IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.
Jim's Cafe - 26th July 2022
- Thread starter Walker
- Start date
All kinds of treatments under the holistic umbrella...my favorites are acupuncture, herbs, aromatherapy and homeopathics, red light sauna, and barefoot walking in the grass.
I haven't had a bagel in years but my go to was toasted poppy seed or sesame seed with cream cheese, lox, and a wee bit of sweet onion.
Not a coffee person but love the smell of it.
I quit all soy about 10 years ago, but used to eat a lot of tofu before that...a favorite was pressing and slicing it thin, spicing it, and then baking it in the oven until almost like jerky ....
If you twist my arms really hard I'll take a glazed or powdered donut if hot and fresh

“Holistic” always leaves me wondering so once again i’m wondering. i wonder if wondering is in fact a holistic thing. i wonder if someone can tell me. hmm….
to me every day is a bagel fest even without having a bagel. i love bagels with creamcheese. of course i love bagels with cream cheese and several slices of lox!!! so yum!!!
i’m ok trying a coffee milkshake. sounds ok. i agree with you Walker, (if you were sort of saying it… that coffee is best hot, but then again there are certain coffee treats that are quite cold and quite delish. but as for the milkshake, coffee one time but lets get back to chocolate please.
yay dogs and their pictures. how can we lose?
ok, i am a tofu lover. i love tofu cold with freshly ground ginger and scallion sprinkled on it and a little soy sauce and vinegar, or tsuyu, or ponzu. i also like it with cut up shiso on top. tofu is also good in hot nabe and also mabo dofu. i’ve heard of tofu yogurt but that bothers me a little so i haven’t tried it. i also think some people who love tofu thinking many people don’t like it so they create recipes that smother the goodness out of tofu. i actually love the flavor of tofu and one variety of tofu is called silken. it is practically like pudding and is my favorite. ok, just to be a bit extreme, how about a coffee tofu milk shake. wonder if anyone ever did that!!! not me 🙀
Hey Matt, great Café. I don’t know how you did it but I’m glad you got in. Fun Qs. and thanks much for the invite.

Hey @Walker ... thanks for opening cafe...feel like have been away far too long... and actually made it on the day!!!
Today is Holistic Therapy Day. What do you think of this? Holistic therapy, not having a holiday for it.--- holistic is right balance though requires creativity given $$
National Bagelfest. Now there's something I can get behind. What do you want on yours?
Oh this is so easy...everything bagel, cream cheese, lox, red onion sliced, and capers
And if donut?.... then chocolate iced with custard filling ... or if it counts an apple fritter...
National Coffee Milkshake Day. How do you feel about that? Milkshake is great but don't want it to be coffee? Coffee should always be hot? What gives?
Oh coffee is wonderful in any form....and haven't had a coffee milkshake in ages...good home from errands or would have gone to Baskin & Robins to get one...
National Dog Photography Day. Oh yeah, people, here's your chance to show off those dog photos!!
Will work on that
World Tofu Day. wow Okay, what say you on tofu? Love it, hate it? How do you want to eat it?
Agree as long as marinated e.g. to disguise it...not bad...

Heyy thanks so much for tagging me @Walker and for opening this cool & fun cafe! Glad I decided to check in again so soon or I woulda been days or weeks late for this one too lol.
Anyway here's my replies and also love the pix everyone's posted, adorable dogs!
Holistic Therapy Day. What do you think of this?
I like various holistic things sure, the aromatherapy stuff like bath salts and body lotions can be quite relaxing.
National Bagelfest. Now there's something I can get behind. What do you want on yours?
Can't eat them anymore technically but if I could I always enjoyed a regular white bagel, toasted with butter or untoasted with cream cheese. They were so yummy but I guess they aren't the healthiest things either so just as well I can't eat them anymore cos I need to lose weight anyway.
My fave kinds of donuts are glazed or the yummy strawberry filling ones and where the outside is all glazed. Aw man great, now I want to get some of those when I go get groceries later but I need to not be doing that if I want to lose weight lol.
National Coffee Milkshake Day. How do you feel about that? Milkshake is great but don't want it to be coffee? Coffee should always be hot? What gives?
I don't like coffee at all so I think I would not be having coffee ever ruining any of my milkshakes lol.
My fave milkshake is chocolate.
National Dog Photography Day. Oh yeah, people, here's your chance to show off those dog photos!!
Only had a dog as a pet once in my life, and it's when I was 8 years old. Only had it for that one year too (well, where I lived with it and saw it every day) cos then I moved back to live with my mom and didn't have to deal with my evil stepmother from hell anymore. I'm very grateful that I had him (he was an adorable tan cocker spaniel, I'll find some cute pix of cocker spaniels and post it as another reply cos just want to get this reply posted so I don't end up on page 3 lol) cos for all of 3rd grade I had no friends at all, not even 1. Yup, was a very sad time for me but having my sweet, adorable and of course very loving cocker spaniel dog for that year really helped me feel less sad and alone.
World Tofu Day. wow Okay, what say you on tofu? Love it, hate it? How do you want to eat it?
I used to not really like it much either tbh, but now I know that it's definitely just heavily dependent on HOW it's used. It needs to be flavored right, my sis is a vegan so she has eaten it for years. She got a recipe for how to use it from online where you cut it into squares, marinate it in teriyaki sauce and then bake it in the oven. It has so little flavor of it's own but when it absorbs the flavor of the teriyaki sauce like that, soooo yummy! They're also great cos of how filling they are, after eating only maybe 1 or 2 (the squares aren't very big, recipe tells you how big to cut them) cos of them having such a high protein content you feel full (least I usually do lol). Great as a snack.

I'm not sure about milkshakes, but coffee smoothies are not bad. The first time I had one I expected it to be awful, but it wasn't. I typically prefer my coffee hot, but in a smoothie, made by Smoothie King, with all the extra shit they put in there it's good.

I always say take a chance. Be open to new things. Might work, might not but no harm in giving new things a try.
National Bagelfest. Now there's something I can get behind. What do you want on yours?
I say no to bagels and donuts, now kolaches are another thing. I prefer the sausage ones but fruit ones are also nice.
National Coffee Milkshake Day. How do you feel about that? Milkshake is great but don't want it to be coffee?
Coffee should always be hot? What gives?
I don't do coffee, but a chocolate milkshake or better yet a malt is great. Either one is a drink and a dessert at the same time.
National Dog Photography Day. Oh yeah, people, here's your chance to show off those dog photos!!
Dogs, cats, and most other critters are wonderful. I typically prefer the simple antics of animals to how human may likely behave.
World Tofu Day. wow Okay, what say you on tofu? Love it, hate it? How do you want to eat it?
Tofu takes away room on the plate for the meat and 'taters. LOL

I believe that holistic therapy has it's place in an entirety of therapy. But it cannot replace certain other therapies and certain other other therapies cannotreplace holistic therapy.

Raclette Cheese! 
National Coffee Milkshake Day. How do you feel about that? Milkshake is great but don't want it to be coffee? Coffee should always be hot? What gives?Coffee milkshake? I dunno. I guess I'll have to try that. I've only tried strawberrry, banana and chocolate milkshake before
National Dog Photography Day. Oh yeah, people, here's your chance to show off those dog photos!!Ohhh I have so many photos of my dog. I'll have to look for a nice one! probably a recent one from the holidays!
World Tofu Day. wow Okay, what say you on tofu? Love it, hate it? How do you want to eat it?I mean my parents are chinese, so naturally we had a lot of tofu growing up. I only like it with a tasty sauce though. Otherwise it's a bit too bland.
My dog is the white one. This is at "Walensee", Switzerland
