Mixing Business With PleasuresteemCreated with Sketch.

in #fff5 years ago (edited)

You’re probably expecting a typical contender from me tonight, right? The kind I always do, you know what I mean. The kind where I add a few progress pictures, list about a dozen measured ingredients specific to your region, attach an edited d.tube clip verifying my kitchen wizardry and follow it all up with my world famous signature gif that makes your touchscreen smell like coconut oil—sorry, more of that next week never! Tonights @foodfightfriday contender is business in the front and pleasure in the back.

41 weeks on the #blockchain and nearly 20 contestants every week, I’ve seen more cover images worthy of a magazine photo shoot than I can count. So, I have an idea, 🤔 ready? Tonight’s contender is all about the cover image—I got a one-two to the kisser that goes by Business first and Pleasure second. Ladies and gentlemen, boys n girls, you know what day it is! Meet tonight’s contender—”wooh!”

All Business!!!

I thought the actual business model was a bit much for tonight’s cover image so I used the toned down version you just saw—fluff. This is what I mean my business—business cards:

Aahhh, yeah! You know you want one from the first batch—the test drive edition!! Go ahead, take as many screen shots as you want, I won’t even mind if you send duplicates to everyone you know.

Ingredients:

That reminds me! If you didn’t click on that ‘All Business’ link back there, you missed a #funny—you’ll miss another one if you don’t click on ‘Ingredients’ above this sub, italicized, paragraph (and the one below it too).

Ingredients:

  • @puravidaville made hummus.
  • All natural Pita chips.
  • English fries (Because Pura Vida isn’t French)
  • Cold cucumber, onion, apple and purple cabbage salad.
  • Hot broccoli, onion and fried carrot salad.
  • iPhone 8+ for imagery.
  • Photoshop Express for business font.

    Now for the pleasure part—the #writing on the wall or, in this case, on the window I missed—twice! Next door to the market I’ve been to three times now and failed to notice until today is this #cryptocurrency joint:

The door was locked—this door:

How cool is that?! Down here in Costa Rica I found this business in a strip mall, next to a grocery market and, judging from the pick-axes on the window, my guess was maybe a mining operation? 🤔 The door was locked. I looked in the windows as best I could and didn’t see any rigs set up, just a few desks, it’s not a mining operation. So, I did what we all do, I asked DuckDuckGo.

Fuzion Capital is a FinTech company registered in Costa Rica as #blockchain based business solutions. I have an addition to that, before we made the move here at the beginning of January, I searched for Bitcoin ATM’s and there wasn’t any. The nearest one was in Panama City. I made a mental note. I just checked again yesterday and was happy to learn there’s two here now—more pleasure. They’re quite a drive for us but it’s good to know #crypto and FinTech are in Central and South America.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Bitcoin (BTC) = $6,440 USD — 1FpbsPtfsN1oEjQA6EP3sXmSPTEc3TMVwP
  • 1 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) = $289 USD — qquy8mganuejdqtes0532jsxhgnm35zlyc5y5wqt8d
  • 1 Litecoin (LTC) = $77 USD — LWngv5p86jbaMKADGBhrJroDwEb9MT2uY2

Hello @dandays, how are you ?Combining business with pleasure is certainly very pleasant. Besides we benefit we can also get unforgettable pleasure. I like the photos of your cuisine. Hmm.
yummy ... everything looks really delicious. Have a nice day , my friend.

I’m doing great, thanks! How are you ? It’s the weekend now, happy Saturday, do you have any plans? I’m glad you liked the food picture, I couldn’t have done it without apple and photoshop. 😉

Thanks for stopping by, @elianaelisma.

Uhmmm... I'm out when everything about food also about photography and arts (better be an eater than the chef😊) but... since this is a foodfightfriday, everything is hot,spicy,tasty,savoury,sweet and delicious😊 .. yaayy! I though that door is something like a chocolate cake..(when you're fasting... everything looks like foods for you😂😂😂). I wonder how's the Cryptocurrency ATM looks like...😊

Good morning sweetest chef on the whole entire blockchain. You’re Sweetest Chef, that’s one, Just Trying is two and Cicisaja, not bad, three different names and we’ve never even met—nice!

Check you out, still making your rounds to food fight Friday even though you’re fasting—you’re doing great, chef! (Chef, that’s another one—four names) Thank you for all of your support.

Thanks for stopping by, @cicisaja.

😂😂😂 don't worry about my name.. I have few other names too.. but keep it short and simple.. Cici😉 I'll post something for this week.. but as usual😉 it's just for fun.

I just looooooooooooooooooooooooove hummus. MMMMMMMM. I should make some today :D

Haha @ Rick Flair. XD Jet flying :p

Also, I am wondering what the food taste like with that magic sprinkly stuff from Snoop and Martha. LOL

When I found out there were bitcoin ATM's I was surprised at how much I didn't know about what is going on. I mean to have an ATM just for that is awesome. I am very far from any of those ATM's but how awesome would it be to have some just for Steem!

Where are you again, @foxyspirit? Sorry, all I remember is it’s cold there. Did you already search your nearest bitcoin atm?

You know snoop and Martha’s was the best.

Love hummus, is that riiiggght? “Surprise!” PuraVida is releasing our first attempt at food video in a little bit—hummus. 👍🏿 I’ll make sure you get a copy. 😉

Thanks for stopping by @foxyspirit. You’ve been supporting what I’m doing around here since day 1—thank you!

I'm in northern Ontario. Cold is right :p All the bit atm's are a days travel away from me. It's sad.

I just went on her post and it looks soooooo yummy! That's todays plan. Yesterday I got so busy and most of what I wanted to do never got done. Oh well, today is always a good day ^_^

I am happy to stop by and have a peak ^_^ What I am not happy with is not doing it often enough. But I do what I can. I have to accept that.

Edit: I wanted to send some cake, but I am too late. :( Sorry. Will do it on your next one ;)

Has anyone told you how cool you are this morning? And not just because of Ontario.

Hehehe, nope, you are the first ;)

You're thoughts might change with the comment I just posted on your Lion, raccoon story :/

Oh yes! I’m glad you got to read that one, awesome! I’m going there now.

Woah...that food shot looks like something out of a Southern Living Magazine! Nice @dandays. Can't wait to see your video, it'll be amazing I'm sure. Your playing catch with the birds dtube was pretty neat...you guys are on to something cool.

Ah yeeah, the real chef likes it! 😉 Thank you, I gotta keep thinking of ‘something’ to hang with ya’all in the kitchen—gal about some talent!

Ooh, I just recorded a sunset yesterday, how they do on tv and set the camera to snap pictures every 30/60 seconds. I figured out how to do that with the camera yesterday, now I’ll bring it to iMovie and figure out how to time lapse images so ya’all can watch a sunset with us. 😉 “baby steps.”

Thanks for stopping by, @birdsinparadise.

the logo of the door looks like @midun designs hehe

I just clicked on their name—I agree! Happy Sunday, COS!

Thanks for stopping by, @cityofstars, I really appreciate your support.

my pleasure my friend :)

Mixing business and pleasure and you didn't even have to wear a tie.
Funny links.
Hell, if they have a couple of BTC ATMs in Costa Rico, there has to be a couple in my area.
Looks like a great meal, and as always very healthy.

Well, hello, Sweed! Happy Sunday to everyone at the ranch, God bless you, sir.

I asked Pura about the links, I said “when I attach a large link under a picture, do you click on it?” She said no because she knows they’re for my image rights. That’s what I assumed so I wanted to make sure ya’all click on them this time—it’s a good thing I did.

There’s so many ATM’s in New York, just look at all of them on the front page of this search engine. That should get you what you need. 👍🏿

In California, they’re spaced out about every 20 miles—piece o cake! Well, here, not so much. I knew I wouldn’t be able to access my purchase or sell functions on any of my wallets down here so I scoped out the nearest ATM—Panama! Danget!! Well, not anymore... 😉 that’s called ‘mass adoption,’ Sweed.

Thanks for stopping by, @thebigsweed. I haven’t checked your OCD mention, did they come pay your handsomely yet?

Hey @dandays, sorry for not getting back right away. We have been out of town for the past several days. We went to Pennsylvania for a visit with our daughter. #farm-mom could not have had a better Mother's day. With Erica living 3 hours away and extremely busy with work, we don't get to see our baby doll as often as we would like. You were right on with #blocktrades stopping by. Boy does that feel good when you post content that has taken several days to compose and then have it recognized. I know that many of the posts you do require hours of work and there is nothing better than having the content HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK.
Also, thanks for the link for locating BTC ATMs. The nearest one to me is located in Syracuse NY, which is just over 100 miles from the farm. Not to practical to travel that distance, but even having any in this area is a good sign. My son Ryan just sent me this. https://cryptovest.com/news/visa-and-coinbase-form-partnership-to-release-cryptocurrency-card/.Mass adoption is on its way.
Have a great day, and thanks for always looking out.

Oh good dude, I’m glad they came around. Yeah, we can count on blocktrades paying a visit to ocd’s features—congratulations, Bob! You’re absolutely right, it’s nice to be rewarded on the projects we spend countless hours editing and perfecting.

Oh yeah my friend, I got that same article. Did you notice Coinbase opened the door in Costa Rica? I wouldn’t be anonymous but it’s nice to know the A wOrd you mentioned is gaining traction—adoption.

See you around, sir.

A business that develops of course is very pleasant, of course we hope that our business can all be successful

If you used a translation app for that comment—the app nailed it!

Thanks for stopping by, @ustazkarim.

Well that is quite the cover shot there! A glorious spread indeed. I do think Martha and Snoop are quite the magical pairing. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. 😜

And whoever don’t like peanut butter and jelly don’t like girls!

What’s up Plants? How’s it? Happy Tuesday my favorite virtual friend from Georgia—“G-A!”

Each week I’m grasping for more material to keep up with all of you real chefs. Man, if my keyboard breaks I’m screwed—like an oven that doesn’t work but worse!

Thanks for stopping by, @plantstoplanks. I never told you but every time we converse, I’m reminded of Katie, the little neighbor girl I lived across the street from when we were like 6th grade to maybe 11th, she and I were the same age—they had a pool. A dope assets pool with a slide, diving board and a cover you could walk on. I was over there every.single.day in the summer time. They had two bulldogs with smashed faces, her dad, Henry, was a retired fire chief and her mother, Patti, was a nurse at the same hospital as my mother.

Well it seems like you're keeping up alright up to this point, so barring any unforeseen keyboard accidents you're doing a-ok on the food sharing front! 😉

That's a nice Katie memory. I've never lived in a house with a pool, though we did have a hot tub for a few years in high school which was still pretty cool at the time. The closest thing we have now is the neighbors yard fills up with water when it rains really hard. Usually not a pleasant time to go swimming, though, haha!

Howdy sir dandays! that's a beautiful cover dish photo and it's super cool to see crypto spreading down there, pretty encouraging.

Janton, hello sir! You and me both—Go Bitcoin! It’s nice to be excited about the market again.

Thanks for stopping by, @janton.

oh, is that what we are? excited about the market again? Ok, that's cool, I'll get excited. lol.
Is this the long awaited bull run of Bitcoin that will lift all altcoins?

Ah who knows. ‘The long awaited one...’ I haven’t heard about that one yet. But a green market is nice to see again.

Well if Bitcoin lasts then it should have another bull run but of course it may not be a terrific trajectory, it might be a slow climb. Don't matter to us either way does it sir dandays? Because we got our small fortune invested which will turn into a large one. lol. I'm just teasing. I don't have a small fortune invested.

@dandays
