Question:
Well folks, in all the excitement, I believe we may just have forgotten to open the bar tonight! 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?


Answer:
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?


Answer:
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!


Answer:
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.


Answer:
Ooooooo, that taco dip sounds good! One glass of wine coming up!
We can sit by the fire and breath deeply. There used to be a juke box in this place. Haven't heard it played recently. What would you like Jen?


Answer:
Oh oh oh ! Ghirardelli dark chocolate???? Bring it on! Glass of wine for you, Karen!
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.


Answer:
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


Answer:
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


Answer:
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!
I was thinking of something mellow myself.

Answer:
How nice to see you behind the Bar for once, Karen! Last week, I missed the chocolade Martini - I'd love to try one now! I'll put my feet up and hope someone will light the fireplace.


Answer:
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.


Answer:
*hiding biscotti behind back*
what biscotti?


Answer:
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................)
