Amy & Amy's Italian Ristorante!

[AmyP]

Hello and welcome to the OUALville Family Restaurant! We have all kinds of food here, so please take a menu. Note the starred items contain garlic to keep away those vampires. We can add more garlic to taste upon request at no extra charge.

New this month we offer holy water as a beverage.

Today's special is pizza with extra cheese and extra garlic.

[Bev]

I'll take a large mediterranean pizza; hold the garlic. :) Can you deliver for 5:30pm?

[Jessica]

Do you have carryout? I want to pick up a pizza for dinner!!

[Sandy]

Any pot roast on the menu?

[mama]

I want a large with extra garlic and tomato sauce. Can you come by the blood bank after dusk? Thanks a bunch. Oh. I could use some water

[AmyP]

Hmmm...Bev, is there a reason we're holding the garlic? :scratchch

Jess - Sure we have carryout. Let me know what time you'll be by.

Sandy - We sure do. It's a family recipe with lots of carrots, potatoes, and onions. Would you like some extra garlic in it?

Begona - I'll send my delivery boy by at dusk!

[Jessica]

I'd like the pizza special for the day and I'll be there around 6! Thanks!

[HollyNSC]

I would like a medium pep.....onion....I will be there by six...

[Lyoshka]

I'm just starving!!!!!!!! been running around before the grand opening of our mansion (StarDust Coffee and Home Spendings), and am exhausted... Could I order a Philly CHeese Steak sandwich?

[Sandy]

Do you require/take reservations? Do you have nightly entertainment?

[AmyP]

Holly - Coming right up....

Lena - Sure. What do you want on it?

Sandy - I take reservations, but I don't require them. So far, no nightly entertainment, but I have a karaoke machine on order that should be here by the weekend.

[AmyP]

For those who haven't seen it, here is a photo of our restaurant:

[mama]

Help! Someone is following me! I was on my way from the pie in the sky to the blood bank and noticed someone following me!

[Bridget]

Can you send two pizzas over to ASE? Thanks!

[AmyP]

Begona, I'm sorry, I don't see anyone! You should probably report the suspicious activity to the police department.

Bridget, I'll have those delivered in half an hour, okay?

[Bev]

You know what they say Amy! Eat lots of garlic and lose your friends! Or something like that. :giggle:

[mama]

I am so scared still. At least I had a nice piece of pie and some hot cocoa before this happened. Well, I'm off to the bank, I need to get ready to open for the night

[Lyoshka]

Amy, sorry for the delay, been so busy talking with my vendors, since Home Spendings Store opens up tomorrow! Ok, ,on that sandwich I want steak, cheese (Provolone), tomato, and whatever else! I'll scarf it all down! Fries, too..(with extra garlic dip on the side)

[AmyP]

Lena, I'll have that for you right before the lunch rush. Would you like that delivered?

[Lynn]

Good morning. DO you have any specials running this morning?

[AmyP]

We sure do, Lynn. We're offering a garden omelette - eggs, cheese, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and garlic with a side of home fries and your choice of bacon or sausage.

Ummm...that's provided I'm still alive. :biggrin:

[Sandy]

Do you have bagels? If so, I would love a fresh cinnamon bagel, please.

[AmyP]

Bagel is coming right up.

I have my new waitress, Buffy, coming to serve and protect as I have some errands to run this morning. Please don't forget to tip her well!

http://www.buffyworld.com/buffy/season6/pictures/112_main2.jpg

[Sandy]

Will do. Have you heard any news about Suzi's untimely death. Such a shame. Let me know if you hear anything while you are out running errands.

I was wondering if I could order some finger foods tomorrow for my PAWS event at the park. Is that enough time to be able to whip some things together? I don't want to make you pull an all nighter getting ready for it....

[AmyP]

Sandy, that's fine. Please ask Buffy for a form to fill out for special orders. I'll be able to make the food before your PAWS event if you submit the paper by the end of the lunch rush.

[Dennis]

Can I ask that you go easy on the garlic? That stuff is nasty when you are cleaning teeth all day.

[Sandy]

Great! I would like:

Chicken Wings
Deviled eggs
Lady Fingers
Fried cheese sticks w/ red dipping sauce
Red velvet cake

Can you also whip me up a batch of punch? I will leave that to your decision - whatever flavor you feel would go best w/ these items.

Per Dennis' request, as well as some of the animals' dislike of it, I ask that no garlic be used on any of the items. Thanks.

Off to check if I can get coffee delivered.

[Sandy]

Hey Amy! I just checked out the blotter and see that Mama claims to have been followed by a mysterious person last night, only to gain safety in your shoppe. Did you see who was following her? She also claims Amy and Silke were patrons in your place. Did you see them?

[mama]

Goooood morning! It is good to be alive. Can I have some oj and pancakes?

[AmyP]

Dennis - I make them as my customers order them. I will make a note on the menu that the dentist would appreciate people NOT ordering extra garlic. :)

Per Dennis' request, as well as some of the animals' dislike of it, I ask that no garlic be used on any of the items. Thanks.
Anything you want, but I have to wonder if you are requesting no garlic because you're having a vampire party???? :scratchch

Hey Amy! I just checked out the blotter and see that Mama claims to have been followed by a mysterious person last night, only to gain safety in your shoppe. Did you see who was following her? She also claims Amy and Silke were patrons in your place. Did you see them?
:secret:(This place is mine, I can't be a patron in my own place!) I didn't see who was following mama. I was busy serving food to my customers. Now that I have hired Buffy, I should be able to keep a better eye on the goings-on around town. Silke was not here last night.

[AmyP]

Goooood morning! It is good to be alive. Can I have some oj and pancakes?

Sure. What kind of syrup would you like for the pancakes?

[AmyP]

Oh, and Sandy, I'll be making my own special punch. I just need to know if you'd like that with or without alcohol? :)

[Eva]

Do you have garlic mashed potatoes? I am having a craving.

[AmyP]

Here you go!

[Eva]

Thanks so much :)

[AmyP]

Sandy, I've made some samples of your requested foods. Let me know how these are and if you want them modified in any way before I make the rest of the batch.

[Sandy]

Wow! Fabulous!!!! Great job!!! As for the punch, can you sneak some alcohol in it - just make it flavorless? I know the citizens of OUALville and know they can handle their drink. I feel it loosens up the customers a bit, particularly around some of the cold blooded creatures we will have on hand. Can you have someone deliver them to OUALville park tomorrow by 9:30am? Brandi Jo will meet you there on behalf of Rats n' Bats.

Hum. Interesting that Silke was not at your place last night. Why would Mama say she was?

A vampire party! Surely you jest! Particularly in these trying times. I certainly would not throw a party in the park, in broad daylight, if it were to attract vampires!!!

[AmyP]

How does this look for punch?

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:W0ZsV9uy_CsTiM:http://www.oceanspray.com/images/enews/apr04/straw_party_punch.jpg

[Sandy]

Looks great! Make sure it will hold up outdoors!!!

I included your shop in the advertising for the event. See this afternoon's paper.

[mama]

Can I have lunch? Everything looks delicious

[AmyP]

Sure, what would you like?

[Martian Lullaby]

Can I get one pizza with mushrooms and garlic sauteed together? Extra large please! Keepin' away those bloodsuckers is hungry work!

[mama]

Where have you been martianlullaby? Sucking it up?

[Martian Lullaby]

Well, I took a shortcut through the cemetary on my way home and next thing I know, it's Tuesday . . .

[mama]

You tell me. I was out in the woods last night looking for muffin and now it is almost time to go again

[Bev]

You know Mama, I have some yummy pupperoni treats at the General Store that Muffin might like; perhaps lure him out of the woods. Swing on by and I'll comp you some. :)

[AmyP]

Martian Lullaby - Here's your pizza!

[Lynn]

Whew. I just had a couple (maybe more) drinks at the bar. I could use some sobering up. Do you have any good comfort/stick-to-the-ribs comfort foods?

[AmyP]

Lynn, would any of these interest you?

Chicken Fried Steak with a side of mashed potatoes (can be garlic mashed potatoes if you want)

[Lynn]

Oh yes. All of the above. Nothing cures a hangover than a good amount of grease in your belly. And yes, I'll take the garlic mashed on the side.

Thanks Amy!

[Melissa]

Do you deliver to the bar? I'm buying rounds for everyone. I'll take three pizzas, two with garlic, one without.

[Eva]

Now I am craving honey garlic chicken wings. I will have an order of those with a side of potato skins if you have them and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Thanks. :)

[AmyP]

Lynn - Buffy will have your order out in a minute.

Melissa - I'll send Buffy over after she gives Lynn her order with these:

Eva - Since Buffy is busy, I'll give these to you myself:

That is one without garlic right? Someone at the bar was adament about that!

[Eva]

Thanks Amy. :)

[TtownAnne]

I was going to place my own order, but now Lynn's is looking mighty good just as it is, so send a repeat of that this way please! (although I'll substitute some spaghetti with garlicky sauce for that chicken-fried steak, please)

[AmyP]

That is one without garlic right? Someone at the bar was adament about that!

:doh: Yes, I mistyped. The bottom pizza is garlic-free. I can't promise how good the sauce will taste without garlic, but I did my best!

[AmyP]

Okay, Anne. Here you go!

[AmyP]

Okay, I'm turning in for the night. Buffy will be taking orders until midnight ET. We will close then until whenever my daughter wakes me up in the morning!

[AmyP]

The restaurant will be closed today until 7 pm for the Grand Re-opening as Amy & Amy's Italian Ristorante.

We will still be delivering the appetizers and punch to the PAWS event during the day.

[AmyLynn]

Amy - I have a few ideas for some menu items.....for the garlic lovers of course. For lunch, a garlic-white pizza, topped with alfredo, roasted garlic, mozzarella. I also have a recipe for a garlic stuffed chicken breast for dinner, that is stuffed with goat cheese and garlic. And lastly, a delicious garlic tomato bruchetta.

Mmmmmm......garrrrrrlic!

[AmyP]

Yummm....sounds great!

[Sandy]

Thank you for ensuring the delivery of the food and punch today! So far, the event is a great success with rave reviews for your goods (not to mention the special punch we have). Buffy is super nice. Amy, 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]

Congratulations on your new partnership. Your new menu sounds delish!

[AmyLynn]

As a sneak preview of our Grand Re-Opening tonight, here is our Menu......just delish! Since we are garlic lovers, you will find many items featuring garlic, including our Red Sauce.

[Lyoshka]

Oh yum! Can I order something for lunch? I want cheesy bread and an individual ham and pineapple pizza...

[AmyP]

Lena - We're closed until 7 pm ET.

[Jessica]

. And lastly, a delicious garlic tomato bruchetta.



Mmm...I'll have this, please!

[stass]

:lick: Good lookin menu!

I already ate but I'll stop over another time.

[AmyLynn]

Please note that due to the recent vampire attacks, as well as our new menu, the Ristorante will no longer be providing delivery service. We apologize for any inconvenience.

[Melissa]

Do you have sangria?

[AmyP]

I'd like to mention we're running a special while the vampires are still in town on salads with minced raw garlic on them. Since we've recently learned that roasted garlic doesn't affect vampires.

[AmyP]

Melissa, we sure do. We only serve it by the glass as to not detract too much business from the bar.

[AmyP]

Here you go, Melissa.

[AmyLynn]

Amy & Amy's Italian Ristorante will be open for lunch at 11am. Peruse our delicious lunch menu, and you can call ahead your order and reserve a table.

[AmyLynn]

How is everyone enjoying our lunchtime menu?

[Jessica]

Can I have a salad w/minced raw garlic? Thanks!

[Bev]

Can I get a pizza delivered for dinner to the General Store? I'm having trouble finding decent help.

I'd like spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, fresh mushrooms, onions and feta and artichoke hearts if you have them! I haven't had one of those for so long! :drool: I can't find good pizza here! :mad:

Beverly.....I am sorry, but we are not providing deliveries at this time...we are in the same boat as you trying to find decent help.

[Bev]

Okay, Amy. Can you make it anyway and I'll sneak over in a bit to pick it up? TIA! :)

[Nichole]

No garlic, Bev? :scratchch

[/jotting in notes]

[Sandy]

OMG, after getting some delish coffee at Nichole's joint, the caffiene has made me hungry. The pizza that Beverly ordered sounds freakin delish! My kind of pizza Beverly! I'll have what she is having please! (spinach must be sans e coli by now???)

[AmyP]

Bev and Sandy, I made you each a veggie pizza.

http://www.firehousepizzanewport.com/media/olivegreenpep-pizza.jpg

We're all out of spinach and artichoke (spinach due to the e coli scare, it should be in by the weekend, and we haven't been stocking artichoke but we will soon). I threw in black olives to make up for it. Hope that's okay with you!

[Bev]

That's okay Amy, I can pick them off. ;) Mmmmmm.

[Sandy]

I invited Shannon to dinner tonight. Can I make reservations for two in the event she takes me up on it?

[AmyP]

Sure, Sandy. Let me know what time and we'll have a table ready for you.

[Sandy]

We are on our way Amy! Please set aside at least three bottles of some Kendall Jackson merlot for us. Ciao!! See you in a minute!

[Sandy]

Ok, I am all settled in and Amy's excellent staff have me hooked up with some good wine. Now, where is my dining partner? Surely she is not out looking for her next victim?????

[Girlo]

I'm right here!! :) I'm SOOOO ready for some pasta or some pizza. :lick: Mmmm....I need to think about what I want to eat.

I hope that wine's a nice, dry red. :drink:

[AmyP]

Sorry, ladies. I was...ummmm....otherwise occupied last night and did not get to see you myself. I trust Buffy was able to serve you well?

[Girlo]

Outstanding, Amy!! :lick: As always.......

[Sandy]

Ack! To think one of my favorite people was one of the vampires all along!!! Say it ain't so! No wonder we got such great service.....considering one of the proprietors is a vampire herself???? Could it be true???

[AmyP]

:tapfoot: Who me???

Surely Amy and I wouldn't be vampires. How on earth would we manage making all those garlic dishes if we were?????

[Sandy]

Ahhh, but how much does your partner Amylynn actually handle any garlic? Hummmmmmm

[AmyP]

Sandy, a lot of those are her recipes. That's all I can say. As for me, I do personally handle garlic. Raw garlic. :)

[AmyLynn]

Since Amy has to go to Wal-Mart in the next town over, and I have some interviews, Buffy will be handling the lunch crowd today. A special today is my raw garlic dipping sauce for a delicious new bread recipe I have.......All sherrifs, self-appointed or otherwise are welcome!

[AmyLynn]

I am taking the day off......I am devastated after being accused of being a vampire even after offering proof that I was not. I am going to have a fun day with my girls.

[AmyP]

Awww...I'm sorry to hear that. I'll have you know I did NOT accuse my business partner!!! :hug99:

I have to feed my little monster before the restaurant opens. I will be at ballet class in the next town this evening, but Buffy will be handling things this evening.

[Jessica]

AmyLynn, sorry everyone thought you were a vampire!!

[Nichole]

Sorry people thought you were a vampire, Amy. Try not to take it personally; it's just a game. :)

[AmyLynn]

Sorry people thought you were a vampire, Amy. Try not to take it personally; it's just a game. :)

I know that silly! But I am taking the girls to the pumpkin patch shortly with my SIL so I will be gone for a while today.....just keeping my character in line with what I have been posting!

[Bev]

AmyLynn. I'm sorry I voted for you. Blame that on Stef. I saw the proof but at that point the lists and such were mind-numbing. I should have voted for your partner AmyP! :lol:

[gulp!]

Sure, Bev, throw me under the bus! :lol: That's o.k., I'll take the heat. :) Sorry, AmyLynn!

[AmyP]

I should have voted for your partner AmyP! :lol:

:eviltongu

If I were a vampire, would I be directly handling the raw garlic that goes into so many of our recipes???

[Nichole]

Well, you could just be saying that you're handling it, but not really doing it. :awink:

[Bev]

Exactly Phil! AND who's to say she's not wearing gloves?? The other Amy? Well, she'd lie to me; I voted for her!! :lol:

[Bev]

Stef, no worries. My vote tonight is between you and AmyP for lack of anything other than that's what I feel like.

I take bribes. :)

[Melissa]

Let me have every dessert you have on the menu, since I'm dead, it won't stick to the hips!

[pam]

Are you gals still serving dinner? I'm in the mood for some lasagna tonight. Could I get some to go? Things are pretty scary around here & I don't want to be out after dark.

[AmyLynn]

Pam - we could have your order ready to go but Buffy is off for the night so I don't have anyone else available.....I need to stay at the restaurant.

[pam]

I can pick it up if that works.

[AmyLynn]

Pam - call 10 minutes before you leave to come here......I will even give you a free order of my new bread recipe and raw garlic dipping sauce.

[AmyP]

Hi everyone! I have to take my truck over to the next town for an oil change, and then my little monster has swimming lessons in the same town, so I won't get here until the middle of the lunch rush. Buffy will be here to help you out, though. Please let me know if you have any trouble. I should be here by noon.
