So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

It was another day, another medical appointment for me. Had to go for a mammogram. There are some places where freezing air conditioning is truly unacceptable. @NavyCurls, I can relate. I had a boss who would set the air conditioner on the coldest setting, then when it was unbearable, she’d turn it off! When it got hotter than you know where, she’d turn the air back on. She would do that with the heat, too. The temperature would go from 55 to 90 constantly. I always felt like I had a fever.

Zzyyggy, the temperature was in the low 70’s today. I had to wear my sweatshirt. It was chilly and wonderful. Typical early July weather for you.

Viktor, I’d like the old fashioned pita burger, fries, and a Cheerwine, please. I saw a recipe in Southern Living for Cheerwine cupcakes. Oh, yes! An old fashioned pita burger has coleslaw, chili, American cheese, onions, and mustard on it. Yum 😋. Cupcakes, coffee, and M&M’s for dessert.

Zzyyggy! Good to see you. Have a seat. It’s nice when the guys light the fire pits out here on the terrace, isn’t it? I’m just finishing my coffee. I’m so tired tonight because I only got four hours of sleep last night. I think I’ll go to bed early.

Good morning, ladies.

@LindaK125 - I wish it was my boss, but it's actually the building to controls the AC. I believe most floors are "decent", but since I work on the floor that has the most amount of computer equipment, it's "slightly" colder than the rest, which makes sense. lol

@Zzyyggy - I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I miss going to the local gardens. I haven't gone since I've been married and I don't think my husband would enjoy all the walking around. His knees are bad and getting worse.

@ReenieHJ - when you mentioned Church Street, I immediately though of the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice where Jane is eating with Caroline Bingley and Mrs. Hurst.

Viktor - a chorizo breakfast burrito with mixed fruit and a cold glass of OJ. For lunch, teriyaki chicken with rice and steamed veggies, then fettuccini alfredo with chicken and broccoli and garlic bread. I will be in front of the fire pits.

Zzyyggy! Gee, I almost didn’t make it here today. I was just about asleep and remembered that I had ordered a bedtime snack—a cup of and some lemon shortbread. Yum.

@NavyCurls congratulations on your new job.

Zzyyggy, your order last night sounded so good that I changed my mind and decided to order potato salad and baked beans with barbecue chicken. Cornbread and coleslaw sides and an iced tea, please, Viktor. I’m spending the afternoon by or in the cyberpool. We got just over an inch of rain this morning—in 30 minutes. It poured. Now it’s really humid, but at least the sun is shining.

See you later for Sunset Dessert. Francois hasn’t told me what he’s making for tonight.

Great sunset at the cybercafe tonight. Wish I could see the sunset at my house—we’re tucked into the east side of a hill. Apple pie a la mode for Sunset Dessert. 😋 Thanks for asking Francois to make apple pie. I think I’ll sit out here on the terrace a little while longer and enjoy the evening.

Thanks everyone. It's not really a new job, but a move back to an old job. But it's all good. Tomorrow, my family is getting together for a crab boil, so I need to be good today.

Viktor, for dinner, a Santa Maria tri tip, mashed potatoes, a dinner roll with butter, and a side salad with ranch dressing. A lemon square for desert, please.

@NavyCurls —a crab boil! 😋 We went to a local barbecue place to celebrate our daughter-in-law’s birthday. I had plenty to eat, but no birthday cake! The lemon squares and chocolate chip cookies sound good, however, birthday cake is required. Growing up, my mom always made her mother’s german chocolate cake, with vanilla icing, not that sticky, too sweet stuff that appeared in the 1950’s. Grandma used two eggs in her recipe. I have noticed that today’s recipes call for four eggs. I’m wondering if three eggs would be best. Two eggs create a crumbly cake and four eggs can make the cake rubbery. Of course, Francois always make perfect cakes. And Viktor always make the most divine coffee. Thank you Viktor.

Good morning, ladies.

@LindaK125 we actually had leftovers. BIL does all the cooking, and he goes all out.

Viktor - chorizo burrito with mixed fruit and OJ, please.

It's going to get hot tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to it.

@LindaK125 Our summers (at least the part of LA where I am) can be in the 100s no problem. But, it's supposed to be in the low 90s. Anything above 80 is too hot for me. At least where I work, there's AC on my floor.

The s'mores were delicious!!!! You can't go wrong there. @Zzyyggy the leftovers were almost as good. Just missing a few items.

Viktor - scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage links, toast, hashbrowns, mixed fruit, and OJ, please?

Viktor, I’ll have the steak and blue cheese salad, please.

Dessert on the terrace everyone? I’ve ordered apple pecan cake, with brown sugar icing. Viktor said he’d have our drinks ready for us. Iced tea for me.

Zzyyggy, you would make the RumChata cheesecake? For yourself? My mom used to say she would love to make a cheesecake just for herself and eat it for breakfast. I don’t think she meant that she would eat it in one sitting, of course. I can’t even imagine eating cheesecake because I can’t eat cream cheese or sour cream. I’ve never heard of RumChata before, but adding rum would probably taste delicious. However, I think I’d rather have lemon squares instead of cheesecake for breakfast this morning.

Viktor, I’ll take a table by the french doors overlooking the orchards. I know the porch has a better view of the orchards, but it’s a little chilly out this morning. Apparently, I’m getting used to the heat and any time the temperature goes under 70 degrees it feels chilly to me. Mm, Cafe Domingo, thanks Viktor.

@NavyCurls , we can watch movies on the big screen out on the patio or in the man cave. Jorge makes the best movie popcorn. I like mine with M&M’s.
