Summer is officially here and the deck/patio is officially open.
Alfresco dining is starting to be the norm around here. Somehow food tastes much better eaten outdoors, even if it’s just simple sandwiches and salad.
And ever since the husband put up the outdoor string lights we tend to linger outside a little longer.
We might as well enjoy this nice weather while it lasts. We all know how fickle Mother Nature can be. I hope wherever you are, you’re all enjoying good weather. Happy Fiesta Friday, everyone!

Gorgeous deck… Perfect for summer and very inviting. Super-envious xxx
Angie says
Aaw… thanks. Summer has just started but I’m looking ahead already. I think a fire pit is needed next to the patio. Then a little bit more landscaping, then I can finally relax and truly enjoy the backyard ?

Thanks, Jennifer! The deck is not particularly new, actually, but we did spruce it up to make it more comfy.

Dropping by from #ChasingMYLife to bring you my SHRIMP PAD THAI, TOMATO SCALLOPED POTATOES and P3 PISTACHIO PLUM PLATZ. Thank you for hosting another GREAT party. I’m looking forward to visiting links over the next few days. I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week.
Angie says
Thanks for the wonderful recipes, Tamy! Have a fabulous week! XO
Liz says
Thanks for hosting again – it’s so inspiring to read so many food blogs and recipes again. But I am a little surprised about a number of linked blog posts containing no recipe at all…. Fiesta Friday is – as I understand it – not a forum for click baiting articles non related to food and recipes…. and it’s really disappointing to click at several of the links and to find no recipe at all there. To all Foodies and their recipes here, whose posts I enjoyed to read: have a nice and wonderful week!
Angie says
So, when I started Fiesta Friday, I didn’t specify exactly what can be or can’t be linked. The idea was to offer inspiration, that’s it. Inspiration for the celebration of the good life. Over time it’s evolved to be sort of foodie in nature, but there has always been a little of this and that mixed in. I hope this will not discourage you to come visit again in the future.
