No matter where you are in the world, except perhaps Antarctica, you’re no doubt experiencing the effects of The Virus. In just a matter of days, life as we know it has changed drastically, and in some cases gone altogether.
That may sound like a dramatic exaggeration, but consider having to go thru a one-hour line just to pay for your groceries. Or not being able to get everyday supplies once taken for granted (toilet paper of all things!). Or having to find an alternative gas station to fill up your tank because the one you regularly patronize closes unexpectedly. Or having to telework. With your school children nearby.
All of those scenarios are far removed from the semblance of normal everyday life, yet they’re happening all over. Heck, they’re happening to me and my family. Most likely to you and yours, too.
It’s very hard to get excited over anything, but it’s my job to bring you the fiesta. It’s the only normal thing happening in my life right now. So, I’m not about to take it away from myself! We fiesta, like always. Consider volunteering to become cohosts, too. It may relieve some of the stress associated with the news about The Virus. Even if just momentarily.
I also highly recommend that you reach out to one another, or just vent out your frustration. Online. Thank goodness for virtual friends!
Now, feast your eyes on these:

Thanks so much for hosting! I’m linking up today with HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY – CLOVER ALTERED ART, THIRST QUENCHING AWESOMENESS (BOTTLE 65 WORDS PROMPT), and THE COLD POOL (SOMNAMBULIST 78 WORDS PROMPT). I have 3 link parties going on right now, I invite you to come and link up with me.
Thanks, Dee. I’ll be checking them out ASAP.
Happy Friday Angie, and happy first day of spring. Are you teaching from home or are your schools still in session? It’s been a struggle for teachers here as many of our kids are disadvantaged and don’t have access to the internet.
This would be a good reason to re-enact the rural internet act.
I am glad to have the virtual party to stay in touch. I can cohost anytime since all the events in my life have been cancelled. Time to get back into the kitchen and garden.
Thanks for cohosting, Liz ? If you don’t mind, I’d like to have you cohosting again next week, and you’ll be getting help from Mollie. She’ll be your cohost.
All the schools in the area, if not the entire state, have moved to remote learning. We’ve been doing it since Tues. Luckily, except for a few glitches early on, we haven’t encountered substantial problems. My heart breaks for those students coming from disadvantaged families; they suffer the most in a situation like this.
So great we can still gather online! Those prawn stuffed avocados look scrumptious. Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Garlic Shrimp Pasta with Tomatoes and Greens. Hope you enjoy. 🙂 Stay safe and healthy.
I know, right?! Thank goodness for virtual parties and friends. Mmm…garlic shrimp pasta sounds sooo…good!!
Thank you for another GREAT party full of inspiring ideas and recipes. I love this week’s features. I brought my Apricot Cherry Galette, Chicken Fricasse and Fiesta Chicken Lasagna. Have a GREAT week.
Thanks, Tamy! I used to make chicken fricasse all the time, kinda forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, such a delicious dish! And Fiesta Chicken Lasagna sounds intriguing.
Hi, Angie. I hope you and your family are doing great. You are right, FF is one of things normal these days. Thank you for hosting! I will be available to co-host on April 3.? Stay safe, Angie!
Hey Jhuls, how is it going where you are? Hopefully you guys are not as badly affected. Things are surreal around here, just can’t believe how much life has changed. Thank goodness for Fiesta Friday! Thanks for offering to cohost; I’ll mark it on my calendar. I may have a cohost for you, I’ll let you know.
Oh yeah! Thanks for featuring our scones! Just the pick-me-up needed after this week! Hang in there!
I was drooling, literally, looking at those scones! Trying very hard not to freak out over here. I’ll just take a look at the scones some more. That’s the antidote!
thanks for hosting a great party. I don’t get to come as often anymore but love it when I make it!! Have a good week and stay well!
Thanks for coming to the party, Helen. I love your recipes!
