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

Feta sounds delicious, so do olives and halloumi... I've been super into halloumi lately, particularly a good halloumi salad. I'm a huge fan of Greek salads, which tend to combine all of those flavours.
Does anyone else like salads? I feel like as I'm getting older, I've gotten more into them because they're so diverse and healthy. I made a sweet potato and rocket one a few weeks back that was DELICIOUS.
What are everyone's favourite kinds of salads?

Blondguy and everyone reading,
I just wonder what everyone is doing and if you have any food you always eat at this time of year that is part of your traditions. Do you only make some food only around Christmas?

Hello everyone….🤗🩷.
Paul I like the fact that Kooka’s Country Cookies are Australian made…I discovered them a few year back and occasionally buy them as a small treat for me….They are yummy..
Quirky, I have spent the past 7 Christmases alone, I don’t really make anything special to eat..I just have what I feel like to eat…I remember I had cheese n tomato toasties one year because I like it and felt like it…I don’t buy anything special for Christmas, I don’t feel the need to…
I remember as a child, my mum always cooked a Turkey with veggies and my dad received a fruit cake and a tin ham from work as a Christmas bonus….Those days we looked forward to it, because it was the only day of the year that we had these thing to eat…now a days, yesterdays special Christmas foods are available all year round…
I will attend my local online church service, after that listen to some Christmas songs, give my fur babies their present, usually a nice big bone they can chew on for hours….I do wrap up the bones, it’s so much fun watching them make a mess of the wrapping paper😂😂😂…after cleaning up their paper mess, I’ll binge watch classic Christmas movies for a few hours…
I find it fascinating how for weeks, there is this huge build up for Christmas Day….then when that day ends, night falls we sleep, then the next day had arrived, everything goes back to normal…Christmas is forgotten about for another 12 months…
sbella, I do like salads, my favourite is simple garden salad , (lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber) which I add some basil, mint, dill, oregano, feta cheese, black pitted olives with an olive oil and lemon dressing…
Hope everyone is having a nice day and keeping as cool as you can….I hear thunder in the distance, I hope it brings some rain and a cool change for sleeping tonight…
Love and gentle hugs everyone..🩷🤗
Grandy..

Grand thanks for your post. I am glad you have fond memories of Christmas.
Christmas today is just another day for me. I know many feel lonely and people are stressed about family Christmas lunch.

It's not a salad but a combination I stumbled across has become a favourite of mine...only 2 things....feta cheese (the Danish kind that doesn't crumble ) and red grapes (seedless) It's OK with green grapes too but better with red. chop feta into pieces and pop into your mouth with a sweet red grape....nice combo, trust me.,,Moon S

Moonstruck, that sounds like the most delicious combination and I'm very keen to give it a try. I love grapes, and equally I love feta.
Grandy I agree, for me there's so much preparation for Christmas and so many Christmas-related activities that take place in the weeks leading up to it, only for the festivities themselves to last for a very small portion of the day. I do enjoy all the activities surrounding Christmas - me and my friends made candles, got little Christmas-themed mugs to drink hot chocolates, we all got each other gifts. And also - a nice garden salad sounds great!
