So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

Francois made pumpkin ice cream!

Hi, Zzyyggy. I see you’ve had a busy day. Sit by the fire for a bit. Viktor will bring a pair of bunny slippers for you. I’m sure he’ll whip up another iced mocha, too. When Sweetie heard that Francois made pumpkin ice cream, decided to have pumpkin pie and pumpkin ice cream. I ordered a pumpkin ice cream latte float. Yes, pumpkin and iced coffee! 😋!

Hi, Zzyyggy. I’m glad I can sit by the fire tonight at the cybercafe. It’s 42 degrees outside right now at 9:00 pm and I’m getting cold sitting in my living room. The HVAC unit in our downstairs isn’t working. I think it’s been down about a week. The weather was mild and we didn’t notice until this morning. The temperature dropped into the low 60’s yesterday. It got cold overnight and this morning it was in the low 40’s. Today the temperature stayed in the mid 50’s. The thermostat said it was heating, but the burner and the fan never came on. It’s not too cold in the house, but I’m not used to it being 67 degrees. We have a frost advisory for tomorrow (Thursday) morning. I bet it’s going to be chilly in the house. Thankfully, the HVAC technician came right out. We’ll have to wait on a replacement part, but it will be near 70 degrees on Friday and then the weather will warm up into the mid to high 70’s in the coming week. Plus, we do have heat upstairs. Maybe we’ll see a difference in our utility bill for the month.

Viktor’s bringing out a pot of coffee for me. Francois made apple bread pudding that will be served warm with caramel sauce. I think I’ll skip the ice cream tonight. Sweetie says he’ll have some bread pudding, too. It’s one of his favorite desserts.

Hi, Zzyyggy. Still no heat downstairs. It was 37 degrees outside this morning and 64 degrees inside. Our master bedroom is downstairs and I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It was definitely a macaroni and cheese night tonight. I think I’ll go in and sit by the fire in the Club Room, Zzyyggy. Bring your dessert and come sit by the fire. Maybe I’ll finally warm up.

Now I need chocolate for dessert. I see Francois made homemade toffee, dipped in chocolate and rolled in chopped pecans. Mm, yummy. These will be good with my cafe mocha. Viktor brought my cafe mocha in a thermal carafe to keep it nice and hot. Well, tomorrow is Friday and I’m hoping the part comes for our HVAC.

Hi, Zzyyggy. We had the same weather as you did today. No complaints here. I love when Francois is cooking on the grill. Not only are the steaks delicious, but his grilled vegetables are wonderful, as well. Dinner was delightful. Now it’s time for dessert. Sweetie and I are having Francois’ double chocolate grasshopper pie. It’s got a chocolate crumb crust, a layer of dark chocolate ganache, and a layer of chocolate chip mint ice cream, topped with chocolate fudge sauce and whipped cream.

Hi, Zzyyggy. Sunday dinner was delicious—we ordered the same thing you ordered, including the blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. In fact, here’s Viktor with dessert, now.

Oh, no! Covid? That’s terrible. Chicken soup is good—I hope you have some in the real world. Francois made some iced ginger molasses cookies, too. Viktor’s bringing out the cookies and coffees for both of us. We can sit here and enjoy the fire and nap.

We had another warm fall day, nearly 80 degrees. It’s beautiful during the day and nice and chilly at night, with no rain in sight until Halloween night. Sweetie is in charge of buying the Halloween candy. I don’t want to know it’s here because then I’ll want to eat it. I would prefer to eat the Halloween candy at the cybercafe. It’s just better somehow. 😉

Take care and feel better soon.

Hi, Zzyyggy. I’m glad you’re feeling a little better. You’ll be glad the air conditioner is gone once the overnight temperature goes back down in the 30’s. Brr. We’re having beautiful weather in the Charlotte area, too.

Sweetie ordered a double caramel Magnum Bar for dessert. I ordered a brownie sundae with vanilla chocolate fudge swirl ice cream topped with fudge sauce and a double sprinkle of mini M&M’s. Perhaps an avalanche of M&M’s would be even better or maybe enough M&M’s to have some in every bite.

Viktor, is Zzyyggy still napping throughout the day? Hopefully, Francois made sure she got some chicken soup and maybe a little chocolate, too. I think I’d like a bowl of chicken soup this evening and a big monster chocolate chip cookie. I stayed up really late watching movies with Zzyyggy last night. I think I’ll go to bed early, I’m tired. Tomorrow it’s three hundred laps in the cyberpool in my yacht.

Zzyyggy, another movie night sounds wonderful. Francois has even made some delicious appetizers for us. Yes, I was test tasting them. Yup, that’s my excuse for the duck sauce on my shirt. I’ll just lick that off my shirt. Mmm. Anyway, the fried wontons are yummy, especially when dipped in duck sauce. The stuffed mushrooms also passed the test, as well as the bruschetta. There’s stuffed grape leaves and stuffed dates and a selection of cheeses. I love the Stilton cheese. The prosciutto wrapped asparagus is excellent. And there are the usual array of dips for chips and breads and vegetables and fruits. I think Francois is expecting a crowd out on the patio by the pool for a big screen movie night party. We can always hide out in the man cave. Viktor will gladly bring in a butler’s cart full of goodies. Of course, if the entire wolf pack and assorted zombies decide to join us in the man cave, nowhere will be quiet.

Whew, I got carried away, didn’t I? I guess it’s been a while since I had really good appetizers. I almost started listing all the dips and breads and . . . Oh. Well. My next big decision is what to drink. Hmm.🤔
