Fiesta Friday #78

You know what? I just realized I don’t have a picture to set as the featured image on here. We haven’t been selecting features.

So I’m posting this picture, instead.


red white and blue fish | fiestafriday.net

It’s our new baby.

We got him on the 4th of July, so we’ve christened him Liberty, shortened Libby for everyday conversation.

It’s a girl’s name for a boy fish, but the truth was we had no clue at the time that we bought a boy fish.

At any rate, the daughter felt that we’ve liberated him from a depressing life of being stuck in a cup on a store shelf. And besides, he’s red, white, and blue. So, the name stays.

Oh, how my kids love Libby! They’ve been deprived of a pet for so long that even a pet fish is enough to get them so happy.

For now, at least…

Yesterday I overheard their whispered conversation. They’re plotting to steal the neighbor’s cat…

    Thanks again for hosting Angie and a great job by everyone last week with the tribute to Selma. Hope you have a better weekend. Happy FF! :))

      July 24, 2015 at 8:14 am

      Thanks, Quinn! I can already tell it’s going to be an awesome weekend. Happy FF!! 🙂

    What a cute fish! I never had pets as a child, so can imagine the excitement. We have vaguely talked about getting a dog when the kids are older, but can’t say it too loud as my three year old has a bit too good a memory and will no doubt nag! Was so nice seeing all the tributes last week, I still have a couple to go back and read but am getting there.

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:23 am

      It’s such a pretty fish; it caught our attention right away. I never saw a red, white, and blue fish before. I have to say the kids are taking good care of it. They’re reading up a lot on how. Maybe I’ll reward them with a “real” pet. And I made a mistake of saying it out loud, so now my afternoons are spent going to animal shelters 😀

    What a pretty little Libby 🙂 welcome to the family xx

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:25 am

      It is a pretty fish, isn’t it? We just love looking at it. Thanks, Elaine! XOXO

      • Elaine @ foodbod says

        July 24, 2015 at 8:27 am

        I would imagine it’s pretty hypnotic?

        • Angie says

          July 24, 2015 at 8:29 am

          How do you know that?! I was just going to say it feels so peaceful just watching him swim. You’re psychic!

          • Elaine @ foodbod says

            July 24, 2015 at 8:30 am

            Yep, that’s me!! Ha ha 😉

            • Angie says

              July 24, 2015 at 8:32 am

              Lol 😀

    Such a pretty fish. I have a couple of feral cats living on my verandah called Lurch and Gomez (Fester died). You are most welcome to one of them. Hope you have a lovely week-end.

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:27 am

      Don’t tell that to my kids; they’ll definitely take you up on the offer 😀 We’ve been looking for a puppy, but we have allergies in the house so we have to select the right breed. Have a wonderful weekend, Hilda! XOXO

    Libby is such a beautiful fish! I think almost every pet fish I knew growing up was a goldfish. Hope she lives a long and happy life! 😀

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:31 am

      We got a couple of gold fish when my son was very young. We had no idea how to take care of them, so they croaked very soon after. We probably overfed. We’ve learned our lesson. I hope Libby can live much longer 🙂

  6. Jhuls says

    July 24, 2015 at 8:34 am

    Your Libby is so cute! Her colors are just pretty. And really a great name to call her. Thank you for hosting FF, Angie. Have a lovely weekend. xx

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:39 am

      It’s a boy, Jhuls! I call him “her” all the time myself since he’s so pretty. He’s a pretty boy! I hope you’ll have a great weekend, too. XOXO

      • Jhuls says

        July 24, 2015 at 9:03 am

        Haha, yes! His colors are making tricks on me. 😀

    Beautiful fish – fighting beta I believe! I used a live one in a cake for Gene once – made a hole in the cake, lined it, filled it with water and added the fish – only briefly for the picture. I bet I still have that picture in my cake file. Happy FF – I am here – a little busy today but will be checking out everyone’s posts. More good ones I can see…

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:42 am

      Yes, fighting betta. At night when he sees his own reflections, he flares and gets all big ready to fight the “other fish”, haha…so fun to watch! That’s a great idea what you did; my girlfriend also used live betta fish in the centerpieces at her wedding. Have fun co-hosting! XOXO

    I am in love with Libby!!how cute is he/she??it is very confusing these days!!;)
    My kids would pester me to no end if I show them Libby’s pic! We have brought a tank but no fish! I don’t think I can deal with one more thing to take care of!! Happy FF!

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 8:47 am

      Fish are pretty low-key as pets. They don’t need much care other than feeding and cleaning the tank. Your kids would love doing either task! Then they can move on to a more serious pet 😀 Happy FF, Su!

    What a cutie Angie!! Happy FF!

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 10:54 am

      He really is! Can fish understand you, I wonder? I sometimes think he does, haha… Happy FF to you, too!

  10. Natalie Browne says

    July 24, 2015 at 10:04 am

    Thanks for hosting, Angie. What a lovely fish, we have one just like it. My 7yo is pretty sure that because he’s able to take care of the fish so well that he’s now ready for a puppy, lol.

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 11:06 am

      Kids! They’re never satisfied with what they have, lol! We’re looking to adopt a puppy ourselves. Have a wonderful weekend, Natalie!

      • Natalie Browne says

        July 24, 2015 at 1:12 pm

        So true, lol. Have a great weekend!

    What a patriotic little fish! Adorable 🙂 Happy FF everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 2:15 pm

      That IS a patriotic fish if I ever saw one. Still can’t believe he’s perfectly striped red white and blue! Have a good one, Sarah! ?

  12. Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake says

    July 24, 2015 at 12:05 pm

    Gorgeous fish Angie, love the name! I like that you featured a very patriotic pet this FF, because I’m bringing along something very British – just promise not to throw it in the harbor okay?! 😉

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 2:20 pm

      Oh what is it?! Can’t wait to have a look. I don’t know why people think British food is bad. It’s a myth! The time I was there, I had great food! So many varieties. I even had very good Japanese-style noodles! Maybe things are changing?

      • Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake says

        July 24, 2015 at 3:12 pm

        We have some awesome food in Britain, all of our traditional foods tend to be very heavy though, like stews and shepherd’s pie, things like that – which I guess it what gives us a bad reputation!
        We have some of the best Asian food outside of Asia though!

    What a beauty Libby is, Angie! 🙂 Happy FF and hope you have a fabulous weekend!

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 2:21 pm

      He is a pretty boy, Anugya! My kids love him! Happy FF to you, too! ?

  14. Arl's World says

    What a very pretty fish and such a fitting name! Happy FF Angie!! 🙂

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 2:23 pm

      I think we were lucky to get him at the right time. The others were not so pretty. Plus he was so perky! It’s a great little fish with personality! We love him. Can’t believe I actually said that about a fish! 😀

  15. Swayam says

    July 24, 2015 at 2:55 pm

    Love Libby!! he looks so happy 😛 Thanks for hosting yet another FF..I am sorry I wasn’t able to link up for Selma last week. I was unwell myself and on total bed rest..Have dedicated this link to her.

    • Angie says

      July 24, 2015 at 3:10 pm

      Not a problem, Swayam. So glad that you’re feeling better. Selma Tribute is permanently open, however. You can double dip and link to that as well. The link is on the sidebar –>

    It is a beautiful picture os a very graceful looking fish 🙂 I am finally here and all ready to paaarty! Happy Fiesta Friday! 🙂 xx

    • Angie says

      Yay, Petra, party on!! So exciting to have you co-hosting with Judi! ??

  17. Josette@thebrookcook says

    July 25, 2015 at 8:31 am

    Is Libby a beta? Love her (his!) red, white, & blue!! (& name!) We had the LONGEST living beta fish ever… I think they were over 2 years old. They would have lived even longer- but my cat kept drinking their water! It’s a long story, but that didn’t help their life span…. Happy FF! 🙂

    • Angie says

      July 25, 2015 at 12:27 pm

      Yes, he’s a pretty boy betta! I’d be happy if we can keep him for 2 years or more. Some people claim online theirs lived up to 7 years. But for us 2 years would be a huge accomplishment since the last goldfish we had lasted less than 2 weeks! We gave them too much food! 🙂

  18. Margherita says

    July 25, 2015 at 10:21 am

    Libby is very cute Angie! I’m sure he is very grateful to be in your house instead of being in a depressing bowl stuck in a shelf!

    • Angie says

      July 27, 2015 at 6:16 pm

      I sure hope so, Margy. We do spoil him! 🙂

  19. indusinternationalkitchen says

    July 25, 2015 at 12:54 pm

    What a handsome fish Angie! And what a fitting name you guys chose considering its red white and blue pattern! In my house too kids have to be just content with only a pet fish. There is no room for any other pets! 🙂

    • Angie says

      July 27, 2015 at 6:46 pm

      I know what you mean. But oh, how my kids beg and beg for a puppy. We finally put in an application at a local animal shelter, but I’m putting my foot down that we won’t be adopting a pit bull! 🙂

      • monumolu says

        July 27, 2015 at 8:16 pm

        good luck! 🙂

    So Excited for this Fiesta Friday Angie… Last weeks tribute to Selma was so beautiful… I loved seeing so many of her recipes!
    This week is no exception with so many recipes… I’ve already visited so many and added it to my “must make” list!
    Love your fish Libby too… 🙂 What an apt and beautiful name!

    • Angie says

      July 27, 2015 at 6:49 pm

      Thanks, Dini! I’ve been trying to join your Saucy Saturday, but I haven’t been motivated to cook in this heat! I have to get my act together! 🙂

    Libby is so cute! What a patriotic fish! I had never seen one like it before and the name Liberty is just perfect!
    We started with a fish too and then our daughter graduated to a hamster:)

    • Angie says

      July 27, 2015 at 6:55 pm

      Oh, you’re so smart! I should have offered that! Instead we’re now awaiting the right puppy to come along from a local shelter! What have I done? 😀

      • Sandhya says

        July 27, 2015 at 9:00 pm

        You are a good mom, Angie!

      • Sandhya says

        July 28, 2015 at 9:58 pm

        Oh you are such a good mom, Angie! Plus you are giving a puppy from the shelter, a good home too. God bless you.

  23. Food Daydreaming says

    August 3, 2015 at 9:12 pm

    Ha, I love it, the fish, the name, and the bubbies’ plan to steal the neighbour’s cat 🙂

    • Angie says

      August 5, 2015 at 8:51 am

      They’re moving on to puppies! We’re now approved and registered with a local animal shelter to adopt, should the right puppy arrive. 🙂

      • Food Daydreaming says

        August 5, 2015 at 7:05 pm

        Yay, that’s great news… well, for them… pictures please when you get one 🙂
