Stretching One's Imagination and Having Fun

Tweet

I don't know how many of you are into "role-playing" in other type of forums...I happen to be a member of the Lord of the Rings Fanatic Plaza where one can join a kingdom and be a Hobbit, Minon of Mordor, an Elf, and maybe it should come to no surprise to anyone here, that I'm a wizard there. One of the things they have at each "kingdom" are pubs/restaurants. They are places that one came come into an imaginary pub/restaurant setting as their character and interact with other patrons there. So thought, heck why not have something like this here? We can come to this imaginary place interact with fellow MyLotters, talk about whatever is on your mind, while enjoying a hearty meal and a good beverage of your choice. Now I actually do have this role-playing restaurant at another forum, and I call it Le Jardin Enchanté (The Enchanted Garden) and I am of course the proprietor of this wonderful establishment. Setting: Imagine yourself in a beautiful picturesque typically English countryside. Maybe you've been traveling awhile and you're a bit weary, not to mentioned famished and thirsty. You are driving along a small country road, when all of a sudden you see a quaint, English Tudor styled thatched-roof inn. A sign gently sways in the breeze and the words Le Jardin Enchanté indicates that you have arrived at a restaurant/pub. You realize that arriving at such a place couldn't have come at a better time and you enter inside. You are greeted by the smells of apple, cherry and blueberry pies baking in oven, of simmering soups, and fresh homemade bread. The restaurant isn't very large, but it is nice and cozy, and has a warm feeling to it. You notice soft music is playing in the background, and recognize it to be of the Baroque genre, so fitting somehow and you feel as thought you've gone back into time. The proprietor of the restaurant greets you...her name is Pyewacket. She's not very tall, but rather slim and has raven black waist-length hair and greets you with a smile, and says, "Bonjour, Comment allez-vous? Bienvenue a Le Jardin Enchanté. Greetings to you and welcome to my restaurant." She hands you a menu and shows you to a table. Now presenting the MENU for your perusal and delight: Le Menu APPETIZERS French Onion Soup Gratinée Caeser salad Hearty Chicken Soup with Barley Cream of Potato Soup MAIN COURSE MEALS Chicken and Mushroom Crepes with Sauce Morney Beef Bourguignon{served on couscous} The Biggest Whopper Hamburger You've Ever Seen Spinach Lasagna Vegetarian Burgers SIDE DISHES Wild Rice Broccoli au gratin French Fries Baked Potato Glazed Carrots Green Bean Almondine DESSERTS Chocolate Mousse Poached Pears in Beaujoulais wine Vanilla Ice Cream with Ginger Glaze and Almonds Apple Pie Cherry Pie Blueberry Pie BEVERAGES Coffee, Tea {Hot or Iced} Herbal Teas{Raspberry Zinger, Lemon Zinger, Mint, Chamomile} Cinnamon/Spice LattéMocha LattéGlass of Wine of the House~~Red, White or Rosé{All of French Origin}Ales or beer{light, regular, heavy-duty stout Guinness}Champagne And for that special occasion~~~ Dom Perignon Champagne Fresh whole grain bread and biscuits are served with every meal, and the water provided is Le Perrier. Pyewacket is understandably a nervous wreck. She has inwardly dreamed all her life of maybe owning a quaint restaurant and pub reminiscent of an English Countryside Cottage pub.....And now the day has come....she has secured the funds to own her very own restaurant, which she has named Le Jardin Enchanté, the French for The Enchanted Garden. She has loved to cook for many a year, and is quite skilled with French Foods and has the delight of adding many of the favorite recipes she has cooked for so many years....and now she has her dream realized. She nervously straightens the linen on the tables, for about the millioneth time, and she can smell the aromas of some of the dishes she has prepared for her guests when they arrive....Now she crosses her fingers and hopes for the best Ladies and Gentlemen...the restaurant is now open for business...come and set a spell and enjoy yourself and talk about whatever you want and what's on your mind--you can talk about the weather, what's going on in your life, your dreams and aspirations...just nothing too heavy duty...the aim is to have fun here.
