    Zzyyggy, let’s start our dinner with some savory pastries first. Perhaps a sausage and onion hand pie, quiche Lorraine, tomato tart, and/or spanakopita to start with. Oh, the desserts! Apple strudel, creme brûlée, palmiers, macarons, fruit tarts or cream tarts, pies, cakes, breads—really a pastry chef does it all, even the puddings, fillings and icings. Tante Marie’s kitchen specializes in making all those delicious breakfast pastries, donuts, and pies served at the cybercafe. There are other chefs with their own kitchens who make cakes or bread and rolls. The rumor is there are even some cookie elves.

    I can’t decide on donuts, mini danish, or a piece of French Silk Pie. The French Silk Pie has a chocolate crumb crust sealed with a layer of dark chocolate ganache. I think I’ll have that with chocolate curls on top. I bet that would taste really good with M&M’s. Mm, coffee.

    Hi everyone, I'm going to have the Sunday roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, dinner rolls, and a coca cola please. For dessert I'll have some angel food cake with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'm going to enjoy the warm tropical sunshine on the terrace since I haven't been out all day. It just barely stopped raining out there and the sun is finally out after two days of rain.

    Angf! You have to check out the aquarium in the dining room. It’s always interesting and it gets decorated for every occasion (or just because). The dining room has an alcove with a lovely fireplace and couches, chairs, and recliners. I’m sure you won’t mind sharing your chair with a cat or two. Soche and Useless will happily keep you company. It’s a good night for soup—the temperature has dropped below 72 in my house.

    After I finish my soup , I’ll head out to the terrace with Zzyyggy and check to seee if her ice cream freezer has any double caramel Magnum Bars.

    Hi everyone, we are having 70 degree weather here in the real world. yeah. The lake is as calm as calm can be, and theres no wind. I sat outside for a bit this afternoon. Got in a swim in the morning, and walked home afterwords. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the roast beef grinder with the works, a bag of chips, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have the huge chocolate chip cookie and an iced mocha. I'll eat down by the pool tonight after a swim. Igor and Jorge have been practicing their marachi band music.

    Wow, Zzyyggy, glad you’re finally having nice weather. I told Viktor I wanted to order the same thing you ordered. 😋 I think I could order the same thing for breakfast. After dessert, once I’m completely dried off from my swim, I plan on heading over to the Club Room. I intend to fall asleep in my chair while pretending to read my book. I’m sure Useless will find me. Nothing’s better than sharing your chair with a cat.

    Hi Linda, we're having typical summer weather here today. We're suppose to have thunder storms this evening, The wind is really howling out there. Maintenance put the ac in this morning, and I've had it on for while now. It's in the bedroom. My curious cat of course had to go and investigate, and then sniff it out. She does like the cool bedroom though. For dinner tonight Viktor has ramped up the pizza ovens, and I would like mine with the works, chicken wings, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have some chocolate chip cookies, and an iced mocha.

    Hi, Zzyyggy. It’s a good thing you’ve got your air conditioner now. Are you ready for summer weather? I’m not sure I’m ready. I am ready for dessert. I’ve decided to have another piece of my favorite veggie supreme pizza and more iced tea.

    I can't decided what to order for lunch. What do you think I should have today?

    Hi everyone, angf, everything is good around here. Try the burgers that's always my favorite. Linda I'm ready for Summer but we went back to spring today. Plenty of sunshine but it was cold out there at 43 degrees with a cold wind blowing. For dinner tonight I would love a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs with lots of garlic bread, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a hot fudge sundae with an iced mocha. I'll enjoy it out on the terrace with the warm balmy tropical air.

    Hi everyone. Zzyyggy, that sure is cold weather to me. The high temperature in the Charlotte area today was 86 degrees. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, too. My spaghetti had lots of cheese and cream and butter, as well as tomato sauce. Does that make it macaroni and cheese? It’s so nice out here on the terrace this evening. I plan on drinking my cup of tea and taking a short nap.

    Hi Linda, We had a cold start to the day at 34 degrees, but it warmed up to 78 degrees. Sat outside for a bit and read. Got in a swim, and walk. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the double quarter pounder with cheese, those yummy fries, and an iced cold coca cola. For dessert I'll have a dish of chocolate/vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace again tonight. I'm craving Mcdonald's for some reason lately so I'll have to go to Beansies sometime along for a burger. Hopefully it doesn't rain all weekend long.

    Zzyyggy, I love days that start like that—cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon. We’re supposed to have scattered showers throughout the weekend. I sure hope we do. I asked Sweetie what he wanted for dessert and he’s decided on a brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce. I ordered a bowl of soft ice cream, a twist of vanilla and chocolate, with room temperature fudge sauce. I debated ordering mine with chocolate magic shell. Let’s not forget a generous sprinkle of M&M’s. I wonder if McDonald’s still sells M&M’s McFlurrys.

    Hi everyone, Angf have fun at your retreat. Linda I don't I haven't been to Mcdonald's in so long I don't know what's on the menu any more. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the fried scallops with french fries and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a hotfudge sundae with an iced mocha. We had a gorgeous day out there today with some rain. I sat outside for a bit in the afternoon.

    Hi, Zzyyggy. I asked the Weather Goddess to send Angf good weather on her retreat. No guarantees there. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Weather Goddess actually existed? We’re not having good weather here. Truly, my prayers have been answered and it’s raining. We had a 36% chance of rain this evening and so far we’ve had .5 inches of rain. To celebrate, I’ll have a Smartie McFlurry for dessert. Yum 😋.

    Oh, we just got new severe thunderstorm warning. I need to check out our local radar. I can hear the rolling thunder. Yikes that storm is close. It passed south of us and is now in downtown Monroe.

    I am back from my ladies retreat. It was so good. Lunch today was AMAZING!!! I'm just going to go curl up on those cozy chairs and take a nap. I will decide on supper when I wake up.

    Hi everyone, we had rain most of the day today. Did an on line grocery order, and am trying to talk myself into a walk now that it's stopped raining. I might just go outside and sit for a bit. Glad you had a good time Angf. Linda stay safe from those thunderstorm. For dinner tonight I'm going to have the porter house steak with baked potato, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight.

    Hello everyone! It seems like the Spring storm season is one endless line of storms constantly moving across all of North America. Most of the storms have gone north of us, while some severe storms have come through our area. We’ve finally had rain and, fortunately, very little storm damage. It looks like there’s another storm lining up for this coming week, as well. We’ll be enjoying cooler, more humid weather this week.

    My sister and her husband are going to be here on Wednesday. We’ll have dinner with them and the kids. I figured we could do some prime sirloin, mashed potatoes, carrots, and salad. I can’t decide on dessert. Do I make a blueberry crumble and serve it with ice cream? I think Betty had a recipe in one of her emails recently. Any suggestions? I could always see if Costco has something yummy. 🤔. They sell these huge, crunchy chocolate chip cookies, but I promised myself I wouldn’t buy them. Besides, I’m sure they taste best when fresh.

    I think I’ll order the blueberry crumble with chocolate ice cream for dessert. I’ll be out to join everyone on the terrace. Viktor is bringing out desserts and a pitcher of iced mochas for us.
