Animal Cuisine

I headed up to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning this morning. Lottie informed me that it was time to build two new facilities: a restaurant and a cafe. I decided on a restaurant first, so we headed out to the site and I customized the outside of the building.

The exterior of my restaurant in Happy Home Paradise.

Once I got inside, Lottie informed me that I can now used colored lighting–so I went with some purple lighting. I added two large imperial dining tables, several smaller tables, several stained-glass (ceiling) lights, a checkout counter, and a salad bar. For the wall and floor, I used a brown hallway wall and a rush tatami flooring.

I also had to design the kitchen, and I added a variety of kitchen appliances, sinks, a kitchen island, a deep fryer, and a fire extinguisher. I used a white-brick wall and restaurant-kitchen flooring in here.

If you’d like to see how it compares to the restaurant I designed in Happy Home Designer, you can see that here.

Once I was done, it was time to assign roles to the chef, apprentice, cashier, and employee positions. Here’s a look at the restaurant staff:

Lottie asked me to name the restaurant, and I decided to call it Animal Cuisine.

Open for business.

We went outside to take a celebratory photo for the grand opening. Bon appetit!

Back at the office, Lottie paid me 25,000 Poki for my work. She also said that she’ll treat us to dinner there sometime soon.

And back in town, Static sent me a skeleton in the mail. I’m assuming it was a threat of some sort. 😛

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, so I dug up the five pieces of his communicator and returned them to him. He will send me a gift in the mail tomorrow. I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow, so I hope to see you then!

French Fried, Request Denied

On Sunday, I found a large order of French fries at the campsite. It was Frita, who may make me hungry, but I didn’t place an order for her. 😉

Frita: I kinda came out here on a lark, but this place seriously rocks. I'm in love, oh ewe!

I gathered up Wisp’s spirits for him, and he rewarded me with a wall shelf with bottles.

On Monday, Jolly Redd’s ship was in town. He didn’t have any art that I needed, but he did have this really cool standing shop sign!

Redd: Like the best zydeco albums, it's impossible to get enough of a standing shop sign.

There are a variety of things you can display on the sign, but I was more interested in displaying my patterns. It looks so much better than the plain wooden shop sign! I bought five of them to use in my castle.

Out on Lottie’s Island last night, the shop had a medieval building side for sale. It’s like a castle wall, but with a jail-bar window. That would make a good outer wall for a prison. I bought it, although I don’t plan on using it immediately. It’s always good to have things like this in storage (and in my catalog) just in case I end up getting another Rizzo someday. 😂

It says it costs 8,800 Poki for a medieval building side.

Today, Static tried to tell me that he was going to move out of town. He even asked me if his news “shocked” me. ⚡

Static: Did I shock you? I mean, I just decided here on the spot! I wanna see how I do somewhere new.

But of course, I told him not to leave. Maybe making shocking threats is his outlet for his emotions, but I have the power to keep him grounded. 😉

Flick was in town, but I didn’t have any bugs to sell him…except for one wasp that I caught tonight (for 3,750 bells).

Believe it or not, the 2nd anniversary of New Horizons is coming up on Sunday! I won’t be having an anniversary party this year, but I will be posting my annual slideshow either Sunday or shortly after.

I’ll be back with another entry soon! I need to get back to designing more houses for Paradise Planning! The fate of my castle depends on it! 🏰

Going Green

Yesterday, Gullivarrr was in town. I went diving for his phone, and I found it on my first dive.

I received my latest NookLink item in the mail, a Nook Inc. doorplate. Hopefully my neighbors won’t confuse my house for a new Nook shop. 😉

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so I made my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover. I posed here next to some green furniture in my house.

When I ran into Bones tonight, he started yelling!

Bones: I'M YELLING! IT'S ME! I'M THE ONE YELLING!

He wasn’t mad or anything, he just wanted to practice yelling since there were no buildings around. 😛

Today, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate outfit in the mail.

I found a lost item (a book) on the ground, and I eventually returned it to Marina. She rewarded me with a garbage pail.

Marina: A garbage pail...

K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night performance, and he played K.K. Ragtime for me, Sasha, Louie, Bones, and Hornsby. It must be guys’ night. 😛

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Agent S replaced the Wii Fit trainer? Of course you haven’t. But that’s what my latest video shows: Agent S as the new host of Wii Fit S. I hope you’ll give it a watch and enjoy a laugh or two. 🙂
