamies, and an iced mocha. It's so nice that Francois knows how to make everything like that.

LindaK125

Yes, Zzyyggy, Francois is incredible, isn’t he? It’s a macaroni and cheese day for me and I want mine with lots of vegetables. I guess that would almost make it pasta primavera, except that I want lots of cheese. An iced mocha and chocolate chip monster cookies would be perfect for dessert. We can sit out on the terrace under the trees and enjoy the the evening

I like my homemade chocolate chip cookies with dried cranberries, dried cherries, or dried blueberries and sweetened flaked coconut and chopped pecans. I only make them at Christmas though. I’m not sure what I’ll be baking during the holidays this year. I haven’t been eating sweets or bread at all since the middle of May. Sweetie, of course, has lost more weight than I have. I think it’s grossly unfair that men lose weight faster than women. Plus, I’ve been losing half a pound a week for the last three weeks and it’s driving me crazy.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, no it isn't fair. Men seem to eat what they want, and lose what they want. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a roast beef grinder with cheese, and the works. A bag of chips and coca cola with that. For dessert I'm going to have a huge chocolate chip cookie and an iced mocha. I think I'll eat it out on the terrace.

LindaK125

Viktor, I’ll have what Zzyyggy’s having for dinner, please. I’d like a big piece of double chocolate grasshopper ice cream pie for dessert.

Hey, Zzyyggy, it’s nice and cool out here on the terrace this evening. Cool meaning in the low 70’s.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, I am starving tonight. I'm going to have the bucket of fried chicken from you know where, original recipe with the mashed potatoes, gravy, lots of biscuits, and corn on the cob. Lots of butter for those biscuits and corn on the cob, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some brownies and an iced mocha. It's nice and cool out here on the terrace tonight as well with a nice cool breeze blowing. I'll even share my bucket of chicken and sides.

LindaK125

Thanks for sharing your bucket, Zzyyggy! Mm, I think I’ll have another biscuit with butter and raspberry jam. Coffee and biscuits for dessert, yum. I’ll have to ask Viktor for some whipped cream, too.

I got new eyeglasses today. I didn’t realize how bad my old eyeglasses were. Everything looks much clearer now. I ordered new sunglasses, too, however, the lenses weren’t cut properly so it will be another couple of weeks before I get them. Unfortunately, they have my old frames. I wasn’t willing to give them up, I really like those frames.

Sweetie fell asleep in his chair. I don’t know how he does that. We don’t have recliners and while the chairs are nice comfortable wing chairs, it would hurt my neck and shoulders to fall asleep sitting up. I’ve never been able to fall asleep while reading or watching tv. Then again, Sweetie can fall asleep anywhere. He’ll take a ten minute nap and be completely refreshed. The only time I can fall asleep sitting up is when I’m sick, sedated, or when I’ve taken Benadryl.

Zzyyggy

Hi Linda, Yup that's me too. I have a hard time sleeping some nights as well. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the old fashion cheese and beef fondue. Francois has set up the pots with beef, chicken, or veggies, and the same with different kinds of bread for the cheese fondue. Remember those old fondue nights? I'll have mine with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have strawberry shortcake and an iced mocha.
