Pie in the Sky ~ A Pie Shop, Among Other Things

[Nichole]

Welcome to Pie in the Sky! I'm Nichole, your purveyor of pies as well as various and sundry edible goods. We have a lovely lunch menu in addition to many delicious pies. If you're in the mood for a spot of tea or coffee, we have many varieties from around the world.

Pull up a cushy armchair and enjoy your food and drink as you read from our large selection of novels. The books are yours to read as long as you like, we just ask that you return them when you're done so that someone else may enjoy them. Just leave the little card from the inside of the book in the little box at the counter if you'd like to borrow one. :)

Today's specials are garlic chicken pot pie, garlic mashed potatoes, garlicky schezuan green beans, and roasted garlic french bread.

The pie of the day is boysenberry.

[gulp!]

Oh, thank goodness! A place to get coffee in this stinky town! I'm in desperate need of some caffeine, and the only thing around here seemed to be booze. :giggle:

[Nichole]

What can I get you, Stef? Our coffee menu today is:

House Blend (regular or decaf)
Breakfast Blend
French Roast

I'm also testing out a seasonal spiced pumpkin flavored coffee.

[Silke]

Finally...I am starving :giggle:

[sheila]

I'll take a latte, please... caffeine is always a good thing.

[Nichole]

Here you go, Sheila!

[gulp!]

I do love me some pumpkin coffee- serve me up!

[Nichole]

You got it! It comes with a small pumpkin cookie for dipping. New recipe I'm testing out. Let me know what you think. :)

[Silke]

Any espresso for the sleepy alchemist?...been up all night working on my special potions. :shhh:

[Nichole]

One shot or two, Silke? Can I interest you in a pastry as well?

[Silke]

Two shots....chicken pot pie with lots of garlic, please.

[Barb]

Do you know how difficult it is to find anything boysenberry outside of California? I'd love to partake of a piece of boysenberry pie!

[Nichole]

Coming right up!

(I've just learned that there's apparently a My Little Pony named Boysenberry :giggle: )

[Barb]

Oh, that looks so good. Do you, per chance, have any ice cream or whipped cream that could go on top? :lick:

[pam]

I'd love a latte, too. Could you make it iced & decaf?

[Nichole]

Fresh whipped cream, Barb! :)

[Michele]

I'll take a pumpkin coffee too. Our coffee maker is broken, and I'm jonesin' for a cup!

[Ana975]

I'd love some warm apple crisp with icecream and I'll try your pumpkin coffee.

[Nichole]

Sure thing, Michele!

[Silke]

You have been quite busy :giggle:

on to dessert........a boysenberry pie, please.

[Barb]

Ahem, don't you want to have lunch first before moving on to pie? :shuffle:

[Silke]

I did...Nichole makes the best chicken pot pie in town

[Ana975]

I must say, Nichole, you have the best service around town! The apple crisp was yummy!

[Barb]

How soon before you're hungry for dinner? :)

[Silke]

[Jessica]

Do you have any pumpkin spice cake?

[Nichole]

Oh hey, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!

And I see that Barb has swooped in on bat wings to draw my customers away. Huh. Tsk.

I'm glad you enjoyed the pot pie, Silke. Thank you for the compliment! Your pie:

Might I interest you in some garlicky pot pie for lunch? :)

No spice cake today, Jessica. I'm sorry. I will add that to tomorrow's menu for you. I do have some pumpkin cookies that go along with the pumpkin coffee if you'd like to try one of those today.

Cookies are on the house because I'm testing a recipe. Let me know what you think of them. :)

[Nichole]

I just took a fresh boysenberry pie out of the oven if anyone is interested! :)

[Jessica]

Ooh, I'll have that instead!

[Nichole]

Oh, and I just stocked the book racks with a few new titles.

Vampire Staking for Dummies
How to Spot a Vamp
Step Away from the Crucifix: A vampire hunter's tale

[Nichole]

You got it, Jessica! Would you like some fresh whipped cream with it?

[Darcy]

Yum! I love dessert. Got anything chocolatey? Like a brownie with whipped cream? No cherry on top, though. Not a fan.

[Brandi Jo]

pumpkin coffee please, I need some quiet time away from my offspring. I'll be borrowing Step Away from the Crucifix: A vampire hunter's tale ...where do I leave the card?

[bunybomb]

I'm off to lunch (can't tell you where) but I would like to join Darcy for something chocolatey when I return. Whacha got Ms. Nichole?

[Nichole]

Sure thing, Darcy!

Please leave the card in that little recipe box by the register there. And you can go curl up in any of the fluffy armchairs over there while you read. I won't rush you out. :)

Becky, today I've got brownies and chocolate chip scones. Just let me know what you'd like and whether you'd like it warmed up. :)

[Brandi Jo]

Nice coffee and cookie...I think the cookie needs a drizzle of icing. Off to the beauty salon...I'm in need of a new 'do. I left the card by the register....

[Stacey]

Great shop. I think I'm going to open up a shop next to (or maybe connected to) yours. This is your warning. :lol: Shopping at my place while sipping coffee would be perfect.

I'll be a good neighbor, promise. :)

[Nichole]

Thanks, Brandi. I'll remember the icing next time.

Excellent! Welcome to the neighborhood, Stacey! :) I look forward to checking out your place.

You know what this town could use? A good shoe store. Oh, and a good place to get some clothes. I hate having to drive to the next town for that stuff.

[Bridget]

Nichole, I was just popping by to say "hello" when I heard the strangest sounds outside. It made my blood run cold. Have you heard if there have been any wolf sightings in town during the day?

Do you have a delivery boy? I need some lattes!!!!!!!!!

[gulp!]

:errr: wolves? That's not good for the bunny hutch I keep at the Inn.

[Bev]

I have some clothes at the general store Nichole. The black keeps selling out but I do have some in stock. :)

I would like a hot tea and boysenberry pie. I've never had boysenberry pie before. I'm not even sure what a boysenberry is! :lol:

[Nichole]

Wolves?! I haven't heard anything about wolves, Bridget! :errr: I hope that's just a rumor!

No delivery boy yet, but it's looking like I'd better get one! Competition is getting stiff around here - I see a new coffee shop opened down the street. I hope it won't take my customers away. :(

Bev, I will be right back with your pie. I've got one that's just about ready to come out of the oven if you'd like to wait for it. Boysenberries are very similar to blackberries, but they're more plump and juicy.

[Nichole]

Ok, here it is! Fresh out of the oven, so be careful not to burn your mouth.

[Sandy]

I think all strange disturbances like the one Brydgyt heard should be reported to the police. Should someone start a police blotter?

[Lyoshka]

No delivery boy yet, but it's looking like I'd better get one! Competition is getting stiff around here - I see a new coffee shop opened down the street. I hope it won't take my customers away. :(


greetings, Nichole! Keep meaning to introduce myself to you! I'm Lena, the ownder of StarDust Coffee(mainly gourmet coffees and a few scone pastries) and Home&Beyond store... We opened up on the corner of Circus Street and Orchid Lane, so we are actually clear across town from you, so no worries, I'm not here to steal your customers... this way, we can both serve the needs of our precious OUALville coffee-drinking customers....

I did hear that you serve some yummy pie here!! Is Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake on the menu today? And a cup of Earl Grey tea, please!

[Nichole]

Hello, Lena! Thanks for dropping by to say hi! I'm happy to hear that we shouldn't be in too much competition with each other. :) I do try to offer a nice range of coffees and teas, but my bigger focus is my food and providing a nice cozy place for people to congregate.

Maybe we could possibly work on a partnership? We could probably get a good deal on regional coffees and teas if we order together. And I could provide some of your baked goods if you'd like.

Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake? It's not on the menu today, but I may have a slice or two in the freezer that I could get out just for you. :) I'll get your tea started while I get that cheesecake, OK?

[Nichole]

Ok, your tea!

Cream, milk, and sugar are over in the corner there if you take them.

[Lyoshka]

Oh, Nichole, that sounds great!! I'll be waiting for that tea and cake right over here...

A partnership would be wonderful! I have a couple of GREAT suppliers for coffee, but nothing going on with pastries/cakes. I was going to bake them myself every morning, but recently, I decided to also open up a Home&Beyond store, since our new building has more than adequate room in it! Have you seen it? It's the estate of the late Frank Kozumello (have you heard about his mysterious death??? I couldn't talk much about it in the official response to an email in my own shop, but I hear all kinds of strange details of how he died...screams that ppl heard....blood on the door frame....)

Anyway, the Home&Beyond store will focus on serving our citizens' needs in anything related to their homes and there will also be a huge baby department, all kinds of strollers, baby gear and free recommendations. We will also have a baby registry!

Perhaps we could work something out where you could move to our new estate building, and we could conserve efforts to run the operation together? I think I have more room for the coffee shop than you do in here... My location is excellent, too (Circus st and Orchid Lane), and I'm just down the street (2 bldgs down) from Deb's Bar, and you know how high the traffic is there!!! What do you think? Perhaps, you can run the coffee shop part of it, and I could run the Home/Baby store?

[bunybomb]

I'm baaaaaaack and waiting for my brownie. Please top with french vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. It's going to be yummy with my cup of StarDust coffee.

Thank you.

[Lyoshka]

Here is that building I was telling you about, I'm SURE you've seen it!
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6ce23b3127cce8d3421a2dde900000016108AcOGbJq2bOK
The two wings overlook the courtyard and the coffee shop and a Home/Baby store would be perfectly located here! If you would run the coffee shop, this would free up more of my time to go hunt for great strollers, bedding and home gadgets!

[Nichole]

Hi there, Becky! Nice to see you back! Here's your brownie with fudge and ice cream.

Lena, that is an interesting proposition. I may have to think on that a bit because I do like my location here and have a pretty loyal following. Can I sleep on it?

Yes, poor Frank. :disbelief Very odd circumstances there...

[bunybomb]

Oh Nichole....this brownie is to DIE for!!! Ahahahahahah! It's perfect with my venti cafe-mocha-vodka-valium latte with rum whip cream from Lena's shoppe.

[Nichole]

I'm so glad you like it! I use imported dark chocolate in it. So, it's not a stretch to say it's a little healthy. :awink:

[Lyoshka]

Nichole, of course! If it doesn't work out, that's fine. I will still help you with my vendors if you'd rather stay in your location. I will send you a portfolio of nearby attractions we have, so you have something to think about. I have a moving service getting some furniture for us tomorrow, so if you do decide to move, we can get it all done at once. We can keep the name as you like......here is another idea for a name, too:

[Nichole]

Thanks, Lena. I think I'm going to pass; I'm really attached to this place. It was my granny's before it was mine, so it wouldn't feel right to leave it behind. Too many good memories here. :)

I'd be happy to provide all of your pastries and baked goods if you'd like to let go of that responsibility at your place. I make a wonderful sourdough and my scones are rich and delicious. :)

[mama]

Can I have a piece of pie and a hot chocolate before I open the bank for the night?

[Michal]

do you serve steamed milk? I don't drink coffee.

[Mandi]

Can I get iced tea here too? I'm not much of a coffee drinker. :)

Boysenberry pie is the pie of the day still, right? I'll take a piece of that too.

[Nichole]

Mama, here's your pie

[Nichole]

Just letting everyone know that the kitchen is closed for the evening. You're more than welcome to hang out and read. If you'd like to bring your own bottle of wine, feel free to indulge as you read. Please just clean up after yourselves before you leave.

Doors lock at 10pm. Good night! :)

[Lyoshka]

Nichole, pastries from you would be great! I, on the other hand, will be happy to provide you with great coffees from my suppliers. I have a couple of guys who get it fresh and warm from just being roasted in Venezuela and Brazil-to die for!!

Hey, this will work! I will have my coffee shop opened from 6 pm till midnight with food and pies and coffees, and during the day it will be just coffee.

[MrsPeacefrog]

Nichole, my kids will be coming down in the morning to pick up some pies and pastries to bring to school. One of their friends had a horrible tragedy in the family and I would like them to pass it on to their parents as a condolense from the staff at my bar. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you this afternoon at happy hour!

[Sandy]

Good morning!

I am hosting a PAWS event at the park tomorrow - or at the Inn if there is bad weather (provided there is a conference room acceptable there) - and was wondering if you could provide coffee service for the event. It is from 10am-2pm.

[Lynn]

Got any good dark chocolate in this place? I've got a sweet tooth this morning.

[Nichole]

Good morning, ladies!

Today's special offerings:
Pumpkin spice cake
Cream cheese & blueberry scones
Spinach and extra garlic quiche
Roasted garlic potato soup

Fruit pie of the day: apple

[sheila]

Nichole, another cup of joe would really help me get going this morning. Maybe a nice croissant, too?

[Jessica]

Nichole, I'll have the pumpkin spice cake and a cup of tea, please! I'll be back around lunch time for the garlic soup!

[Nichole]

Deb, I'll have the pies and pastries ready for your kids. :aok:

Sandy, I can definitely provide coffee service for your event! Would you like some baked goods as well?

Lynn, of course! I have a few different varieties of extra dark chocolate. Take your pick! :)

[Nichole]

Sheila, sure thing!
Today's special coffee is Wake the Dead dark roast:

[Brandi Jo]

coffee and a scone, por favor! I need something to munch while I mull over taking a job for Bats and Rats.

[Barb]

I need to take a break from cleaning up the Bar & Grill after last night's concert. Can I have a cup of industrial strength black coffee and a slice of that quiche? After what happened last night, I think I need to fortify myself with some extra garlic. Thanks!

[Nichole]

Scone and coffee, Brandi:

I may not be around as much today. I've got a sick kid to tend to.

[Sandy]

Fantastic! I think I have food set up, but I really wanted quite an extravagant coffee set up. I figure with all the noctural events around here lately, there are a lot of people who are not getting any sleep.

[Barb]

I hope your little munchkin feels better soon.

That quiche is yummy! :lick:

[Jessica]

I'll take the soup of the day, please! Hope your kid is feeling better soon!

[Ana975]

Could I have your famous pot pie to go? Thanks!

[Sandy]

I included your shop in the advertising for the PAWS event tomorrow. Have a look at the ad in tonight's newspaper. Can you have someone deliver/set up for us by 9:30? Brandi Jo will be there to meet you on behalf of Rats n' Bats.

According to weather reports, it looks like we should be ok to go forward with the event in the park. Will you be able to attend?

[Bridget]

I'm sorry your little boy is sick. Is it OK if I help myself to the pumpkin chiffon pie? I'm famished!

[Hilary]

:snob: My order was ignored at the other coffee shop, so I'm coming here for all my coffee now. Hmmm, maybe the owner is scared of law enforcement!

Can I get a mocha?

[Darcy]

Man, I'm famished! I'll have to come by after we close. What's your special today?

[Lynn]

I'm in the mood for a mid-afternoon snack. Since you mentioned you had extra dark chocolate available, I'd love a brownie a la mode, please. Oh! And a skinny mocha to go with.

:lick:

[gulp!]

just stopping in for a lovely hot chocolate and a quick chit chat. :)

[Nichole]

Howdy, friends! I'm sorry I'm so behind! I've been tending to my sick one. We just heard that it's not strep, so that's good. :)

Ok, here we go!

[Darcy]

Sorry to hear about your little one. He didn't catch it from anyone I'm watching, did he?

Maybe I'll just have a chicken salad sandwich. Got any of those lying around?

[Hilary]

Yummy! Thanks!

[Nichole]

I hope not, Darcy. It's not a fun bug. :( I was able to whip up a sandwich with some of the leftover chicken from making pot pies. I put a side of minced garlic next to it just in case you need extra. :)

I'm glad you like it, Hilary! :aok:

[Darcy]

Oops, there isn't any garlic in the sandwich, is there? It gives the little guy gas pretty bad, so I've been cutting it out of my diet since I'm still nursing. :blush: There isn't any in the sandwich is there?

[Nichole]

Oh no, not in the sandwich. Just on the side. Do you want me to take it from you? Just hand it to me, please.

[Darcy]

On the side is fine. Just didn't want to overload on the garlic. Thanks, Nichole.

[Michal]

I'd love a Chicken Cesar salad with some panini bread and a glass of water. Also, could I get some lemon wedges with the salad?

[Lyoshka]

Nichole, i just have to have one of your delicious scones!!! Do you have any of those cherry ones? they are delish!!!!!!!!!

Do you think we could revisit our conversation about our coffee/pastries partnership? I would love to put in an order for your pastries for my evening menu (starting at 6 pm)... Oh, and i'm expecting a coffee shipment tomorrow, did you want any of my Arabica coffees?

[Nichole]

Ok, no problem Darcy. Just making sure you're not overly afraid of the garlic. :awink:

Here you go, Michal!

That sounds great, Lena! :aok: I've been keeping my place open in the evenings without food, but I'm getting nervous with all that's going on. :scan:

[Michal]

That was great, how much do I owe you?

[Nichole]

The total for your lunch comes to $6.66. :)

[Stacey]

Nichole, do you have any pumpkin pie? I'd love some. And some coffee please. :)

[Lyoshka]

Wonderful, Nichole ! You serve pastries all day, and I'll take over pastry sales in the evening, then! Would you be able to get me some tonight, or is tomorrow better?

Still waiting for that scone... i can smell it.or smth yummy, anyhow!

[Nichole]

Oh shoot, I forgot your scone, Lena! :duh: I'm so sorry! I've been very distracted today with my kids.

Stacey, your pie and coffee:

[Lyoshka]

Goodness it's heavenly! THANK YOU! Charge it to my MansionVisa acct , ok?

I would like a variety, i guess. DEFINITELY some Scones....muffins....pies...sandwiches would be good, too. What else would you recommend? What are people hungry for, when they are scared?

[Jenn]

Can I get a chocolate croissant, please. Oh, and a large cafe mocha would be nice. Fat free and decaf, please. :)

[Stacey]

Thanks, girl. I'll be next door if you want to chat. Looks like business is busy for you though. :)

[Melissa]

Can I hang a concert poster in here?

[Lynn]

Man oh man. Those brownies were something else. Thanks! :lick:

Don't tell my boss though, okay? She promotes healthy eating at the hospital. :shuffle:

[Bev]

Nichole, where are you getting your chocolate from? My supplier seems to be missing or at least he's slow to deliver the goods!

I had a :catfight: in the store last night over the last chocolate bar! I hope to have a delivery tomorrow morning otherwise things could get tense in OUALville what with the vampires and the lack of chocolate! Pretty scary stuff on their own, but together, fugghedaboudit!

[stass]

I am wantin' for a huge gooey brownie. I am waiting for a beer over at the bar but it's taking a long time so I hopped over for some chocolate fix!:lick:

[Ana975]

Nichole, could you have Suzi's favorite desserts (lots of crack brownies) delivered to Deb's bar for her memorial at 7:00 p.m.? Let me know if it's a problem.

[Nichole]

Good morning, everyone! I am so sorry I disappeared last night! I got uh, hung up. :scan:

I hope you were all able to help yourselves to whatever you needed while I was indisposed. I like to work on the honor system here. :)

Melissa, go ahead and hang your poster!

Ana, I will definitely get those brownies ready for the memorial service.

[mama]

I need a brownie with extra chocolate

[Nichole]

Here you go, Begona!

[mama]

Thanks. I will see you later.

Ummmmm. Excellent

[Nichole]

You're welcome!

Ok, I'm putting everything out where you can all help yourselves because I have to make a trip to the doctor. We've got some sore neck, er, throat problems here.

[Sandy]

Nichole, we missed you and the delivery of the coffee today at the PAWS event. What happened last night that got you hung up???

So far, the event is a great success with rave reviews for your goods (not to mention the special punch we have). Nichole, you must try and come by the event yourself - we are having a very special guest come by to discuss a highly specialized breed of attack dog!!! Perfect for everyone, in light of the tragic events befalling our fair city.

[Lynn]

Would you be able to supply some light refreshments for OUALville's AA meeting? Please let me know.

Thanks.

[Nichole]

I'm terribly sorry, Sandy. I tried to coordinate that delivery with someone, but I guess she didn't show. :( Everyone's just so skittish these days, you don't know who to trust anymore.

What happened last night? Oh, just an unexpected meeting with someone. Nothing major... I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to your event today. Still tending to a sick kid and well, I'm not a big dog person. :shuffle:

Lynn, of course! Let me know what you need. :)

[AmyLynn]

Nichole....I hope that the Pie in the Sky will be able to handle the increase in business as the diner switches to an italian lunch and dinner menu.

If you need additional help at lunch, I would be more than willing to help interview candidates...reliable help is sooo hard to find these days.

[Nichole]

That would be great, Amy! I've had a hard time juggling this place and home life lately, so extra help would be wonderful! Thank you!

[Lyoshka]

Nichole, the pastries you sent were a huge hit last night. The customers just ate them up alive! I will definitely need more tonight. Could we also coordinate a bigger menu- I may be hosting a memorial service for Hilary at 9 pm, and will need sandwiches and other more substantial foods? let me know, otherwise i have to crack on that cooking!

[stass]

I need a large coffee and a 0 calorie donut. :)

[Melissa]

The concert is about to begin!

[MrsPeacefrog]

Amylynn or Nichole, I need pastries STAT! the Peppers are still hanging out in the VIP room and I promised them some of your world famous pastries.

[AmyP]

Deb, you'll have to ask Nichole. Amy's and my new restaurant aren't offering breakfast anymore.

[AmyLynn]

Nichole.....I slept terrible last night and was up way to early for my liking. Coffee please!

[gulp!]

Deb, send them over to the Inn. I have a bunch of Lena's pastries here that they can eat. Oddly enough, I asked her to deliver them last night around 11:30, so that she could sleep in in the morning. :(

[Sandy]

Coffee please, double shot of espresso. Plus one to go. I am not getting any sleep lately.

[Nichole]

Help yourselves to the coffee and pastries, friends. I've decided to make this place self serve all you can eat. :) The sneeze proofed buffet is set up right over there. Dig in!

[Michal]

Whoo hoo, thanks Nicole, cinnamon buns and hot chocolate here I come!

[Lynn]

Maybe I'll just send the AA meeting attendees over here after it's done. I'm sure they'll be hungry.

[Dennis]

Do you have any cinnammon rolls? My kids love them :)

[Bev]

Hiding from someone Nichole? :lol: Or looking for someone? :scan:

[Nichole]

Yes. :giggle:

[Lyoshka]

Can dead people enjoy pastries still? i mean, physiologically.

[Nichole]

I don't see why not. The best thing is that you don't have to worry about calories anymore. :lol:

Help yourself! I've got any kind of pastry and baked good you could ever want to eat here!

[Silke]

Could I have a double-shot espresso, please? I am about to fall asleep standing.

[Nichole]

Sure thing, Silke!

http://images.picsearch.com/is?xfPOi45H2iSgucLtisMHJex159pkkP0_QX7qd60PYJQ

[Lyoshka]

A platter of pastries, please! (for me) I've decided that being dead means you can't gain weight, so I'm making up for all the baked goods I told myself I couldn't have while alive....hehehheheeeeeee Oh, and a coffee with Baley's with that, please! Let the gluttony begin!

[Stacey]

I need some sweets when I'm nervous. So I'll take some pecan pie please. :) And some cafe au lait (spiked please). :) Just yell when it's ready. I'll be next door.

[Silke]

Maybe on to some dessert before heading back to the lab. What's your special today?

[Eva]

I will have a piece of that pecan pie as well. Oh, and a decaf. Thanks :)

[Nichole]

Bananas foster, Silke. :heee:

http://images.picsearch.com/is?GWJ_FW2maFlPgmwMaHcm8_ebFDMVrLdw7mkAtLxRhGc
Stacey, you still want the pie or would you prefer the special? :awink:

Here you go, Lena. I hope it's enough. :lol:

[Stacey]

I'll take the special. You talked me into it. :)

I'd still like a 'special' cafe au lait too. Or was that last drink for me?

[Nichole]

That's a Bailey's and coffee, Stacey. Would you like that or something else?

(running this place is bad for me. I'm hungry now. :lol: )

[Stacey]

That's good. Thanks. :)

[Silke]

Oh.........................ehm.......................everything looks so good. I take the special and maybe I can steal some from Lena's plate, too. Dang you, now I want something sweet IRL. :giggle:

[Nichole]

Okey doke. :aok:
http://images.picsearch.com/is?uoh6JfFGIe3vHbimcqt3bJ35BE0NlbXwxqaijYeA7hI
I hope you don't mind that I was a little careless and overpoured the Bailey's a bit. ;)

[Silke]

I see, they got "Amerikaner" on that platter as well. Yum.

[Sandy]

Latte for me, please. I have the afternoon sleepies.

[Nichole]

Lena probably won't mind if you share with her, Silke. If she does she can come to me and I'll get her a fresh spread. :awink:

(:secret: what's Amerikaner?)

[Nichole]

Sandy -
http://images.picsearch.com/is?zx9Wo9zS3WfVAX2XwhkEixDfS9okSglDYj9NhT712r0

Are you sleepy because you were up all night? Hmmm...? :awink:

[Sandy]

Well, yes, but not because I was killing anyone!!!

[Nichole]

Uh huh. [/jotting]

[Silke]

(:secret: what's Amerikaner?)

:hehe: do you see that round pastry (half chocolate/half powdered sugar glaze) on the top right?

[Nichole]

The one at the very edge of the picture?

[Stacey]

Okey doke. :aok:

I hope you don't mind that I was a little careless and overpoured the Bailey's a bit. ;)
Ha! You've known me long enough to know the answer to that. ;)

[Silke]

The one at the very edge of the picture?
Yes, the cut-off platter.

[Nichole]

What's it like? Is it a butter pastry or a fried one?

I figured as much, Stacey. :toast:

[Silke]

What's it like? Is it a butter pastry or a fried one?

It's baked, sort of cakey. I have a recipe :awink:

[Nichole]

Mmm, cakey... :drool:

[Bev]

Jeez, looking at all those pastries has me thinking a butter tart would be pretty yummy right about now. :drool:

[Sandy]

Nichole! I heard the news this morning. I am so sorry to hear about your death. A bit like a horror movie scenario though, wasn't it? Haven't you seen enough of those? I will blame the poor judgment on the spirits you had consumed that night over at Debs.

So, does this mean no espresso this morning????

[MrsPeacefrog]

I almost feel like I am to blame :blue: If I didn't keep serving you guys Sangria's and shots then maybe you would still be here! :bawl:

[Sandy]

Free will, Deb. Free will. Knowing those two :rolleyes: they would have gotten it from somewhere else, if not from you. At least we know they couldn't really feel any pain when they got attacked.:nana:

[Stacey]

Meh, Deb, it was our choice to get drunk. We had a hell of a night. Sandy's right, we were feeling no pain.

Thanks again for the fun night at your place.

[Nichole]

Hey Deb, no worries. Like Sandy said, I would have found it somewhere. I'm just glad it was at your place and that I didn't have to go alone. No pain, baby. :lol:

Pie in the Sky will remain open as a help yourself place like it was just before my death. I will probably be too busy to wait on everyone because I'll be back in the kitchen gorging myself on cheesecake and whatever I feel like eating. No calories when you're dead! :woo: :lol:

[Sandy]

Hey! Tell me if you can still taste stuff when you are dead!!

[Stacey]

Yes, you can still taste, Sandy. And guilt-free tastes like you wouldn't believe!

Nichole and I will be pigging out in the back of her shop. Come over and let me know if y'all need anything next door at the scrap shop.

[Sandy]

Coolio! How will I know if you are there? Can you send me a sign?

[Silke]

I go ahead and help myslef to a coffee then :awink: :lol: I was worried, I wouldn't get any coffee in this town anymore.

[Bev]

Sorry to hear of your death, Nichole. But hey, what a way to go, eh? :lol:

[sheila]

Ahhh, to be served by the Philiminator.

[Nichole]

He's a nice little placeholder isn't he, Sheila? :brow: (I hope it's ok that I changed my name. :shuffle: )

[stass]

I am so pissed that DH finished off the pie from CND thanksgiving and I was so looking forward to eating some. :hopmad:

YOu have any strawberry rhubarb crumb? :lick:

[MrsPeacefrog]

So do we have to complete tasks to get fed in here now? please, I can't stomach cows tongues :errr:

[Nichole]

No tasks, Deb. You just have to serve yourself because the proprietor is now dead and lazy and gorging herself. :lol: You can come back into the kitchen and join me if you'd like. I'm currently working on polishing off a german chocolate cake. :lick: Oh, and a strawberry rhubarb pie, thanks to Stacey. (come on back for some, Stacey. It's nice and tart. :lick: )

[Michal]

I think I'll help myself to some pumpkin pie, thanks Nichole. Btw, sorry you died :(

[Melissa]

I think I'm going to join you and gorge as well! :woo:

[Lyoshka]

Nichole, DUDE! Sorry you got died, man! But you already figured it out-we can eat all we want MUAHAHAHAA
How was that chocolate cake?

[Silke]

Oh gorging is good especially with no calories :lol: It has gotten mighty quiet around here in town. Like a ghost town :lol:

[Nichole]

Boo! :lol:

[Stacey]

more pecan pie, por favor. and some of that yummy spiked coffee. i don't think it was bailey's that I wanted though. don't people put something stronger in coffee sometimes? whiskey? rum? i don't know what it is, but i want that. :lol: oh, and the pecan pie. yes, a double order. grassy ass.

[MrsPeacefrog]

No tasks, Deb. You just have to serve yourself because the proprietor is now dead and lazy and gorging herself. :lol: You can come back into the kitchen and join me if you'd like. I'm currently working on polishing off a german chocolate cake.

You know I wouldn't have overly complained if it meant I was flying around the world :awink: but well I can handle gorging on cake too :drool:

[Melissa]

mmmmmmmmmmmm cake!!!!
