Well folks, in all the excitement, I believe we may just have forgotten to open the bar tonight! :eek: :eek: Now that's not good, because there is nothing like sitting round a big fire with friends, glass in hand and good food available. So very civilised, don't you think?
I've been far too busy today to cook, so this is a "bring your own" affair. I have a pot of chilli and a couple of bottles of red wine. Who wants to join me?
I know that I don't normally frequent Thursdays, but I could sure use a drink today. I brought some taco dip (should go well with chilli). Now, how about some of that wine? :D
Yum! Did you say chilli and red wine! I'm so game for that! ;) I brought along some Ghirardelli dark chocolate, I'm sure it will go well with that red wine.
I started my new job and I think I'm really going to enjoy it. My boss seems cool too, so I'm feeling pretty good this week!
Cheers!
Barkeep, do you have any good, strong coffee? I've got a super-duper headache and I think caffeine will help. Hey, I'll go get some biscotti while you put a fresh pot on. That way, when I get back it will be just about done brewing.
Ooooooo, that taco dip sounds good! One glass of wine coming up!
We can sit by the fire and breath deeply. :D There used to be a juke box in this place. Haven't heard it played recently. What would you like Jen?
Oh oh oh ! Ghirardelli dark chocolate???? Bring it on! Glass of wine for you, Karen! :D
Oh yes Cassiesmom, we have fabulous coffee here - never heard of that helping with a headache though. I'll give you a glass of water too.
Caffeine helps my headaches too - I also have some asprin if you want some. And I would love some dark chocolate too!!
hmm, for the jukebox.....do you have any 'Spice Girls' on there? You know which Spice Girls I mean ;)
Can I have a double Martini??
No chili for me thanks, I did bring a lamb stew though, and the sourdough to go with it :)
This is going to be a good buffet! A double martini for you DrGoodnow, would that be a classic martini or a chocolate?
Jen, I don't think the jukebox has any of the Spice Girls you are thinking of. And we certainly don't want to hear the other ones! :D
I was thinking of something mellow myself.
hmm, no cats screeching, eh? Ah well, maybe next time :DQuote:

Oh you like to see me working for once, Randi? One of Don's recipe chocolate martinis for you. Enjoy!
Classic with extra olives, DrGoodnow.
Have those biscotti arrived back yet? I do like a good biscotti with my coffee.
*hiding biscotti behind back*
what biscotti? :p
I would be glad to bring a case of California holy water..........and if you like it, I can bring more. It does go well with scotch.
(sorry, Karen, I just had to do it................)
Excellent plan Gini! For those who don't like their scotch cask strength! :D :D
Mario can see those biscotti behind you Dr Goodnow. Somehow I don't see Richard as a biscotti man. I have a haggis here just for him if he comes out of the L&F.
Just coming in from the COLD weather for a place beside the fire~ (takes off silly Ruby Slippers :cool:
I've never had a Martini :eek: Nor a Biscotti either!!! :eek:
What have I got to lose~~~~~ ?? My, but this bar looks so splendid today!!!
HI PEOPLE!!!!
OHHHH Dottie, I love the slippers! Want to taste the martini? Karen is a very good tini maker :eek:
Mario foiled my plans again this week, he snatched the biscotti outta my hands.......silly monkey.
I think I may just have to light the fire, it is bgetting a bit chilly.
This IS a splendid place to be! You can have your martini, biscotti, and a seat by the fire - and all for nothing! Where else can you say that? :D
I've got a taco casserole (the only thing I was capable of making for years....) KK...could I have a bottle of the red wine? I'll mix it with this lemonade....put in some orange slices and we can call it sangria.

The Taco Cassarole smells reeeall good!!!
Please Karen, may I also have a vodka martini with extra olives??? Oh and Gini, I'll take some of that holy water. Maybe it will calm down some people around here.
Sorry, will have to grab and run. I'll check in later.
Well ES - you have outdone yourself with that taco casserole. The avocado on the top was so good.
Is it possible to have a pomegranate martini? I am pretty sure that there is nothing holy about them!
Whose cute red slippers are you wearing Mario? As always you look adorable - but what are your cheeks filled with? Hmmm smells like biscotti to me.
Hi Everyone,
I brought some chocolate cream pie for dessert. Can someone pass me a mango magarita?
I am here to report to all of you that I felt it was time someone did something about the number of items being stored in our L/F. A quick accounting told me that the majority of the items belonged to Richard.
Therefore, I have called him and requested that he immediately come to the bar, collect these items and pay the past dues for storage. He was so honest - I suggested $3,475. and he quickly said he recalled the fee to be $3,875. Hey, it costs a lot to keep this place running smoothly.
He is filled with good news for himself personally - and promises to be back in the bar - taking care of his duties by our Thursdays Anniversary of #208 - FOUR YEARS.
He said to say hello to everyone, he's glad that he is missed and apologized but he is in the process of getting a new internet connection. This is the reason he has been away.
So great to hear that Richard has good news to share. :)Quote:

Oh good, glad to hear he's not just buried under a pile of L&F stuff back there! Thanks for making the call, Gini!
Hmmm, I have been dealing with more food allergies this week, but in here, all food is hypoallergenic. So ... um, pepperoni pizza, please?
And a large pot of chai is available for sharing. It's "feels like 7" here right now, which is a big improvement from yesterday's daytime "9 degrees but feels like -9 degrees!"
Well glad to here you are having a heat wave Karen!
Happier to hear I will soon have another Haggis eater to keep us company ;)
Looking forward to Richards return!!
Jas says he will definitely take some chai, he plans on dropping in after work :) , he is bringing the homemade mac&cheese :D
*gets a refill on the martini*
It's so nice to just sit here and chat amoung friends.
It is lovely isn't it?Quote:

Hello Hello! A friend took me to dinner aat a lovely Italian restaurant & I've brought back a piping hot rosemary foccacia & some herbed olive oil for dipping - should be perfect with that chili! Is there still some chai and biscotti around?
Mmmmm.. Can I have a big cup of hot, hot chai?? My favorite!
I've got some homemade Beef Vegetable soup for everyone!
OHHH the soup and some of Pams bread sound yummy!
Where is Mario? we could use another log on that fire :p
Mario, Here, give that to Orc and GIVE ME THAT REMOTE!!!
Lady, go curl up, pup.
How about I run down to Aiellos (Local Italian, and I mean ITALIAN) restaurant and pick up some calzones?
How many virtual hips will I get from those??? :eek:
NONE? then off with you!! before the weather turns bad! :p
Plenty of chai to share - just the smell of it warms me! And I WILL have some beef stew, thank you! I do so miss soup in real life. Stupid food allergies!
As long as we're having Zero-Calorie italian, How about a tray of Tiramasu? (Made fresh daily by Vinny's mama, and no, I'm not kidding)
Mario, Orc, Lady, we need to chat. Geez, ya leave for a couple weeks and the place goes to HECK!
Mario - would you top off my coffee, please. I drank it earlier, and took some acetaminophen, and my headache was much better. But now it's back. Here, I brought more biscotti because more patrons have arrived. No, not decaf, please - I need the real deal. Just top it off, that great big mug right there. Lady, you can curl up right here next to me if you like. I'll pet you and I'm sure that will help my headache, too. Gosh, those calzones smell good.
Bet he's got a girlfriend................... :cool: ;)Quote:
He is filled with good news for himself personally
A girlfriend?? Now I'm jealous and will have to make my presence know. Well, presents? OK OK.. food is good, what's your fav Richard? Crab cakes? You name it buddy. Oh geez Slick and Gini ~ crab cakes enough for my two best friends too. If we're going to share then it will have to be crab balls, cakes take sooo much jumbo lump crab meat :rolleyes: Haven't been here for awhile so my treat for everyone ;)
ps: thanks Gini ;)
