Good morning Clipper! Just us so far? You have time to sit and drink a cawfee with me until the gang starts coming in?

G'day Clipper, Peg - make mine a double espresso with cahones please (fit to put hair on yer chest!), and some of those awesome smelling biscuits!!!

I see the food catering in the FG is a moveable feast, so to speak.. reminds me of Sydney's Kings Cross where Harry's non-moving Cafe de Wheels is the in meeting place of night owls, working gals, tourists, sailors, students and gourmets. People travel for miles for a "pie floater". This amazing dish seems to have come to Australia possibly from north Germany, via Adelaide (the capital of South Australia) and consists of a good aussie meat pie dunked into the middle of a plate of thick pea soup. UGH. Once tasted, never forgotten.

Biscuits for me... any day.

Thinking of cajun cawfee - I wonder if Nawlins' Cafe du Monde (great beignets) survives???

Good morning AussiePam!:D The biscuits here are the best! So light and fluffy.

I don't know why, Peg - but like iced tea, biscuits have never caught on in Australia. I love both.

Good morning Clipper and everyone! When those flapjacks are on, I'm first in line!:)

Morning Clipper. My goodness but breakfast looks wonderful................

Congratulations on your Grand Opening!

Hi Sojo, are you feeling a little better today?:)

Good morning, everyone! Clipper the breakfast is wonderful as usual!:)

oh i love the biscuits! if you'll let me in the kitchen Clipper, i'll make some scones for everyone

Oh please makes some, LC! You are a woman of many talents..............and scones are so yummy!:)

i am so jealous! always wanted a viking...when i lived in Mass. i baked all the time, including bread every day, but down here it's too hot and humid and miserable to bake. ...Chonsi, thanks!

Clipper wrote: Geeez I'd love that LC....I have never been able to master the art of making them tasty little goobers....the Missus iz a real whiz when it comes to goodies from the Bake Shop.3 years ago I installed a commercial custom built Viking stove in our Kitchen. Momma has an electric oven with the convection deal....I have the gas high BTU burners and griddle on the top.


My late MIL in Ireland used to make THE best scones! She gave me her recipe, I must try and make them sometime! I'm just not that into baking, I love cooking main meals though!

*loads up her plate & grabs a tall tomato juice*

Morning all!! Thanks Clipper!! It's DELISH!!!! I'm leaving work early with the other girl in the office, to go shopping for her wedding dress! TGIF!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Pam's wanders in, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, in Shrek jarmies and big fluffy koala fur slippers... sees Sojo (who she's missed and was hoping was better), Chonsi, Far, LC, Clipper, Tombstone (she genuflects) and Bez scooting off...

She then reads the posts and realises that her maidenly reputation has been forever sullied....

A mass of blushes.. she gasps ....

Alas, I am undone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thirty seconds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nar, I'm not gonna go there.... GUFFAW... ROTFLMAO

Taking pooch to de Vet this morning for her Rabies booster....she loves riding in the truck with me.



Pam....the Cafe du Monde is alive and doing well again. The French Quarter saw no flooding whatsoever. Didja know that I was raised in New Awlings?:D


Thats good to know. I have been there and loved it. Here in OKC is a section of town calld The Paseo. There was a cafe there where a native of Nawlins was the chef or cook. He made gumbo from scratch and it was great. The owner told me he had been buying frozen gumbo until he heard the cooks mom say he was raised in Nawlins and could make it much better than frozen. I like jambalaya much more than gumbo but ya make whatcha got.
