Fiesta Friday #177

Let it be known that I’m obsessed with the garden. I’m obsessed with this flower.

I can’t get over how pretty it is!

Double Tiger Lily

Skye, meanwhile, is obsessed with the rabbit. She can’t let the rabbit out of her mind.

So, we go out there every single morning, Skye and I. While I obsess over the plants, rearrange and water them, she looks for the rabbit. The little rabbit that thinks its home is under our deck.

The little rabbit that the daughter thinks she can befriend and tame and eventually, convert into a pet. She’s even already named it. Hopert. She claimed it’s a gender-neutral name.

Hopert, the rabbit

Thankfully, Skye is not a particularly great hunter. She merely chases Hopert here and there and eventually it evades her.

Which is a good thing! We’re not exactly hungry for rabbit stew!

And now, features!

Saag Murgh – Chicken Cooked with Spinach from Shinta @ Caramel Tinted Life

“This is a beautiful family dish, full of delicious spices – the chicken is not only marinated but also cooked in a rich spinach gravy, so this dish is simply bursting with flavour!” — Monika

“This is such a good way for me to enjoy spinach and chicken – two of my favorites. The dish sounds so good with all the lovely ingredients.” — Jhuls

Hibiscus Spice Mix from Zeba @ Food for the Soul

“It is very admirable that Zeba made her own hibiscus spice mix. This must have been very fragrant while she was roasting the spices. Such a good idea!” — Jhuls

Herbs and Nuts Pesto from Elaine @ Foodbod

“This recipe idea proves that pesto is super versatile, can be served with foods other than pasta and doesn’t even have to contain basil!” Monika

German Potato Salad from Mollie @ Frugal Hausfrau

“I love that this potato salad has no mayonnaise. It’s not like I don’t like mayonnaise, but I love the addition of beef broth. One of the best potato salad recipes I have seen.” — Jhuls

      Fortunately I already have the hibiscus in my pantry, still unopened. Waiting all this time for Zeba’s recipe. Getting ready to pick some herbs now to make pesto. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Actually it’s kinda stressful. I’m always in fear that one day she’ll succeed and catch Hopert! I wish Hopert would just move away… My vegetable garden doesn’t exactly appreciate Hopert. But the daughter forbids me to do anything that would harm her/him. Can’t tell if it’s a boy or girl.

      When it first came, it was so small and scrawny. I let it pretty much go thru my veggie plot like it’s a salad buffet ? Now it doesn’t look so scrawny, does it?! Oh well, whatever makes the daughter happy, sigh… Thanks for participating! ?

    Hi Angie! Hope you are doing well. I have a rabbit friend too! Every morning out in the front yard, He/She waits for me to throw out carrots. I thought it was a boy and named it Bennie, but now I think it may be a girl so I changed it to Beni…lol! You can watch a video on my Instagram Story. Happy FF! 😀

      Maybe we should get a cat, but it’ll have to be an outdoor cat since the son is allergic. Plus Skye will freak out! She’s such a scaredy-cat, even though she’s a dog ?

      Ideally, our outdoor pet should be a cat, since both kids actually love cats, but the son is allergic ? The daughter is trying to fashion some kind of a cage to catch Hopert, omg!! ?

    Thanks for the feature! I’m always a bit humbled when I get featured because there are always so many great posts and bloggers who join in Fiesta Friday! Oh I love bunnies but they can be so destructive once they colonize.

    My neighbor feeds the wild bunnies, but obviously not enough as they ate the bottom four to five feet of my row of trees when the snow started building up, they continually decimate my daisies and lillies. The trees ran about 500 bucks so I was not happy at all and don’t dare replace them so there goes all my privacy in the back yard. Ugh.

    Rabbit stew continues to sound more appealing by the season!!

      June 25, 2017 at 5:58 pm

      Are you sure it’s the bunnies and not deer? Or even groundhogs. I find them way more destructive. One groundhog mowed my entire 4×8 veggie bed one year, overnight! Bunnies nibble here and there but they usually don’t destroy, though I did have a family once and they took out my peas. I guess I don’t know what I’m talking about, lol. Sorry to hear, Mollie. Maybe we can have rabbit stew after all. It’s pretty tasty, haha ?

        No, I’ve sat at my computer and seen them right out the window, not to mention the poo and tracks. We had a groundhog in the folks garden not too long ago – I didn’t realize they were that destructive- I put him on fb for our neighbor to see and he came over and told me the stories about how they had them at their farm! I hope he doesn’t come back. Oh boy. I was so excited to see him, now I’m worried!

        I took a course at the U of M a couple years about about Global Food…one of our papers was to write about a low impact protein source…I titled mine, “How can Thumper save the World.” But in real life I don’t know if I could eat a poor bunny let along ever kill one! Or kill anything!

            Thanks for the clarification, lol! Yah, groundhogs are a nightmare! I mean they look cute and all but they destroy your plants. Plus they dig huge amount of dirt to create their burrows. I’m still trying to level the mountains behind my hydrangeas from a couple of years ago, it’s insane! ? Btw, Mollie, when can you cohost?

        Somehow they are always cuter when they are not in your own garden! We had a fox mum with 6 cubs one year, they loved to roll on top of all the vegetables and in the end the cuteness didn’t help! 🙂
