The BB cafe

[Kazzl]

The BB cafe is open for business!
Welcome all to a new chill and chat place for everyone on the forum.

The BB cafe is whatever you want it to be. There are comfy sofas, tables and chairs, coffee machines, a kitchen stocked with everything. There's a pool outside, a bbq area, an annexe with comfy beds for a quiet sleep, tv, dvd, books and whatever else you would like to have here.

Most of all, it's a place to meet friends and fellow travellers for a bit of company. Talk over problems, tell jokes, share your day, escape into a world of your making. Grab a coffee and pull up a chair ... 

So, with a nod to the wonderful Carole King (Hard Rock Cafe) ...

Now if you're feeling just a little bit lonely
Don't sit at home just mopin'
Come on down to where the friendship flows freely
You know the door is always open

At the BB cafe
Come to the BB cafe
They will help keep your blues at bay
At the BB cafe

Hey EM

One Subway coming up!

Even though I love my Capricciosa pizza... I am struggling to fit in to my 32" Levi's so I have to use some willpower...yet I probably will weaken lol

We had a nice warm day here and now the rain is coming today...again...like yourself Im not complaining EM

I havent seen Alien for a few years...looking forward to seeing it in 4K with the sound cranked up

Thankyou EM for the good vibrations you always provide on the forums...You Rock!

Hugs

Hi Paul, EM, everyone,

How are you today?

It's been a lovely day here, some cloud, but no rain, & the breeze is feeling almost warm.

Just careful of those bits of the popcorn that get stuck between teeth. 😸 I realised how long it's been since I made real popcorn,(not the fish flavour I usually have here), because I'd forgotten those little bits that get stuck.

Paul, I've wondered, ever since I realised the picture you use is a Bald Eagle & USA flag, if this is in reference to an American background. Would you please enlighten me?

EM, so long as you imagine Bush Turkeys are into making circular artwork, then how can there possibly be 👽aliens or x👾aliens?

I enjoyed the book & the movie.

I just finished listening to a whole bunch of David Eddings books. I couldn't find a handful, but he wrote a lot! (Some with his wife, Leigh Eddings). Famtasy genre, a big quest, sorcery, warfare, royal families, 'gods' & everyone's relationships with each other, & maybe a few grow up a little.

I then went looking for more Neil Gaiman, which has brought me back to Terry Pratchett. (can't seem to read his enough). & some Stephen King short stories I haven't heard.. always have books on, sometimes I take a music break., which I ought to do more often.

I do my bes to avoid the fast food joints, but I don't think Subway is bad (said without knowing how their bread or dressings are made, & convinced the cheese is not real cheese.)

Lol thanks so much Paul! Clearly you haven't read my thread lately, not so positive there atm! 

I'm rocking all right just not quite the way you think LOL! 

New posters are always welcome too

Lordy what a day. 

We had SUN shiny sunshine lol right up until it rained while the sun was shining. 
Don't worry I'm confused about everything today. But it happened so it was topsy turvy. 

Ewww can't do Aliens of any type. 
LOVE the crop circle stories but can't watch Sci Fi... too scary. 
Would much rather True Crime on YT lol! 

IDK Paul you don't have to be so hard on yourself. I can see from here that you're looking really good! Hahaha... but seriously. 
I began putting actual cream in my decaf for work x 3 (yah I know... it's a lot) and now I'm wondering why my usual work clothes are so hard to do up? 
I think they're shrinking in the drier. That's all.
Couldn't possibly be CREAM and CHIPS and CHOCOLATE... surely not. Nah. It's the drier's fault. 

We have THREE briskets in our oven slow cooking tonight at ours. My American boyfriend is puzzled how I can cook it so well without being an AMERICAN lol. He'll have to try it to be sure he says. Lol. 

Tomorrow I have lots of family coming over to "work on the house and garden" which is a guise. 
I think my kids at home told them mum's falling apart lol. COME QUICK but don't tell her why you're coming! 

I'm okay, it's just been tough lately. 

I have a TALL round glass jar for wrapped chockies, it was almost empty (wasn't ALL me lol). SO now it's full for the kids, only the KIDS. (Me when no ones watching). 

That's ok, when Summer hits I'll get the kayaks out and MIGHT lose the rotund - ness lol. 

32" pfft that's nuttin'! 

NO ALIENS Kitty!! Please?

Love EMxxxx

Just pass by and have a look, 

Have a good night everyone, Paul, EM and Mekitty 😊

Hi EN. Last night I thought I came across the thread/Discussion you refer to. I am saddened to see you've been 'rocked', very much so, eh? Unfortately, I forgot to make sure I was 'Following' the Discussion & can't remember the name of it... can you tell me what it is called?

Last night I was 'rocked' a bit, too, & today I am somewhat out-of-sorts. I have managed to make myself a  late lunch/early dinner puff pastry dinner, with 2 layers of pork loin chop pieces dusted with corn flour & a little stock powder, &a couple layers of my own chunky apple sauce & 5-6 chopped pecans on top of the layers - all wrapped up inside.

I feel good about doing that today.

Hi OTR. My night was better once the noise ended & I put on another few stories (one I thought was a short story was only a short bit of a longer novel, only the info didn't say so) & another book to follow them.

If you enjoy funny poems for kids, (or kid-like adults like me), try searching YouTube or maybe finding it via google (maybe somewhere too), a poem called "Pirate Stew" - I had included it on my overnight reading list, & made the happy discovery. I thought it might be a quirky story - & in a way, it is, as well as being a poem.

Note: it contains the recipe for 'Pirate Stew' within the verses. Sorry, I wasn't taking notes.

Hugzies to all who like them.

Just thought, EM, I can search a category or two. I think I can find your Discussion that way.

Having had my late lunch/early dinner, I'm feeling a desire for more popcorn. I want other things i didn't buy - but I know, here I can have my popcorn with chocolate.

I thought I'd string it like beads, same as I did when a child. We'd hang it on our Xmas tree,.unsalted & unbuttered. I suppose, if I was to do that now, I'd use the pretty coloured pre-made popcorn.

Tonight, what about stringing it & dipping it all in a chocolate bath? Remember, chocolate at the BB Cafe can be any colour you like. 😺 Imagine, & it will be so. Flavours, to, if you can. I'm going to ry to infuse mine with cherry.

Good morning, everyone 😺

I'm sorry I didn't get back last night. I burned the nutty bikkies, but since I think they are still edible, I have brought some in for anyone who likes very crunchy nutty bikkies.

Next time I hope to not be distracted & make a better batch.

Hoping you all have a good day, including doing something that is both healthy & fun.

Hugzies to any who wish. 😸

Hello everyone,

Reading all the yummy stories about popcorn made me crave for some…I did make some the other night.but not a healthy one…I popped them in melted butter with salt added…while I was eating them, I kept telling myself how healthy corn is😂…

I bought a cake mix…I’m hopeless at making cake or biscuits without a starter pack….anyhow the cake mix is a chocolate one with chocolate frosting…I’m going to add some cherries to the mix and strawberries to the frosting…I’ll bring it into the BB cafe tonight and we can all share it around while we chat about the happy bits in our day today….I hope everyone finds some bit of happiness today….

I hope everyone has a lovely positive day today….see you all tonight around our beautiful glowing bonfire….Got to get baking now…maybe mmMeKitty, ecomama and other beautiful members can bake/cook something yummy for tonight and we have have a smorgasbord of yummy treats….hugs everyone🤗 xx.

Grandy..

[mmMekitty]

Well, in that case, Grandy, let's just use my burnt nutty bikkies for paving stones?

I am going to make another salad today, Grandy. That'll cover 'healthy'.

Hugzies to you, yours & everyone & their furbabies.

Hey everyone, looks like there IS a smorgasbord on board in the Cafe tonight, YUMMM! 

I made 3 huge beef briskets and multitudes of veg on the weekend, now I'm out of puff for cooking lol. 
Pizza anyone? 

Kitty, sorry I didn't get back to you about the name of my thread. It's 'new person'... original hey? 
I've been really pushed to get to work this week. Sick kids, constructing an extension of our chicken coop and catering for lots of people on the weekend has exhausted me. I'm holding back a whatever it is illness, so much going around atm and my children and I are very exposed working long hours in the community. 
We're all tired. 

Grandy lol popcorn. Your VEG for the day! Hahaha.
Bf counts crisps as 1 veg lol, pickles on a burger another and to really stretch it.... he says CHEESE can almost count as a veg because it comes from cows and they're vegetarian. 
Eye roll lol.
I call him "Mr Metropolitan", such a city slicker. 

Tonight calls for staying warm and going to sleep early. 

Have fun in the Cafe! 

Love EMxxxx
