Fiesta Friday #654

Whenever I visit the UK, my first stop is always the Marks & Spencer Food Hall.

And guess what I usually get? This salad.


Along with the 3-for-£8 of what they call Picky Bits.

And more often than not, I also grab a cheese scone from the bakery.

Occasionally I indulge in a mini Bakewell tart or an Eccles cake.

On a recent visit, I also decided to buy this version of Jaffa cakes.

And my verdict is… It’s better than the original! That’s my personal preference, anyway.

The Supergreen salad, though, is a must-have. Why is it so good?! It can’t be that difficult to copycat, can it? Does anyone have a recipe? Please share if you do.

Now, shifting to a different topic, did anyone see the solar eclipse on Wednesday? And did you take any pictures? Because when I did, this is what I captured.

These photos were taken in Southwest England, where the partial eclipse was supposed to be over 90%. Can someone explain why my photos turned out like this? Was the eclipse captured as a reflection next to or slightly above the actual sun?

Is there an explanation for this?

Okay, now let’s look at these. Dont’ They Look Yummy?!

Southwestern Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

Mexican Caramel Crepes

Lentils and Quinoa Buns

Apple Fritter Casserole

    Hi, Angie; the bright spot next to the image of the eclipse is probably a reflection from the lenses or other parts in your camera, not a real object. Thank you for hosting another great Fiesta Friday, and for featuring my Mexican Caramel Crepes! This week I am sharing #21 Chilorio. Have a wonderful week!

      Yeah, I think you’re right. At first I thought it was the moon but that didn’t seem right. It was just weird. Your caramel crepes sound delectable 😋

      I love pork tenderloins and your version sounds amazing! You’re so right about Marks & Spencer; wish there was one in the US.
