Fiesta Friday

Food + Friends = Fun

Fiesta Friday #180

Btw, I recently noticed that when I replied to your comments via iPhone, the emojis showed up as question marks on the blog! I had no idea, duh!

So if you were getting question marks from me, it only meant I was blowing you kisses, k? Like this –>?

But now I realize I looked like a fool with all the question marks. What a moron ??? See, doesn’t that look stupid?


It was supposed to look like this:

What a moron ???

I’m such a dumb dumb! Oh, well…it’s not like you didn’t know that before, anyway. So, I’m good ? I’m among friends here, anyway. Right? < — This one is a legitimate question mark.

And with that, may I request more of you to be cohosts, please… Be involved and participate, please… Ain’t no fun having a fiesta without participants’ involvement.

I promise you that it’s easy to host/cohost. And the benefits and fun (the fun!) outweigh the time invested. Ask past cohosts if you don’t believe me.

Thank you, dear friends, in advance.

And now, features!

Low Calorie Mushroom Manchurian Dry from CH @ Cooking From My Heart

“An absolutely delicious-sounding and light but filled-with-flavor recipe, starring one of my favorite vegetables, mushrooms. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to save the recipe, it looks so good!” — Petra

“Ditto, Petra! You took the words right out my mouth!” — Angie

Lobster and Truffle Butter Ravioli from Petra @ Food Eat Love

“I have to give credit to Petra, my fellow co-host this week, for her amazing lobster creation. Petra fills her lovely blog with creative dishes and her adventurous use of the lobster shows why her blog is so inspiring to others. No ingredient is off-limits for Petra.” — Laura

“She did it again! I actually ran to the grocery store to get lobsters because of this recipe! They didn’t quite make it into ravioli, though, shhh…” — Angie

Soft Grandmother’s Apple Pie from Ruta @ Estonian Cuisine

“Although on the simpler (and healthier) side of desserts that’s actually what I love about this pie from Ruta. Easy to make, no fancy ingredients or techniques needed. I’m also impressed that the pie uses sour milk – like kefir – a dessert packed with good bacteria, now that’s worth sharing!” — Laura

Soft Chocolate and Cherry Tart from Shinta @ Caramel Tinted Life

“I’ve seen lots of cherry packed blog posts recently and this pie from Shinta really stood out. As Shinta herself says, her tart is firm and crumbly on the outside and soft inside. And did I mention the cherries are bathed in dark chocolate? Yum!” — Laura

  1. Hi Angie! I giggled at the question mark / emoji story :p I would love to be co-host in august (July is a bit too busy with work and holidays) if you would want me to 🙂 Happy Fiesta! xxx

  2. Yes, yes, yes, finally I am an early bird, yay! I would also be willing to co-host. What does that entail exactly?

  3. Thanks so much Petra and Angie for featuring my Mushroom Manchurian and for all those kind words 🙂 Two weeks in a row and I am totally inspired to cook more, click more and share more 🙂

    Angie – I can co-host too, probably two or three weeks from now. I would like to know the rules for co-hosting though 🙂

  4. Hi Angie! I can co-host but no sooner than 3rd week of August as I am on holiday from next week, and actually away. So I’ll be here again next Friday and after that I probably won’t have any new recipes for 2 weeks.

  6. Hi Angie.. hope you are doing great..myself has also faced this emoji problems?!!
    I have never been a co-host.. I’m free right now.. so I can also be a co-host .. I’m free this month and in the first half of August too..please let me know.. happy FF?!!

  9. So happy to see I’ve been featured!! I have my eye on the low-calorie mushroom Manchurian… we just had Cauliflower Manchurian for dinner and now I can’t bear myself to do any more deep-frying in a long time. Baking wins over deep-frying any day!

  11. Hi Angie so just so I’m clear I really shouldn’t be adding emojis when commenting on posts using my phone? And yes a call out to those reading – be a cohost and you won’t regret it!

  12. I can see squares and question marks instead of emojis when I read from the computer. I think it’s because of the compatibility issues?? When I open Facebook messenger at work and use the Toshiba laptop I have, I notice that the emojis I have there is not the same I have on the phone.

    • I’m so glad I’m not the only one with emoji problems! I thought I was going nuts! ?? I think you’re right about incompatibility issue, but I suspect it’s with WordPress since all my devices are Apple products. But who knows?!

  13. I’ve done that before and it’s like whaaaatttt!! Usually if I see something strange like that I figure it’s an emoji mistake. I will often not type words but use emoji’s evidently its quite the thing saw something about it on the news the other day, this could pose a problem if the emoji’s are off. They do vary from devise to devise, app to app. Hope you have a wonderful week Angie!!

    • I know, right? That’s how I feel. Definitely making me feel stupid sending all those silly question marks. I think it’s actually WordPress software fault. I guess I need to update. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Blogging keeps me on my toes! You have a great week, too, girlfriend! ?

  14. hello Angie
    I wouldn’t worry about the emoji’s you are so lovely as you are! 🙂 It happens all the time to me but I just ignore it, I think we all know what you mean!
    Thank you for the feature. I hope you enjoyed the lobster.
    I could co host first w/e of August if that helps? I will be late dues to the market but if you don’t mind, just let me know! x

    • Aaw…thanks, Petra! ?? Can you do Aug 11? That’s FF184. Btw, you keep saying the market…I must have missed your post on that but are you a vendor at the market? That sounds so exciting!

      • hi Angie!
        Yes I got myself a market stall! Hot sauces and fresh pasta every Saturday. https://bit.ly/2uumwrB I am quite sure I could do Aug 11th but let me check and get back to you, am waiting for someone to confirm if they are coming or not that weekend but will chase them! 🙂 x

        • Okay, that’s perfectly fine. Oh and I just read your post. I’m so excited for you! Maybe you can sell dry spice mix too. It’s got a long shelf life; start with Elaine’s dry harissa mix! Just an idea ?

          • Hi Angie
            You must have read my mind, I just got a few spice jars to see if I could come up with an interesting spice mix! Good call on the dry harissa! Will have to pay royalty to Elaine! ha ha
            Honestly all ideas are always welcome! 🙂 x

      • hi Angie
        So sorry I just realized I didn’t reply. Yes I can do FF Aug 11th! 🙂 x
