Fiesta Friday #114

It’s hard to believe it’s Friday already! How is that possible?!

Just a few weeks ago, I was complaining about how slow things were moving, but now everything is flying. Which goes to show that time is relative. Unlike the speed of light.


Okay, stop. This isn’t a science lesson.

This is Fiesta Friday. Land of the free, home of the brave.

Wait. That’s not it, either.

This is Fiesta Friday. Where food + friends = fun.

That’s it! Now I remember! Do you remember?

So, gather round, friends, gather round! (Or is it gather around? Oh, never mind, this isn’t a grammar lesson, either.)

Let’s have some fun, with lots of food! ‘Coz that’s what life is all about!

Now, features!

Rainbow Lollipop Birthday Cake from Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake

“Michelle’s cake was a work of fun and whimsy–her description of it as part Willy Wonka and part Dr Seuss was right on point. Set aside the subtlety and elegance–it takes a great deal of spirit to celebrate your thirtieth birthday by celebrating your inner child!” — Laurie

“This cake!! Call me obsessed. And speechless. So I’m just going to echo everything Laurie said. Since she described it so manifestly precise.” — Angie

Salt Blocks for Serving, Cooking and a Few Recipes from Juju @ Cooking With Aunt Juju

“This is such an informative post. I’ve heard of salt blocks vaguely, but I’ve always thought they’re just, you know, salt blocks! A slab or block of salt you can set your food on. Either that or a chunk of salt for livestock. I had no idea they made them into bowls and cups! Now I’m on a quest to get hold of one of these cups.” — Angie

Lemon and Anise Easter Bread from Laurie @ Ten Times Tea

“So, this is like the Italian Easter Bread, except it’s manyfold better. With mascarpone and raisins filling and sumac dyed eggs! I’m completely bowled over!” — Angie

Pineapple Mango Coconut Bars from Lily @ Little Sweet Baker

“This was summer encapsulated in a bar! The flavours and colours were both incredible, and Lily provided suggestions as to how this base recipe could be easily adapted to so many other fruits and flavour combinations.” — Laurie

Crab and Avocado Roll in Lobster and Crab Broth from Petra @ Food Eat Love

“This was full of creativity. Petra is the master of applying ingredients in creative ways…she used the crab meat as a filling and then the shell for a broth, and the avocado was represented by the roll and by a rich and delicate avocado mousse. The end result was stunning!” — Laurie

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #114 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs. My solo co-host this week is Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

If you’re new to Fiesta Friday, please read the guidelines

    Thanks so much for the feature 🙂 I had fun with this post and plan to continue with grilling if it ever warms up – 3 to 4 inches of snow tonight!!! Still not sure what to do about my computer – a big inconvenience!

      I hear you about the weather! I was ready to put away my boots but snow is also predicted here tonight. The salt block cups really got my attention, but maybe I should try the regular block first. They’re all so interesting, though.

        Using hard boiled eggs in the cups was a great idea of yours. There are more things you can do with the blocks from serving, cold desserts, salads and entrees!

    Hi Angie – good to see you again! Like Jhuls I’ve been having a bit of a moment – sometimes life gets in the way of life, I suppose! What amazing features I’ve missed – I hang my head in shame …

      🙂 I sometimes feel like we should all just consolidate our blogs into one BIG blog. You know like Food Network or the Kitchn? But then who’ll do all the administration? It’s just a thought 🙂

        I know what you mean – admin is one thing, identity another!

          Identity(ies) wouldn’t be the problem, I don’t think. Each blogger can have their own space, so to speak. It’s just a matter of who should be the editor in chief or the head honcho 😀

      I know!! And the anti gravity cake she brought last week too. That’s why she’s the top feature for 2 weeks in a row. I feel if she didn’t get featured for both, it’s a miscarriage of justice! ??

    I can’t believe it’s Friday and for some reason the past two weeks I have not gotten emails from FF, I just re subscribed not sure what happened. Happy FF Angie, have a great weekend.

      You may have accidentally opted out WordPress subscription emails, Suzanne. You are now subscribed directly to FiestaFriday.net, thanks for that, but I have yet to set up an email delivery plan that works for me and I suppose I should do it sooner than later since FF has now accumulated a few hundred email subscribers. In the meantime you can check your WP.com subscription preference or follow thru WP reader. How’s everything? I may need you to step in on cohosting one of these days. Only if you want to, of course ??
