Hey, Zzyyggy. Mother’s Day is May 12th so we’ll have an entire week to enjoy the beautiful flower centerpieces in the dining room. As always, Igor went a little overboard on the patio by the pool, although the floating bouquets of pink roses in the pool are nice. The twelve foot height pink and red Mylar balloon MOM…

Hi, @Schnootie, welcome to the cybercafe! Love your order. Viktor, our most wonderful waiter will be right out with your order (sometimes before you even order). Now I’m going to dream about nectarines drizzled with honey and sprinkled with slivered almonds. That sounds delicious. The peaches should be coming in soon. It’s…

Hi, Zzyyggy. About the carpenter bees—they bore holes in the underside of the deck banisters. The holes go up and then turn and can extend horizontally for two to six inches! Not sure I can put salt in them. We didn’t oil the holes with WD 40 fast enough this year so the bees were able to lay their eggs. Now the baby bees,…

Hi, Zzyyggy. I’m here really late or really early depending how you look at it. I had a nightmare. I was lying in bed awake and finally got up instead of being startled every time the HVAC decided to make noise. The system is dehumidifying. I'm fairly certain that a cup of tea and some mini pastries will help settle me…

Viktor! I’ll have what Zzyyggy’s having, please. I’m heading out to the terrace. I think I’ll have some broccoli in my macaroni and cheese and caramel sauce over my apple pie and ice cream. 😋 Zzyyggy, hi. Wow, tropical sunshine. We’ve been having sunny days in the Charlotte area. I can’t call it tropical because the…

Zzyyggy, that onion soup was delicious this evening. Even though it was 82 degrees today I’m freezing. It’s the air conditioning. I’m just not used to it. Fortunately, it’s nice and cozy in the Club Room. I’ve got my book and coffee so it’s all good. Viktor found a lovely candy dish with three bowls and filled them with…

Biscuits? I’m definitely ordering biscuits. Sweetie likes biscuits with chicken and gravy. That’s pretty good, I’m not really big on gravy, but sometimes it’s a treat. I like butter and jelly or cheese or peanut butter or all three on my biscuits. Mm, biscuits and coffee sounds perfect. I’m curious, do they make chocolate…

Hi, Zzyyggy. I got my hair cut today. Usually my hairdresser, Miss Nora, takes Monday off, but her schedule is crazy right now because she’s babysitting her granddaughter a couple times a week. Boy, she cut my hair short. Miss Nora fluffs and teases my hair to make it look like I have more hair (I’m losing my hair) and it…

Zzyyggy, yesterday’s picnic was burgers, hotdogs, with chips and dips, baked beans with tons of bacon, and what looked like deli potato salad and maybe noodle salad. I had a hamburger. Then, of course, there were desserts, yum 😋. Sweetie made Betty’s Luscious Layer Bars, but I had the yellow cake with chocolate frosting,…

Hey, Zzyyggy. I’m ordering coffee. We were at a picnic and when we got home all I wanted was a cup of coffee. Too late for that except at the cybercafe.

Hi, Zzyyggy. Yes, the apple crisp is delicious. I ordered it again with butter pecan ice cream and caramel sauce. I’ve been cold all day. I’m going to go sit by the fire in the Club Room and read.

Thanks for the clarification, Zzyyggy. Makes more sense. I’m here for dessert, although your order sounds wonderful. I made chicken fajitas for dinner tonight. They turned out great. Francois made apple crisp today and I think there’s some butter pecan ice cream in the cybercafe’s freezer. Francois also makes delicious…

Dinner was delicious, Zzyyggy. That’s because I ordered the same thing you ordered. Now it’s 11:00 pm and Sweetie is eating coleslaw. Not something I would choose for a bedtime snack. He always eats right before going to bed. If I did that I wouldn’t be able to sleep. That is unless I eat at the cybercafe. I think another…

Hi, Zzyyggy. Where we used to live we had a neighbor who was a chef. For one of our neighborhood picnics he brought dessert—little chocolate cups filled with chocolate mousse, iced with ganache, and topped with fresh raspberries. Divine and probably way too elegant for a picnic, but they truly were delicious. We had the…

Zzyyggy, I had some of the grilled vegetables, as well as the steak. Delicious. Then I ordered grilled peaches for dessert. The peaches were served over ice cream. 😋

Zzyyggy, that apple pie looks real good. I think I’ll order a piece of pie with ice cream, too.

Viktor, I’ll be joining Zzyyggy out on the terrace. I’d like a cup of coffee and a brownie iced with vanilla frosting and sprinkled with mini M&M’s, please. Zzyyggy, I hope you’re feeling better. I’m tired tonight because I didn’t get enough sleep last night. I was reading and totally lost track of the time. I ended up…

Hi, Zzyyggy. Ah, tropical sun after sunset. Nice. Sweetie and I ordered chocolate silk pie and iced mochas for dessert. I think Sweetie already scarfed his down. He wants to get to bed early. He’s putting plywood floor in some of the attic and he wants to start early in the morning before it gets too hot. Too bad he didn’t…

Hi, Zzyyggy. It’s really nice out here on the terrace. Mm, the chili mac is yummy.😋 Sweetie says he wants lemon cookies for dessert. They would be good with vanilla ice cream and an iced tea. Glad you’re on the mend Zzyyggy.

Zzyyggy, that’s really scary. Sorry you’re feeling so sick. I’m glad you had your sister there with you. Hope you recover quickly. Sweetie made my favorite sun dried tomato chicken with sweet potatoes, broccoli, and coleslaw for dinner. But there was no dessert! Fortunately, I checked out the bakery case and saw a…

Good evening, Viktor. I’d love an iced tea with mini scoops of lemon sorbet in the tea, please. I see Zzyyggy hasn’t made it in yet. Would you please tell her I’m out by the pool?

Viktor! I’ll have the same dessert as Zzyyggy. I love those big crunchy cookies and an iced mocha sounds delicious. Hey, Zzyyggy,it was 87 degrees today and sunny. It was really nice outside. It wasn’t humid at all and that’s what made a difference.

Oh, no! Zzyyggy, I must have forgotten to hit the post reply button. Anyway, the apple crisp was delicious last night. I wouldn’t mind another evening sitting by the fire. Sunday roast beef dinner sounds wonderful. I’ll have mine with glazed carrots. Iced mochas for dessert served with the cybercafe’s famous endless plate…

Viktor, my favorite waiter, so good to see you. I’m joining Zzyyggy in the dining room by the fire. Sweetie made chili for dinner tonight. I know Francois made chocolate chocolate chip cake with vanilla frosting for dessert. I’m ordering the cake and coffee, please. Zzyyggy! It was a dark and stormy night—sounds like the…

Hi, Zzyyggy. Yes, I saw Betty’s turtle cake and thought that would be good, but you can’t beat chocolate cake with chocolate chips and iced with more chocolate chips, ganache, caramel sauce, snickers, and toffee bits. Of course, mini M&M’s will add so much more pizazz. Mm, this iced mocha is delicious and the Chocolate…

Hi, Zzyyggy. Chocolate, I need chocolate. Sometimes things (or people) just make you crazy, I don’t want to talk about it. I just want chocolate so I asked Viktor to bring a nice selection of chocolate goodies. I wonder what he’ll bring.

Oh, nice sunset Zzyyggy. We didn’t have a total eclipse, just a partial eclipse. It seemed more like a cloudy day than full dark here. Actually, the light was similar to tornado weather except the sky was clear. We had a beautiful day for the eclipse, but today it’s raining. It will be nice to sit out on the terrace for a…

Zzyyggy, we watched the eclipse from our back deck. Maybe it’s the eclipse that making me hungry? I ordered chicken and biscuits with gravy, greens and beans, and iced tea for dinner. I think I’ll have Betty’s chocolate chip brownie cookies studded with M&M’s, white chocolate chips, and pecans for dessert. Sweetie wants to…

Zzyyggy! I was wondering where you were. I hate losing internet. If we lose internet we lose our home phone—Google Voice—free phone service. When people call our number, Miss Google answers and asks for their name, then rings our home phone and our cell phones. I love it. Telemarketers hang up on Miss Google. Yes! Plus, I…

Chocolate, Viktor, I’d like some chocolate. Let’s start with a cafe mocha, please. Chocolate monster cookies with M&M’s, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, and pecans would be good. Oh, and iced with chocolate ganache. I’m sure Francois has them waiting in the kitchen.
