Fiesta Friday #173

So, what are y’all doing this Memorial Day weekend?

I offered the kids a trip to New York City, and stay overnight at a nice hotel, and check out some of the posh restaurants, and maybe do some shopping…and guess what?!

They said they’d rather stay home, instead!


Hmm…

Okay…if that’s what they want, they shall get it. But I did get them to agree to at least go to Sunset Beach one afternoon. We went there on Mother’s Day and I met a new a friend.

This little guy.

I’d like to give him another visit.

Seriously, I think Sunset Beach is so underrated. I don’t know why it’s not more well-known. I always had a good time every time I went there.

It’s clean, not crowded, and you can beachcomb for diamonds.

So. Much. Fun.

Well, they’re really quartz, not real diamonds, but who cares. They’re free! There’s nothing more fun than finding free “diamonds” in the sand.

Pack yourself a picnic basket, bring your beach chair, a little bucket and shovel, and you’re guaranteed a good time.

By the way, if you’re interested, Sunset Beach is located in Cape May, New Jersey.

Oh, and if you want to stay until it gets a little dark, you’ll catch a pretty amazing sunset.

***

These caught our eye from last week’s fiesta:

Pretzel Rolls from Ginger @ Ginger and Bread

“These pretzel rolls are quite interesting both in terms of the nomenclature and the way in which it is made with the dough dipped in lye.” — Su

“Ginger always seems to make bread making very easy. The pretzel rolls are so gorgeous and for sure, they are very delicious, too.” — Jhuls

Drunken Fried Rice from Mollie @ Frugal Hausfrau

“Since I’ve been doing Whole30, I haven’t eaten much rice – this drunken fried rice got me craving really bad. I love the added sambal oelek and molasses. You know what? I love everything!!” — Jhuls

Honey Whole Wheat Dinner Scrolls from Jess @ Cooking Is My Sport

“I like the creativity with which Jess has made these dinner scrolls, not afraid to experiment. The scrolls look perfect!” — Su

Strawberry & Rose Lassi from Anjana @ Happy & Harried

“Anjana is so creative and talented. I love the way she has transformed the traditional lassi into something so exotic with the addition of seasonal strawberries and the beauty and fragrance of rose petals. The lassi is so pretty and perfect for the warm weather. It would be a great addition to any party table!” — Su

    Happy Fiesta Friday! The features look great, Angie? I don’t celebrate Memorial Day Weekend since I live in Japan, but I’ll be baking tomorrow (of course) and on Sunday I’ll be taking part in a discussion about growing up bilingual in Japan as a panelist. Honestly, I’m mainly there for the BBQ that follows the discussion lol.

      Lol! You’re too funny! But I probably would do the same thing. I’d be like…what?! You want me to be a panelist in some serious discussion? Will there be food involved? Yes? Ok, I’m in! ?

        Haha well I need some kind of motivation, right? The discussion was actually quite interesting and the BBQ was pretty great. Plus, I didn’t have to make dinner so definitely a win!

    Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie and friends! Is school out for you soon? My kids will be done this afternoon! Your beach shots make me want to stroll out to Lake Michigan, but it’s not beach weather yet. We’ll probably just stick around home too. Hopefully my husband can finish grading and fire up the grill at some point!

      Not until mid June. I’m counting the days! It’s been dreary the last few days here, too. I hope it’ll be dry this weekend since we’re also planning to fire up the grill. It’s about time, right?! ?

    I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a cute crab before, lucky guy that he didn’t go in the bucket! Those little orbs are lovely! And thank you guys for featuring my Drunken Rice! 🙂 Just use less Sambal! 🙂

    Everyone have a happy and safe weekend~

      Did you see how cleverly he was camouflaged? If he wasn’t dragging that little black pebble, I would’ve completely missed him. And that drunken rice will be served here in my house very soon! ?

      Oh then they would LOVE this beach! It’s not hard at all to find nice looking rocks there. Did I tell you they’re actually quartz? Yes, the semi precious stone. Some people make jewelry out of them. After polishing in a tumbler ?

      Me, too. I hate it when it gets too crowded. But I also thought it was freaky when we were the only people on the beach; happened twice (Outer Banks and Ke’e beach). We didn’t stay long ? Have a wonderful weekend!

    That little crabby guy is too cute! I can understand why you want to go back. Kids are funny aren’t they?! You thought you’d be doing them a favour by taking them out and instead they’d rather be home. What IS That?!! Lol

    Happy weekend, Angie!

      Just be prepared, Ann. Is all I can say ? They were much easier to predict when they were small. Once they become teenagers, they’re basically un-understandable. I meant to say not understandable ? Have a fab weekend!
