Fiesta Friday #74

Hey, guys!! I feel like I haven’t been here for a loooong…time! Remnants of TS Bill (maybe? or maybe it was just a regular old tornado) visited us and I had to deal with 2 days of no power and internet service. Aaand…a refrigerator + freezer full of melting mess. Aaand…a yard full of scattered debris and fallen trees. Aaand…a hole in the fence…and so on…

Anyway, things are starting to get back to normal, which is a relief. And most importantly, everybody in the neighborhood is safe!! Although it looked like a war zone around here for a while.


Consequently, I didn’t have much time to visit your posts. I’ll make up for it this weekend, ok? I intend to party ’til I drop! Are you with me?! I know our co-hosts are! They’re Loretta @ Safari Of The Mind and Caroline @ Caroline’s Cooking.

Please link your posts to their blogs as well as this post. That way you’ll be considered for features. Like these posts from last week’s party:

crispy-fish-tacos-with-jalapeno-cilantro-sauce1Crispy Fish Tacos With Jalapeno-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce from Anjana @ At the Corner of Happy and Harried

“Anjana shared her scrumptious looking crispy fish tacos. Her pictures and presentation just make you want to have them for dinner too! I try to stay away from fried foods but I will make an exception here as these tacos are just too special. I mean fried fish, a jalapeno yogurt sauce, pico de gallo and even some avocados – now who’s not to like this dish. No wonder she had trouble keeping her husband and son away from eating those fried bits of goodness. I mean she had to get her pictures!” — Judi

Poached Eggs over Smashed Tater Tots from Andrea @ Cooking with a Wallflower

“I love breakfast food, but I rarely eat at breakfast time – I could definitely be persuaded to eat in the morning if somebody brought me this dish from Cooking with a Wallflower – so many delicious flavours and textures, forget breakfast – I’m making this for dinner!” — Michelle

Lemon Dill Rolled Cake from Laurie @ tentimestea

“I can’t host FF and not pick a cake in my features, that would be madness and you’d probably think I was sick! Even without my major sweet tooth, this cake takes a top spot for me this week! I love herby cakes and the way the dill is added to this cake is just too beautiful. With such fresh flavours, I could almost pretend this is good for me!” — Michelle

Pork Tenderloin with Warm Harissa, Couscous & Roasted Vegetable Salad from Josette @ thebrookcook

“Josette brought one of my favorite cuts of meat, pork tenderloin. But this is no ordinary dish as she adapted it from Martha Stewart, so we know it has to be good. Look what’s included, harissa paste (just love all of the spicy ingredients), couscous and roasted vegetables that are tossed with a warm salad which includes herbs, tomatoes and onions. Then the pork slices are added to this very appetizing meal. Even though summer has started and I think of this kind of dish in terms of “Fall” I am looking forward to making this regardless of the weather – I can always grill the pork!” — Judi

    Hooray, I’m ready to party! (Well for now, my jetlag seems to kick in later in the day still and I’m not good for much, but will try to make the most of my earlier-in-the-day energy!) Some tasty-looking features as ever, looking forward to seeing what everyone brings this week!

      So, have you been prowling the house at odd hours during the day or night? Haha…that’s usually what I do when I have jet lag. Once I went out to garden at 5 am, with the deck lights on. I wonder what the neighbors thought? 😀 Great to have you, Caroline!

        Actually thankfully I haven’t been up too crazily early – I think our super long travel day getting home at midnight local time helped with that – although I did do gardening on the first day around 7am. And even more importantly, my toddler has been OK too. By the way sorry to hear about all the damage etc, glad you are getting back to normal now, hopefully!

          Thanks, Caroline! Things ARE getting back to normal, but several friends still have no power. We also tried to buy a bigger chainsaw to clear all the fallen trees, but the stores are out of chainsaws!! Can you imagine?? 😀 😀

    HEY Ang!!! WOW- what a mess it must have been, the idea of all of my food that’s in my freezer melting makes me want to cry- I have a giant freezer on top of the normal one, I’d die! I’d just die. I hope you were able to salvage some of it perhaps!? Glad that things are getting back to normal for you! Thanks for throwing a party anywayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! WAHOO!!

      I saved the MOST important thing in my fridge! Butter! 😀 Oh, and my coffee creamer. Can’t live without those! Everything else is pretty much ruined. Yep, I did cry a little but here’s a chance to start fresh. Thanks for being here, Steph!! I really love having you around!! XOXO

    I won’t be able to attend FF properly this week (sad face) because I’m away all weekend for a wedding and mini break, definitely gonna pop in and see some of the offerings when I get a chance though! Thanks for having me last week, I had a blast!

      It was a nightmare! Some traffic lights are even still off right now, which makes driving nerve-racking! Thanks for co-hosting last week! I wouldn’t have been able to put together this week’s party and features w/out you and Juju. Enjoy the wedding and break!! So needed that mini break, isn’t it? XOXO

      Thanks, Hilda! It all came so quickly! The damage in town is quite intensive. We just heard from friends who haven’t had their power restored, after 3 days! Too many power lines down! We were very fortunate considering.

    The number of severe storms seems to be increasing- so scary! It is the WORST to lose power… especially when you are losing tasty leftovers & produce in the fridge. Sorry that happened to you. 🙁
    On another note… Thank you so much for featuring my dish from last week!! Yay! Thank you Judi!! Happy FF! I am planning to join the party this week- belatedly, once again. My kids had their last day of school yesterday… too many kids at my house to be able to blog!

      I never realized how much I relied on electricity & Internet until I lost them! I mean, 2 days!! My kids and I actually had a group hug when they came back on we were so happy! Unfortunately there are areas in town still without power 🙁 So glad your dish got featured, Josette. I’m always in need of pork tenderloin recipes.

    And thanks to you and last week’s co-hosts for the feature; what a surprise, but I’m very pleased! Oh gosh I’m become a perpetually late FF partygoer… but I’ll sneak in sometime before the party finishes this week 🙂

      Thanks, Loretta! Power came back on early this morning, thankfully. While at the mall, we saw our neighbors who told us we can file insurance claim for spoiled food! Who knew? I did throw away a lot of food, but I thought it was better safe than sorry. Thanks for co-hosting!! Can’t imagine doing this alone! XOXO
