Does Anyone Know What I’m Posting For #foodfightfriday?

in #fff6 years ago (edited)

Each week I’m uncertain how to put together the opening sentence of my Friday post. Just now I was thinking ‘I wonder what I’m going to say this time?’ 🤔 So I let the thought simmer a little longer and continued to stir around my base words. I lowered the heat, put a lid on it, took the lid back off, cranked the heat up, added water, nothing changed. So I went with the opening sentence you just read - Let’s see what happens next!

Bravo! Kudos! Congratulations! Well frikkin done chefs, all of you! Happy Friday. How cool is Steemit, though, really? Around this time last year I began paying extra attention to the foods/drinks I consume I just didn’t know I had a platform where I could talk about it with an audience I didn’t know I had. I look around here now and see people from around the world adding value to their wallets by showing off their culinary skills - Way to promote the blockchain chefs!

I’m paying attention to the progression, too, with each week comes added professionalism. And have you noticed how many cooking hashtags are around now? We grab lunch at #fff on Friday’s. My wife follows several; #fruitsandveggiesmonday and #lenasveganliving are two that I’m aware of plus she recently started #justbecause Wednesday’s. I appreciate the way each of you are taking more and more progress pictures, too, and the plating, dang!! Garnish creativity levels are on the rise and the listing of ingredients is spot on, the instructions, all of the above - Well done! Does anyone know what I’m posting for #foodfightfriday yet? Check that out - Did you catch it? I think we just found ourselves a title. I need to shoot over to Pixabay real quick and grab an image - I’ll be right back...

That took a little longer than I expected, sorry to keep us waiting. I thought I could just shoot over there real quick and grab an image but I couldn’t decide between that one and this one:

Also a Pixabay image

So I’m showing off my problem solving skills right now by using them both - That’s it! I got it! I know what I’ll do for food fight now - Show off you know who! (again) That only took, what, 3-4 paragraphs? I’ll try to be more prepared next week.

By now most of you have probably seen @puravidaville showing off her cooking skills. I’m the luckie.. you know the rest! So this week I’ll show off where her top shelf meals begin. I snapped some photos with the GoPro during one of our recent trips to the Farmer’s Market. I didn’t realize the quality that little thing delivers. You don’t have to worry about being positioned steady or in focus or anything either, ‘it just knows.’ I need to familiarize myself with it because in a short time our next journey begins. We’re going to need that camera to document our travels so we can share them with you. We got the regular case and a waterproof one, too, an extra battery, all of the charger cord adapters and holding stick extending things for it, we just don’t know how to use the camera part yet! So here’s my first attempt at capturing the moment with a GoPro Hero 5 Black - A day at the Neighborhood Farmers Market:
(that would’ve been a good title too!)

We got there a little early this time - Vendors were still in the process of setting up. It goes all the way down around the corner to the left a little farther and stops a couple blocks shy of the Pacific Ocean. It’s where @puravidaville tells me what to grab, how much to grab, how to separate it from the other produce, why she wants it, where it came from, the shelf life on it, who to pay, where the next vendor is, whether or not the bag needs air, how to pack it in my backpack, how to hold my backpack while packing it in my backpack and the safest way to transport the backpack back to the place we stay at. I’m doing that thing where I type, type, type, type, yata yata, bla-bla-bla-bla-bla again hu? Ok, I’ll try harder this time - “No whammies, no whammies..... STOP!!!”

Showing off the GoPro - Check that thing out! I never looked through the screen while taking any of these pictures, I just pointed toward the displays and pushed the red button. The labels are actually legible. Same with the nuts up a few, wait, I mean the nuts a few images up.

A big shout out to @jlsplatts for showing off his platform hosting skills - Thank you sir! He showed off this wiring job recently and I couldn’t get passed the cover image - Look at those knuckles. It looks like that cute little 120-volt, alternating current, 20-amp, weather resistant, indoor/outdoor, 12/2 romex really left an impression on him! 👍🏿

Haha… that last GIF is perfect! Who doesn’t love Ray Liota laughing his butt off in ‘Goodfellas’. That GoPro takes great pictures too-super vibrant! Great #foodfightfriday post babe. I always look forward to what you come up with :).

Thank you chef! When you can’t cook like one you do the next best thing - Showcase one.

iheartu all the time @puravidaville.

You have to say that or you’d starve… 🤡. Thank you for eating all of my bloopers with a big fat smile too.

GOPRO + FARMER MARKET = ULTIMATE HIPSTER
but then
WRITIN + HIPHOP BATTLE = ULTIMATE GANGSTER !!!

So this market looks amazing, we were arguing with my wife is it was a bit pricey or not, we can see on one of the pic that it says "Pic 3 items" for $5 so I can get whatever I want?
It means 3 carrots for 5 dols? 3 peppers?

I need to knoooooooooooooooooooow!

The three for $5’s you’re seeing I believe reference all of the baskets; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. are all fresh picked that day and then you can mix and match them and walk away with 3 different baskets for $5 total.

As far as the rest of the produce, it’s similar to a market, they have scales at their iPad or phone or whatever they’re using to transact. We go there weekly because the pricing is affordable, we trust the products and the people are really nice, you kinda develop a repor with them. It isn’t abnormal to leave a booth with...
2 tomatoes.
An onion.
3 limes.
3 apples.
Brussels sprouts.
A bushel of broccoli.

Total: $6.80 and everything is always fresh. Talk about organize dude!! A thin of strawberries is only going to last a couple days, same goes for most of it. It’s frikin organic dude!

Thanks for stopping by @edprivat, it’s always a pleasure hearing from the busiest man I know.

Ps. Pura Vida’s gonna be Behind the bar all day, your opening line was sofa king dope, I’ll have plenty of time today to ready it as much as I want! Lol.

Jeez this can be affordable if it's 3 baskets!!!
And I dunno if it's the gopro, but they look huge, those beetroots and radishes look incredible !

"it’s always a pleasure hearing from the busiest man I know." LoL soon enough we gonna slow down :)

PS it took me an hour to realize the word play on sofa king dope

You’re quicker than most!

Hey I’m glad you responded because I forgot to tell you that was the dopest opening to read first thing this am about the hipster... gangster... that was sofa king dope! <- you got it that time though!

Yes, absolutely affordable! Surprisingly affordable. And bro amazing quality. SO SO SO organic, this produce doesn’t last but 3-5 days max! Whereas the supermarket you know,, it’ll stay in the fridge for a week or two. <— Mornal.

So you're a Higster?

But where does all that delicious food comes from , homesteaders around the area or bigger shops?
I am sure there's no preservative hence why they must be consumed quickly!

Oh ya man, everything is local. Before I forget.. yes, the GoPro is amazing, it actually takes better pictures than anything I’ve ever seen but those radishes, carrots, etc aren’t magnified, lol, it’s not ‘that’ good. I trip out on how big that stuff is, too, a softball-size onion is small?!? Where have I been?

All of the produce, honey, nuts, etc at the farmers market is locally grown. Hence you can’t get tomatoes (for example) there year round like a super market. Us westerners have a horrible false reality that produce is just supposed to be available year round.

So we talk to all of the growers and get to know them, there’s people there selling bread, dairy free desserts, etc. The farthest farm from any of the vendors I’m going to guess is an hour and a half’s drive away.

For example, this image here where you saw the 3-$5:

The label in their honey says Fallbrook, California. It’s not even a 30 minute drive from where we are in LA. I think the farthest one I’ve been made aware of is an almond Garner in Temecula, California. That’s about a 2 hour drive from where the images were taken in LA County.

“No whammies..... No whammies.....”

That was from a bar knuckles boxing match earlier in the week.
Or maybe just working on some other random project at the house. I know it wasn’t from that 12-2 that is for sure. 😜😜
Most likely from some sort of Man Type Stuff I was doin

Lol at the bar knuckles! Ha. Thanks for being a good sport dude, I know you know better than to bring a feeling to the food fight.

Sorry for the cheap Upvote!! That was an accident... go ahead, come on by here again and say something, go ahead! I’ll show you it was an accident!

Thanks for stopping by @jlsplatts!

I actually just remembered what it was from. Installing a temp service and digging out the trench for the wire, I was praying on the shovel and it slipped and my knuckles slid down the stake that was holding the support brace for temp meter base. I put my gloves on after that. Lol
Feelings?? What are those? 😜😜😜

LAUGH OUT LOUD! Man! You really need to enter a @comedyopenmic! How many times I gotta invite you? Do you know how funny that reads? ....dandays bla bla fingers bla bla... I told him a bar fight (now you can do what you do and just go all elaborate at the bar.. bikers, Mormons, the whole 9) but then “truth is:” my hands slipped on the shovel I was trying to hold myself up with as I dozed off on the clock. <— that can be told really funny.

Feelings, right, I don’t know! I guess some people have more than one, how weird is that?! I like just having one feeling, that way I can just leave it in the sock drawer and pull it out whenever I need it. I got a double win actually, it’s that short term mem.... what was I talking about??

Oh ya!! Short term memory. I’m blessed with best one around. All I do is I leave that feeling in the sock drawer every day like “oops! I forgot it at the house again.. go ahead, call me names, cut me off on the road, hang up the phone on me, refuse my no shirt/no shoes service...” Can’t hurt my feeling, it’s at the house, tucked away in the sock drawer.

Photos are good! 👍

I believe it is a "specific" farmer's market with higher prices for "organic" foods.

I’m fairly certain all of the Farmers Markets around here are as organic as you can possibly get. The produce doesn’t last longer than a few days, like it’s supposed to, other than super market produce. The pricing isn’t bad, either, in my opinion. It’s acfually less expensive than the super market.

Thanks a lot for stopping by @scorer, I appreciate it! Happy Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by @cleopatra54

@cleopatra54, I just realized I never Upvoted this comment. That was an accident!

Super cool! This is my next thing to start checking out. Theres a few markets around here and weve been to none :( yet. Im basically living in a farm community and super excited to see whats around. And hopefully no gmo pesticide garbage! Unbelievable what has been allowed imo. Your post always make me want to do something lol. 😎👍✌

That’s real cool to hear my friend, in the spirit of such a kind compliment I tell ya what.. I’ll try to keep em consistently on the shelf and fresh, how’s that??

We’ve familiarized ourselves with local farmers markets wherever we live, once you make that a routine, you’ll refrain from purchasing ‘market’ items from the ‘super market.’ In my opinion, if they sell stuff like cat food, bleach, toilet paper, pharmaceuticals, stuff like that.. you might wanna rethink their produce that last ups to 3 weeks in the fridge because the non sprayed, non pesticide infested produce ya’all will get at the Farmers market only lasts 3 days. Literally, 3 days.

Thanks for stopping by @weirdheadaches!
