Hey there, Fiesta Friends! It might seem to you that I'm somewhat absent from the blogosphere. What with not answering your comments and all. That's really inexcusable! I'll try my very best to do better, promise. The truth is I've been busy with the garden. Inspired by Gardener's World, I've been giving the garden a hard look, trying to figure out ways to improve it. It's looking a bit jungly at the moment. I kinda want a more wild flower-ey, meadow-ey look. My daughter teases me for having ... continue reading...

Crepes or pancakes? Pancakes or crepes? I couldn’t decide so I made both. Luckily, I only needed to make one kind of topping. Both crepes and pancakes are superb with strawberry sauce. Come Sunday, though, I may have to add blueberry sauce to the mix so we can have a proper red, white, and blue day. And I may need to up the crepes, as well, so I can make something like this. 4th of July Crepe Cake I should start a new tradition. Crepe Cake for the 4th of July!

That's an act of love right there, making tempura. What with the frying and all. Then, finish the meal with chocolate lava cake and ice cream. That's it, that's my celebratory menu! As soon as I get a week's worth of sleep, I shall make all of the above. I'm in the mood, guys. You know, to celebrate! The end ... continue reading...

For the past several years, I’ve always made Croque Madame on Father’s Day. It's for my husband, not my dad (RIP). The husband loves anything with fried eggs. The Croque Madame is my little contribution for the day. The rest is up to the big guy himself and the kids. In most years, he would want an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner. My daughter and I have a running joke about his once-a-year garbage meal. Because that's our snooty perception of what buffets are. Aren't they? No? It's just a joke, ... continue reading...
