Before we close for the festive period, giving all us volunteers a chance to rest, eat too much, watch silly movies and have a laugh. Of course some of us will still be working hard in the cafe doing some re-decorating and sprucing-up. No rest for the wicked! Our final day is this Sunday the 21st, and we’ll re-open on Friday the 2nd. Come and see us before Sunday and have a mince pie!! I’ve been happily making batches of them all week. One of those, warm, with vanilla Swedish Glace ice cream, and maybe a cup of tea….wintery heaven!



Thursdays are nice

Today we have a shepherds pie on the menu….comfort food is just what you need on a chilly day like this.
Also a tomato and mushroom lasagne with wedges and todays salads.

Does everyone know about Green and Blacks chocolates recently starting to add milk powder to their products? I have no idea why this is happening, maybe it’s cheaper than making pure chocolate or something, but I’m writing a letter to them about it, because it means Pogo won’t be able to use their stuff anymore to make yummy cakes with. Tsk.

And that means it was hectic! On the menu today is:
Pizza topped with aubergine, red onion and mushroom served with wedges and salad.

Noodle stir fry with cabbage, mushroom, onion, peppers and sweet chili sauce.

Lentil and veg curry served with brown basmati rice.

Sweet potato, squash and coconut soup.

Come and see us!! You know you want pizza.



Omg.

What a busy day! Sundays are nice, we had a big busy breakfast from 11 til 4, I was flippin’ pancakes non stop all morning. Maple syrup was sorely missed by a few customers, but y’know…credit crunch and all that.
Dinner was burgers, mushroom and red onion risotto, cashew nut roast and bangers and mash with old-school Pogo gravy.
