Fiesta Friday #130

Greetings from Baltimore!

Uh huh, I’m out of town again. But this time it’s for an important event. The son is receiving a scholarship. Yay!!


We decided that we should attend the ceremony. It’s close enough that we can drive. And it would give the son an opportunity to speak in front of a crowd. It’ll be an exercise to boost self-confidence and to learn how to show gratitude, grace and humility, yadda yadda yadda… All that good stuff, you know.

But honestly, we also want to take a little break and of course… go for the Maryland blue crabs!

We’ll take an extended weekend here and hopefully when we go back home we’ll feel rejuvenated. And then hopefully… I can finally finish a recipe post, geez!

Now, Features!

Peach and Pistachio Tart
from Caroline @ Caroline’s Cooking

“Caroline’s tart made my peach cravings stronger. The tart was beautifully presented and I love that she included pistachio. I love everything in this tart.” — Jhuls

No Churn Strawberry Peach Ice Cream
from Andrea @ Cooking with a Wallflower

“What?! Did we miss National Ice Cream Day?! Darn it! Thankfully we didn’t miss this strawberry peach ice cream. And what?! No churn?! Love it!” — Angie & Colleen

Homemade Mascarpone Cheese
from Mollie @ The Frugal Hausfrau

“I love mascarpone cheese a lot, but I can’t find it all the time. I was amazed by Mollie’s homemade version. I can now make anything with mascarpone anytime I want. Yay! Cheesecakes!” — Jhuls

Karuveppillai Chutney Powder from Cooking From My Heart

“This is intriguing and unique. I’ve never seen curry leaves used in this manner before. I’ve definitely never heard of chutney powder. It’s worth trying!” — Angie

    • Love your peach tart! It’s a beauty! My biggest challenge is sorting and editing photos, yawn!! Wish I can just cook, take pictures, dictate, then all of a sudden magically the post will publish itself! I need a wand!

    • Thanks, Julianna! I hope I’ll be able to sit still long enough when I come back so I can work on my recipe posts ? I’m beginning to know what it feels like to have ADD. I feel like I can’t concentrate! Help! ??

      • Lol! Maybe if they were MINE, haha! Seriously, what a wonderful young man he must be, and you must be very proud! I know as a parent, if you’re anything like me, there’s times you throw up your hands, moments of self doubt and when something like this happens, we know we’ve done something right. I don’t know what I’m talking about…rambling…as a new puppy mom I’m not getting enough sleep, lol!! Congrats again!

  18. I’m ready to party Angie – Friday was a little crazy for me! Scholarships are a good thing not only for saving you money but the honor of receiving one. Congrats to all of you and have a beautiful weekend.

    • Thanks, Judi! You’re absolutely right. It’s not so much about the money, though it helps, as it is about the recognition. We’re all very proud ? I’m excited you’re ready to party!! Have fun!!
