Fiesta Friday #232

It’s been hot, hot, hot! And the mosquitos, oy! My arms and legs bear the painful evidence of someone with blood type O.

Apparently, when you’re a blood type O, according to some studies, the mosquitos find you tastier. Did you know that? Me, neither! Well, now I do. That explains why I’m always getting bitten and my husband is not. So unfair!

Also, apparently, if you drink a lot of beer. So there goes my summer beer. Actually, I don’t even like beer. I’m a strictly wine and cocktails appreciator. That means I can still enjoy my mojitos!


Which reminds me, whatever happened to the mojito recipe I promised you last week? Okay, as soon as I stop being itchy, I will write it.

Btw, it’s been suggested to me that when you go around visiting or viewing and commenting on each other’s links, if there is a rating system in place, such as a recipe rating, that you should invest a few seconds of your time to use it.

I think it’s a good idea. Let’s give each other good ratings to help boost our SEO!

P.S. Who wants to cohost next week? I have a newbie cohost who would benefit from someone who can show her the ropes.

From last week’s fiesta

Healthy Chicken & Black Bean Tex Mex Soup from Meaghan @ 4 Sons ‘R’ Us

“I’m so impressed with this! I’m guilty of only having soup in cold weather but Meaghan shows us how delicious soup can be in summer too! Just look at that vibrant inviting bowl!!! Could soup be the new salad!?” — Laurena

Olive Tapenade Avocado Toast from Alex @ Turks Who Eat

“A gorgeous combination of flavors and colors! The perfect meal and so healthy. I can’t wait to try this out!” — Antonia

Strawberry Muffins with White Chocolate Drizzle from Jo @ Jo’s Kitchen Larder

“You can’t look at these and not want to eat one! Cake, fresh strawberries, and chocolate! Oh my! These are utterly perfect – I just hope mine turn out as pretty!” — Laurena

Barbecue Baked Beans from Jenny @ Dragonfly Home Recipes

“I am a sucker for good baked beans, especially this time of year. I adore the combination of beans and flavors! Just perfect for a cookout!” — Antonia

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #232 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 co-hosts this week are Laurena @ Life Diet Health and Jenny @ Apply To Face Blog.

    I hope we get to see that mojito recipe soon! Mojitos are my favorite Summer drink (well maybe tied with pina coladas) but I’ve never made one myself. Thanks so much for the feature! Good luck with the mosquitos they’re such pesky pests!

      You’re welcome. Such an easy, healthy, and yummy recipe.

      I’m actually giving up on the mosquitos, they’re too vicious! And yes, the mojitos, I hope I’ll get my motivation soon to post it. I so hate editing photos ?

    Lovely features Angie! Mosquito bites are so annoying, we are lucky here in the UK as there aren’t any really. But I am going to Canada in a few weeks time so ‘ll be packing a mosquito repellent for that trip! Have a good weekend:)

      There are no mosquitoes in UK? How lucky! Maybe I should move there. I did have a great time when I visited there. I even liked the food ? Have fun in Canada, another great place I love visiting!

    Hi Angie, thanks for the feature! It has been really hot here too, though our mosquitoes have gotten much better in the past week since everything has been so dry! Looking forward to your mojito recipe too! 🙂

    Hello? Yes, Monika is right, we don’t ‘really’ have mosquitos here… although there were a lot at the allotment a few weeks back. Have you tried citronella (or lemon) candles? – they work wonders at keeping all sort of creatures away, just put it next to you and they won’t bother you! Best I get on with my co-hosting duties (after I’ve made a vegan and gluten free birthday cake to feed 15 children)! Happy Fiesta! x

    Oh my goodness…. I had no idea either that blood type O was a risk. I get terribly bitten and yes, I’m O! How do I get it changed???!!!
    Lovely round up as always Angie. The Olive Tapenade Avocado Toast looks delicious!

      I guess there’s nothing we can do except using repellent, which I hate. Or use citronella candles, but that’s not practical if you move around. I had one of those clip on repellents last year; it’s like a little fan. Worked quite well but a little awkward. The plight of being type O ?

    Hi five Angie! Another type O person here but like UK based girls have already mentioned we do not really suffer from mosquitoes that much, midges on the other hand, can be a bit of a nuisance here. Anyway, thanks so much for the feature and to Laurena for the pick 🙂 x

    Fabulous round up. I love Jo’s muffins especially.Although not too many mosquitos I suffer from horse fly bites terribly!Apparently there is a killer invasion coming this way soon!!!Will definitely have to try Laurena’s suggestion of the candles.Either that or hibernate!….So looking forward to co hosting Fiesta Friday!I can’t wait to see what you have all been cooking….

      Horseflies are the worst! If there’s anything worse than a mosquito it’s a horsefly! Their bites actually hurt. An invasion sounds positively terrifying. Take precautions, please. Yes, definitely try Laurena’s suggestion. Thanks so much for cohosting, Jenny ??

    My blood type is B, but I get bitten by mosquitos very often than others, too. Hmmm…

    Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie. I will not be able to join this week. The additional working hours really make me exhausted. I’ve been eating roasted sweet potatoes, shakshuka & boiled eggs for two weeks now (not that I am complaining). I don’t have much time to cook & bake – ugh! The kitchen misses me so much, haha!

    Anyway, I’ll visit our FF friends!

    Take care, Angie! x

      Sweet potatoes and shakshuka sounds amazing Jhuls! One of my very fussy (plain foods only) eating friends is travelling to the Philippines on Thursday… I sent her screenshots of all your Ube photos and said just eat dessert while you’re there! ???

      I think having too much shakshuka is making you tasty, Jhuls ? Which reminds me that I haven’t made shashuka and it’s in my long list of recipes to try. But then I’ll be even tastier to the mosquitoes ? Don’t work too hard, Jhuls.

    Blood type O makes one more tasty to mosquitos? Hmm, interesting. I’m type AB and they only like me if no one else is around. I thought it was because I eat garlic, or maybe because one very susceptible friend is diabetic and her blood is “sweet”.

    Some yummy recipes featured this week… and some good ones to check out!

      I’m not sure how sound the studies were, and CDC doesn’t back up the findings but I have my personal experiences to offer as evidence. When we visited Chincoteague the mosquitoes swarmed around my body, and not my husband’s who was just feet away from me! Who knows?! I don’t think they know for sure why some are more susceptible. If garlic is the answer, I’m willing to give it a try.

    Hm, my husband is type O and he never gets mosquito bites. I, on the other hand, can’t hide from them no matter what (AB). Hate them and this heat, LOL
