Fiesta Friday #206


Update:
Your cohosts this week are Diann @ Of Goats and Greens and Shinta @ Caramel Tinted Life. Sorry for the confusion earlier.

Time is moving even faster in 2018. Do you feel it? It’s already almost mid-January!

The good thing is, at this rate, it’ll probably be spring next week. Then summer the following week.


I can live with that. I live for summers. That’s when I don’t have to go to work, and therefore life begins.

If only I could be so lucky as to have summer year-round, sigh…

As it is, even though time seems to fly right this moment, usually some time in May, it just stops and refuses to go anywhere… Why is that?! Please let me know if you have the answer.

I have another question needing an answer. Do dogs cry happy tears? Look at this photo here of my Skye.

crying-westie

She was overwhelmed when we came back from our California trip and was so excited when we picked her up from her sitter’s house. But it was her reaction when she realized she was back home that was priceless.

She ran around the yard several times while barking and yelping at the same time, rolled around on the grass, and sniffed all the bushes before going inside. Then she jumped into her bed. That’s when we noticed her tears. Aaw…

Now, features

Panko Fish Tacos With Sriracha Lemongrass Sauce from Joanne @ No Plate Like Home

“Crispy fish in soft tacos, with Sriracha lemongrass sauce and slaw, I am there! With a big plate and a big appetite! Simply delicious.” —Petra

Meringues Tabula Rasa from Ann @ Grubbs n Critters

“I love the Meringues Tabula Rasa, so simple, so light and so pretty! A perfect dessert to start the new year with.” —Mollie

Shrimp Moqueca from MB @ Bourbon and Brown Sugar

“Fresh, beautiful flavors; just a bit of heat tamed by coconut.” —Mollie

Spicy Vegan Gobi Kurkuri from Vanitha @ Curry and Vanilla

“I love cauliflower almost no matter how it’s cooked but this sounds amazing. Crispy, fragrant, vegan… and that coriander chutney, I wonder if there is room at Vanitha’s table for me?!” —Petra

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #206 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs, so we can feature you. Your cohosts this week are Shinta @ Caramel Tinted Life and Diann @ Of Goats and Greens

Btw, who wants to cohost next week?

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

    Skye is so very cute and I am sure these are tears of joy as dogs love having their basket/home back! I can co-host towards the end of the month if you like.

      Thanks, she really is adorable! Every time I look at her, I want to scoop her up and cuddle her? We were all very surprised to see the tears! So precious! I’m putting you down for FF208 Jan 26, is that good?

    Aw, that is too sweet. Nothing better than being gone and coming home to a pet that obviously missed you and also missed “her home”.

      It was so precious. I think she was overwhelmed that we came back for her! I think she thought we had given her up, just like her previous owner, so she was very happy to see us and her home.

        It’s such a tough lesson for them to learn isn’t it? Bob hates it every time we go out, but we always come back and there’s always great joy 🙂

      I wasn’t sure at first and there are conflicting theories out there, but I’m pretty sure there are exceptions in the animal world, just like in human’s. Skye may be one of the few dogs that can show happiness thru tears of joy. So precious!

      That’s too cold, brr… The weather is all over the place here, 60s today (no kidding!) but so dreary with the rain and clouds and tomorrow it’s going to turn drastically, only in the 20s! At least we can snuggle up with our furry babies, they’re always so warm! ?

        Would you believe my furry baby pulled the covers off my bed this morning!! He got the quilt, which woke me up and then had the blanket, ever so gently in his teeth as I opened my eyes!!! He knows how to wakeme up, I guess!

    I totally agree with you Angie on the time flies part! I cannot believe it is already going to be the second half of January! Skye looks so cute 🙂 I have always believed that dogs are the most affectionate and giving (without expecting much) beings on earth! Enjoy your pet dear 🙂 By the way, thank you so much for featuring my Cauliflower crispies this week; jumping with joy and happiness 🙂 🙂 Have a happy weekend!

    Awww….Skye is beautiful. What kind of dog and how old is she? Many dogs do have eye discharge but based on your description, I would say that was a tear from joy!

      Thanks! She’s a Westie, about 9 or 10 yrs old. We rescued her from a shelter and when we did they told us she was about 8, no birthdate. That was one and a half years ago. She still acts like a baby sometimes ? We love her to death!
