Fiesta Friday #136

Hey, peeps! So, how did you all spend your Labor Day weekend?

Let me tell you how I did mine.

I took my Mom, who came to visit for the 2nd time this Summer, which is very rare…in fact, never…and my brother and family, who also came to visit, to Lancaster.


And while we were there, I was thinking…hmm…this is just a couple of hours away from the son… I’m talking approximately, more or less, give or take, plus or minus…

The point is, it was definitely doable…to visit the son from where we were.

So we were debating whether we should or not. And while the debate dragged on, I let the car move…

Closer and closer to the son… Until of course, tadaa… We were there! At son’s school!

But then I started panicking. What if he got mad? After all he wasn’t answering my calls. He was probably busy and didn’t want any surprises.

And then I had an idea. What if I said it was Grandma who wanted to see him. Nobody could refuse Grandma, right? So, as I was mulling over the plan, I took Skye for a walk on campus. Yes, she came along, too! She got so many compliments!

Grandma, meanwhile, was sitting down and resting inside the Student Union. Well, what do you know? The son found her! Gave her quite a fright when he called her out of the blue!

And guess what? He was happy to see us! Phew…

So that was how I spent my Labor Day weekend. Which should explain why I was having a hard time keeping up with your comments. I was busy having too much fun!

Now, Features!

Tiramisu Frappuccino by Naina @ Spice in the City

“I am in a coffee ban until the end of this month and it tortures me when I see anything with coffee. I tried to ignore Naina’s post, but I just can’t. Coffee ice cream, mascarpone, chocolate sauce – everything I love in one glass. Naina always makes everything more appetizing!” — Jhuls

Bourbon Bacon Jam by Mollie @ Frugal Hausfrau

“I’ve never had bacon jam but one look at this and I knew I had to try it immediately.” — Suzanne

Pork Tenderloin & Mustard Fruits by Petra @ Food Eat Love

“Petra is an artist, this is fine dining at its best. Simply delicious!” — Suzanne

Super Swedish Cinnamon Buns by Matt @ Rough Eats

“I’ve been craving for cinnamon buns for a while now, but I want the homemade one. The recipe I have is with espresso and I still can’t consume anything caffeine. Seeing Matt’s post made me swoon – it sounds really fantastic. I love the addition of cardamom seeds that I bet adds extraordinary flavor to the buns.” — Jhuls

      Took me awhile to figure out what was wrong. Apparently there’s a screen option on each post that allows you to disable or enable comments. I still have no idea how it was disabled. Maybe I accidentally hit it when I was typing too fast?? Who knows. But I’m glad it’s fixed now and I have to thank you for letting me know ??

    Hi Angie! I’m glad you got to see your son! This is your son who just left for college, right? You must miss him tons… Labor Day isn’t a thing in Japan so I was at work haha. I spent the day with my 3 and 4 year olds singing songs, reading books, and playing on the playground 🙂
    Happy Fiesta Friday!

      That’s the next best thing to do on Labor Day! You know, singing and playing…right after visiting the son ? And yes, this is the son who’s now in college. I still can’t believe my little guy is in college! And he’s sounding more grown up each day! Wish I could freeze time ?

    Angie, I am pleased to know that your Labor Day was very well spent with your loved ones and that include Skye. I am also having a long break from yesterday (Friday) until Tuesday, but I am just staying at home. Do some household chores and get lazy in front of TV after. 😀 Besides, I deserve lazy days. Haha! Have a fab weekend, Angie & happy FF! x

      That sounds nice, Jhuls. I’m looking forward to those lazy days myself. My summer ended up being so busy! This weekend is no exception. Tons of things to do! And it’s only September! ?

    How clever Angie!! Then again, he must have been missing home just as much! It is still too early for him to have settled down comfortably. lovely features as always. Happy FF!!

      Oh I know for sure he misses home even if he doesn’t miss us ? He had his own bedroom, shared a bathroom with just his sister, a den where he can skype his friends in private, etc… Now that I think about it, he had it too easy, lol! I hope college life teaches him to appreciate the little things in life ?

    Haha, I’m so glad you were able to meet your son Angie! And while no excuses are required for visits, you’re quite right–no one can ever refuse grandma anything 🙂 My sister was visiting during Labour Day weekend. Even if we do absolutely nothing, as long as I spend time with her it never feels like a waste… unlike when I am trying to be productive on my own. 🙂

      And now Grandma wants to see him again one more time before she goes home, and I’m like…why not?! Might as well milk it while she’s here, lol. So I’ll probably get to see him again next weekend, yay! Isn’t spending time with family the best? It’s amazing how we never run out of things to talk about! ??
