    Zzyyggy! How are you today? It’s been lovely and cold where I live, cool for you, of course. We barely got out of the 40’s, but by Monday the low 70’s are back for the week. I was ready for cold weather, but it wasn’t ready for me. I wonder if we’ll have snow this year. We can get snow in the Charlotte area, it just doesn’t hang around long. I might have to sit at a window at the cybercafe to watch the snowfall.

    Viktor, good to see you. I’ll have a chocolate espresso sundae, please, with a glass of iced black coffee.

    NVintage has the same idea as me. I’m ready for dessert. I’ll start with a sleeve of fig newtons and then have some of Betty’s pumpkin praline cake with coffee. I’ll take that at by the pool in the sun. It’s cold out today!

    Hi everyone, NVintage now thats a breakfast. I'm here for dinner. Since I can't have it in the real world anymore I'm going to order pizza tonight with the works, and extra cheese. Chicken wings and a coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a large slice of Devil's food cake with chocolate frosting and an iced mocha. I think I'll go for a swim before dinner. Hey Linda maybe we can conjure up a snow storm for you tomorrow for brunch. I love watching it snow too just not after the 5th or 6th snow storm.

    Mmmmm, if you magically conjure up snow, I'd like a premium cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows on top, please? Followed by a cheesy veggie omelet and homemade hash browns.
    Yummy brunch!

    Might just have to buy some spinach, mushrooms and cheese while I'm grocery shopping this a.m. :)

    I want what she having, please. Oh, and a mini pastry basket, too. The snow is lovely looking here at the cybercafe.

    Hi ladies, shakes off the snow as she enters. Been out cross country skiing and checking on the animals. Igor has made sure that they are well fed and watered during the storm. That cup of cocoa sounds good especially with the marshmellows involved. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the roasted chicken with stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some brownies and an iced mocha. This time change has me all messed up today and it was only an hour.

    Dinner was great, Zzyyggy. Francois makes the best stuffing. I’m ready for pumpkin pie with caramel swirl ice cream and a cup of coffee. Isn’t it wonderful to watch the snowfall while we relax in our recliners by the fireplace?

    I want this, please. But first I would like a brisket sammich, Franklin BBQ smoked method please, and thank ya.

    Oh, brisket! Brisket from my favorite BBQ place with all the sides: creamy slaw, cheesy grits greens and beans (with vinegar), jalapeño cornbread, sweet potato fries, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli casserole. Oh, I forgot the hash brown casserole. They have lemon icebox pie and seven layer chocolate cake for dessert. It’s all so much to eat—I’ll just nibble and anyone who wants to share, have a seat. There’s BBQ chicken, turkey, and pork, too.

    We’re having a spectacular day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the high 60’s at my house today—exactly the same weather at the cybercafe. The guys have the fire pits going out on the terrace, so it’s nice and toasty. The leaves are starting to fall, the sweet gum trees and hickory trees are yellow, the maples have orange tops. I can finally see autumn is finally here.

    Hi everyone, busy place here. Is the snow storm over yet, Can I go swimming? For dinner tonight I'm going to have macaroni and cheese with garlic bread and a coca cola. For dessert I'm going to have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with hot fudge sauce and and iced mocha. Did I mention I needed chocolate? But first a swim and then dinner on the terrace.

    Zzyyggy, the snowstorm at the cybercafe is definitely gone! Besides, we can always slip the weather dome over the pool and the terrace, so no matter what the weather is, it’s always warm and balmy under the dome. Now if you could convince the sea monster to get out of the pool, I would be happy. Apparently, the fun game this morning was dump the mouse off her sailboat. Not what I had planned.

    Now that I’ve dried off, I’m ready for lunch. Viktor, I’ll have a crab salad sandwich with tomato and lettuce on a croissant and a side of homemade potato chips with blue cheese dip. Thanks for the pitcher of iced tea. It’s a lovely day on the patio by the cyber pool.

    The guys are firing up the brick oven and the grills. Don’t forget to order your pizza, BBQ, or other grilled goodies early. I’m thinking grilled veggies and pizza for dinner.

    Hi Linda, I'm sorry you got dumped from the sailboat. Was it Igor or the Seamonster in the pool? Either one we'll have send to their corner. I could deffinitely go for some grilled steak, potatoes and corn on the cob with a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'll go for a swim first, and then eat.

    Not sure why but I'm in the mood for some moist yummy gingerbread this morning, topped with whipped cream. Maybe that gingerbread trifle I saw posted somewhere. Yep, a gingerbread trifle with extra spoons so we can all share.

    Slides up next to you and grabs a spoon (or two)

    Hi everyone, looks like we have a ginger bread club here. For dinner tonight I'm going to have a huge bucket of fried chicken from you know where the original recipe with mashed potatoes, and gravy, and those biscuits. I'll even share my bucket with whoever comes in. Corn on the cob with lots of butter and a coca cola with that please. For dessert I'm going to have The Chocolate Truffle crunch cake from Betty Crocker and an iced mocha. That looked so good on her email today.

    I’m stuffed! I ate too much chicken and stuffing casserole, and thanks for sharing your mashed potatoes and gravy, Zzyyggy. Then I found leftovers from the gingerbread trifle Reenie and Bellababy shared this morning. I think Francois always makes a little extra that doesn’t get served. Now you have to mention chocolate truffle crunch cake, Zzyyggy, and I can’t resist! Maybe just a little nibble. Or two nibbles.

    Viktor! I need a fork and some coffee, please.

    Zzyyggy, the sea monster must go, she ate my sail boat! I am NOT whining, Viktor.

    Hi Linda, Alright no more sea monster, but Igor may be upset. He was training it to do tricks for a midday show. I'll just have to get him another pet. For dinner tonight I'm going to have some spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and a coca cola. For dessert I'm going to have some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha. First a swim though.

    Hmm, I’ll have to make it up to Igor somehow. Perhaps we could relocate the sea monster to the cybercafe’s beachfront. I assume seawater would be better than chlorinated water for her. We can visit anytime.

    Viktor, I’d like a hot cup of cafe mocha to go with my premium selection of M&M’s, please. Time to get comfortable in my recliner in the cybercafe’s club room by the fireplace. I’ve got my bunny slippers on, my book to read, and Useless, the cat to share my seat with. Thanks for the tuna treats for Useless, Viktor.

    Do you really have a cat named Useless? That's priceless. :)

    Ooh what to have this morning?? I need my carbs and some more of the delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows. Please bring me a plate of your most delicious pastries to share?? Mix them up so there's something for everyone.

    Thank you so much!!

    And thanks for leaving the ugly shoes at home. :) They were very squeaky and distracting.

    Thanks for sharing your pastries, Reenie. No, Useless is not my cat, but it’s fun to go to the vet with Useless and they call his name out and the owner stands up and says, “That’s me.” And then she looks around and says, “He really is useless, but we love him a whole lot.” I have Mr. B and Little Miss, who is sometimes Little Misbehaving.

    It’s a bit chilly out on the terrace today, so I’m going to snag a booth by the front windows, overlooking the beach. Viktor, I’ll have iced tea and one of those lovely croissants with chicken salad with tomato and lettuce, please. Um, Viktor, are you wearing Birkenstock sandals?

    Hi everyone, I wish we were allowed pets where I lived. I would probably have a cat and a little dog by now. The Sea monster is now happily swimming offshore near the beach front. Igor goes down a couple times a day to train it for the show. That was a good idea Linda. I think the pool was a little to confining. For dinner tonight I'll have the fish n chips dinner with lots of tarter sauce and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a devil's food cupcake, with chocolate frosting and an iced mocha. Anyone up for s'mores for sunset dessert?
  • LindaK125
    LindaK125 Posts: 1,361 Member
    Zzyyggy, the s’mores were a great idea. I think I like the caramel s’mores the best, even better than raspberry s’mores. PB&J s’mores are pretty good. I bet mini M&M’s stuck into the melted marshmallows would be good. Mm, s’mores and hot chocolate are the best.

    Hi Linda. Man is it ever dark out there. It's been dark and dreary around here all day. I'll take even cyber sunshine. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the prime rib dinner with a baked potato and salad. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies and an iced mocha. I'm tired this evening as well. Maybe a swim in the cyber pool will rejuvenate me enough for dinner.

    LindaK125 Posts: 1,361 Member
    Hey, Zzyyggy. The sun sets almost an hour later for me, but it sure does get dark fast in the evening and the heat of the day doesn’t last, either. Time to sit by the fireplace at the cybercafe. I’m ready for a bowl of Spanish Lentil Stew. Francois made some crusty bread, too. Viktor said he’ll bring a loaf over to our table when he serves dinner. I saw the pumpkin praline pie in the dessert display case up front. I can’t wait to have some of that with coffee for dessert.

    *Looks around the cafe…* About time management called me back in to work. I told them this place couldn’t be ran without me. 😤 Look at this mess in here. There’s a fry in the floor. A fry! Like I’d ever just let a fry go to waste. *Shakes her head.. picks up the fry and eats it.*

    *Sits down and laces up her roller skates.* I’m certain the clientele has missed me dearly. I bet they’ve become spoiled getting entire portions of their meals. They will be so happy to know I’m starving. I wonder what’s being ordered tonight. I hope someone wants fresh fries. 😋

    Oooh she's back! Lime green and pink Polka-dotted roller skates and all.(much better than Viktor's ugly footwear).

    Fries eh? How about crispy sweet potato fries, would those do? I'll order an extra large serving so I at least get a few. :/ And a bacon cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun, thin tomato, onion, spinach, pickles, and mayo. PLEASE (I'm trying to learn my manners, hasn't been easy).
    Just water to drink and something luscious for dessert, surprise me.
    Thanks!!

    It’s time for Sunday Brunch at the Cybercafe! Oh, PaperDoll_, you’re back, bless your heart. We missed you. (See, Reenie, those lessons in manners do pay off.)’

    I’m just having some pumpkin hummingbird cake and coffee for now. I’m waiting to see if there’s going to be a buffet for brunch or if we’re ordering from the menu only. I wonder if Francois made stuffing casserole (stuffing with chicken or turkey served with gravy). Or maybe he made some pumpkin praline bread pudding. Oh, and there might even be some pumpkin muffins with pecan, mini chocolate chips, and cranberries.
