Guests mix up

So another group are in and my aunt says, "I just can't connect with this group… like they just want me to be the front desk girl at the hotel!" Would be Ark's perfect guests but the show is in our town so Arks misses out…..

I spent the day vacuuming inside and outside. (Have to get all those leaves and grass picked up after weed whacking and mowing around the pool before they decide to take a swim!) I haven't decided whether vacuuming or sweeping cement is easier…..One is noisy while the other is hard labor…. But I got a break when our neighbor took a break from remodeling one of his condos to come over to chit-chat. He ended up giving us a tour of the place. It was very nice!.

We have a group in this weekend I can't connect with at all. So I left. Gomez is on his own. All thru breakfast this morning it was like treading water in treacle. Hope it goes better tomorrow. But I won't know. I'm 250 miles away.

My fussy guests with the list of "off-limit" breakfast food, arrive tonight. If any one remembers the list of "off-llimit" foods has 100 things including; fats, borsch, fried fish, chicken, toast, "no" toasts, eggs, farm fresh meat, grains. No sausage, garlic, low-fat dairy products, mashed carrots, no pork, beef (just lamb and venison) cheese with mold, brussel sprouts, sunflower oil, low-alcohol beer, cabbage.... blah blah blah.
Any one want to switch for the week?
Tomorrow morning our breakfast will include, fresh-lemon croissant french-toast, BACON (the rest of us still are Canadian), fresh edible flowers, yogurt and a huge pile of fresh cut fruit (that isn't to strong smelling).
Please say a prayer for us this week.
Blessings on you and all you love.

Morning one done.
They are a delightful couple, young and in love. Anxious to make life in a new country.
I asked what they would like!
Fresh bread and jam, so I made the bread last night, check.
Side of rice, check.
Black tea, check.
Lots of fruit and yogurt, check. No processed fruit, just fresh, check.
Fish, sorry I don't do boiled or steamed fish for breakfast.
Please no fats, no toasted breads, no sweet syrups, no eggs, no pork or juice, check.
No nuts or seeds roasted. Just raw, check.
So, I set the table with two breakfasts. Their requests and this one for our Asian guests:
Croissant french toast with fresh lemon, homemade cherry syrup, almonds, roasted seeds/cranberries, Canadian striped bacon, heated Saskatoon berries and heavy greek yogurt.

We all sat down to eat and do you want to guess what they ate?
Thanks for the prayers, they are/were appreciated. I am able to laugh at the situation and enjoy their company. 5 more to go.

Oatmeal? Did you ask them what they normally eat for breakfast? If the cost of what they are asking for is extenuating, did you ask them to contribute more?

Yes they asked and I told everything, eggs, milk, vanilla. Full disclosure at my table.
They ate everything. Seeds, nuts, BACON, cooked Saskatoons, syrups, everything. Now tomorrow they asked for Waffles.... waffles? We are their first Canadian experience so I am thinking they thought the food would be something different, maybe packaged or frozen and reheated?
They did tell me after breakfast that they would not like alcohol in anything or to drink. Easy ;-)

I would have been livid. You spent time going over their ridiculous list and baking bread just for them and it was unappreciated! AND they don't follow their own diet.
Yikes.
On the other hand, you got to introduce them to new foods and to the new culture. I guess, if you want to go optimist on this one, it's pretty darned cool!
