You may notice that the link up looks a little different this week. Well, unfortunately, we need to get used to it, you and I.
InLinkz (that’s the link up service Fiesta Friday is signed up with) debuted the new look several months ago, but I have resisted switching to the new version up until now. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, am I right?
Alas, now I’m required to switch whether I want to or not. Starting in April, InLinkz won’t let you use the old version anymore.
So, we’re forced to get used to this new version. But I think you won’t find it too, too annoying. I’m pretty sure most other link parties out there have already switched, so you may already be familiar with it.
If you have any questions, however, I’m here. Ask me anything, and I’ll try to get you the right answer. Okie dokie?
Now, let’s fiesta!
First, take a look at these:
“Skip the Easter eggs this year! I want the Easter Bunny to bring me a huge basket of these Carrot Cake Truffle Balls! I may even share them with my friends… maybe!” — Julianna
“Introducing Teres Major… my new obsession… Don’t you love it when you learn something new? Like this Shoulder Tender aka Teres Major, for instance. How many of you have heard of this cut before? Touted as tender as the filet mignon, but costs half the price. Say what?! Let’s demand that this cut be made available more often, everywhere. We have rights as consumers!” — Angie
“This is a must-try recipe, you guys. Is there anything better than Peanut Sauce? Surely not. And when you pair it with Pork Sliders flavored with orange and ginger, there isn’t anything in the whole world that can rival it.” — Angie
“Omg, these are beyond! You know what I mean… beyond adorable! I will definitely be copying this idea for my Easter brunch.” — Angie

Oh! That confused me… and I had to log in with a different email address and there was no photo showing! I’m sure I’ll be used to it in a few weeks time! 😀 I’m trying to confuse you all today with Mothers Day and Clocks going forward! 😛
Oh my those cheese balls are so cute, and carrot cake balls too… I wonder if I can persuade the boys that Mothers Day deserves such things! 😀 Have a fantastic weekend and you know I’m available to co-host when you need me! xxx
Angie says
I was confused as well when I first tried it, but I’m sure we’ll get used to it, eventually ? Sorry, can’t be helped. I tried holding off as long as I could. I’m going to show those cheese balls to my kids as well. Hopefully they’ll take the hint ?

I like the old system better. BTW how do you adjust what part of the image will show up in the thumbnail? It was fine this time at default, but I know a few recipes already made for the future won’t be. Don’t fix it if it isn’t broke is right!
Angie says
Me, too! That’s why I kept postponing to switch. So, after you select a photo for the thumbnail, there’s a tiny little prompt on the top right hand corner of the selected photo that says “crop”. Click on that and you should be able to adjust what part will show. Give it a try. It’s ok to link an older post you may have linked before. You have my permission ?

Hey Angie,
Happy Fiesta Friday to you! Well I have nothing to post this week, but I don’t like it when they change our technology when it’s not necessary!
Thanks so much for featuring my sliders – you know that I really appreciate it!
Have a wonderful week.
Angie says
I’m all over those sliders, Julianna. Fish Friday for us today, but maybe Saturday or Sunday it’ll be pork sliders!! Have a great weekend, I hope it’ll be warm for you guys.
Kate - Gluten Free Alchemist says
That Sheep Ball is so cute! x
Angie says
It’s very creative, isn’t it?
Petra says
hi Angie
What features! Wow! It is making me hungry!
Changes, well it looks good and I guess we just have to get used to it!
Happy weekend!
Angie says
I know, right? I think I want to make all of them! Changes can be good, I suppose, especially if it also means it’s safer. Busy weekend slated for me, but it’ll be warm at least ?
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
Hi, Angie. Yes, it’s a little annoying, but we’ll get used to it. The cheese balls are too adorable! Thanks for having us all together. Happy Fiesta Friday!?
PS: I may be a little late for FF#270.
Angie says
I think eventually we’ll all get used and come to appreciate the new InLinkz. Hopefully sooner than later. It’s totally ok with me if you’re a little late next week ?
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
I had to visit a very close and good friend of mine who lost a loved one. Thanks for understanding, Angie. Love yah!
Rita says
The new InLinkz has come, yaaay! Pay it forward.
Hope you guys like my entry this week of “Devilled Eggs” – an after easter egg leftover idea.
Angie says
??
Rita says
Don’t like the new one. My entry is #25 which needs one more click to go to 🙁
Angie says
Sorry, that was the default setting, but I’ve changed it so your link is on the first page.
Elaine_foodbod says
Yay! I haven’t been able to visit for so long! It’s so lovely to see everyone here doing what they do x x x nice to see you all ???
Angie says
Oh hi stranger! ? Great to see you at the fiesta. Guess what?! I’m reviving Twinkle, and apparently even after 2 years of inactivity, it’s still alive!
Rebecca says
Firstly, yum, yum and double yum! All the posts you’ve chosen to add in this weeks round up are soooo delicious looking. My son just said he wants me to roast my meat like that too!
Secondly, I agree, if it isn’t broken don’t try to fix it. I guess we’ll have to get used to it…and then they’ll change it again hahaha.
Angie says
Isn’t that always the case, when you finally get used to something, a new one will come up. That’s why I don’t usually follow trends. Although if you live long enough, eventually the old one will come around again. Maybe ?
frugal hausfrau says
Oh my gosh, I’m loving all those features from last week! Adorable sheep!! And I’m looking at that roast and drooling…and anything carrot cake =yum! And just look at those sliders….
I’m so happy to be hosting with Ai! I have spring fever and am expecting great things! I shouldn’t host when I’m hungry, everything looks too good!!
Mollie
Angie says
I feel exactly the same way about this week’s features. I need to make them all! Might be a problem getting that teres major, though. I don’t think my grocery store sells that. But I’ll keep looking! Thanks for cohosting, Mollie. You’re so nice ?
