Hey, guys! Did everyone have a happy Cinco? I had a low-key celebration with just the husband and the kids. We’re ALL still supposed to be social distancing, after all. Though I’ve seen people not following the rules.
Those people include my neighbors, by the way. I like most of my neighbors and one of them is as close to me as a sister. I love her and all, but she totally frustrates me by refusing to wear a mask! She asked me to go for a walk and I was like… uhmmm… not if you don’t wear a mask. Duh! Not wearing a mask while talking and walking near another person is just plain rude and inconsiderate. That’s my humble opinion.
Anyway, back to Cinco de Mayo. My family and I made merry with a small feast of beef and pork barbacoa.
Everybody LOVED it! It may end up on a weekly rotation, it was so good!
Next up, Mother’s Day! But that’s not my responsibility. I’m the mom. That’s my day off, and I should be celebrated. Right, right?!
And now, featured links from last week’s fiesta
“This cake is a masterpiece! It is incredibly gorgeous and full of amazing flavors. A perfect cake for any celebration!” — Antonia
“Ditto, Antonia! It’s a show stopper of a cake!” — Angie
“I am definitely ringing in the summer with this mocha frappe – looks spectacular!” — Zeba
“There aren’t many things better than coffee and chocolate, and this drink is a perfect combination. I’m a huge fan of iced coffee, and having it as a dessert is even better. Delicious!” — Antonia
“Yesterday I went to the grocery store for the first time since the stay at home order started, to get yeast and bread flour, and guess what?! No yeast. No bread flour. It was basically a hopeless situation. Thank goodness this bread doesn’t need any yeast. And it looks so yummy!” — Angie
“Tofu curry?! Sold! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss tofu. I haven’t had it for so long! And having it in curry sounds so delicious.” — Angie

You, too, Miz Helen, and you’re welcome ?
No yeast oat bread sounds wonderful! I will have to try it.. These trying times are bringing out the creativity in us.. I mixed in whole wheat flour with leftover runny oatmeal to make bread. Now it is a family favorite ..:)
That’s a great idea using leftover oatmeal! Why didn’t I think of that ?
I want to try the tofu tomato curry a.s.a.p. I have been on a curry kick recently. I even made a Thai yellow curry for the first time. Last night I made a chickpea turmeric curry with asparagus. It’s unbelievable how creative and flexible curry us
Me, too, Gina. I want that tofu curry, too. Sadly I didn’t find tofu yesterday, and I don’t really want to go around looking for it. Finding things has become such a challenge!
Looks like you had a tasty Cinco! Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Roasted Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. Hope you enjoy. ?
You’re welcome, CJ. Roasted Strawberry Vinaigrette sounds awesome. And guess what, I have strawberries.
Thank you so much for featuring my chocolate orange cake!
You’re welcome!
Another GREAT party – THANK YOU for hosting and continuing to keep some normalcy for us during these trying times. I’m always finding inspiring ideas and recipes. I’m bringing some WAVE ROCKING MERMAIDS, TOMATO BEEF STROGANOFF AND HINT OF CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE. I hope you have a FANTASTIC week.
You’re welcome, Tamy! Wave Rocking Mermaids sound intriguing. I’ll be checking them out ASAP.
Thanks for another inspiring part yAngie and the feature- love and happy food- ing ❤️ ( I know that is not a word :))
It should be a word. It’s now officially adopted by Fiesta Friday. Fiesta-ing and food-ing are what we do best! ?
Happy weekend Angie, great choices this week. Let me know if you need a cohost in the next few weeks.
Thanks, Liz! I have a cohost each week for the rest of May. You can either choose to be a second cohost for any of those weeks, or host on your own the first week of June. Let me know what you’d prefer. Thanks again! And Happy Mother’s Day! ?
Angie, I can either co-host on the 22nd or 29th, or be the host on the 5th. You decide, any of those work for me.
Best…stay safe.
Sounds great! You’ll be cohosting with Diann on May 22nd and hosting on May 5th. Thanks!!
