Friday again huh? I just verified today’s name in the calendar of my phone and was made aware of two things: First, I answered my own question, today is Friday—fact. Happy Friday! Second, there’s five Fridays this month, 5 f’s (fffff), you know what that means... Five @foodfightfriday contenders at the coolest kitchen on the #blockchain in May, 2019. It is May, right⁉️
Last week I explained the editing process to Pura’s videos and figured tonight I’d show you an example of a not-so coolest kitchen on the blockchain—Pura Vida’s. They’re temporary, we aren’t staying anywhere longer than 30 days so you can imagine the supplied kitchen utensils—basic. Some have blenders, some don’t. Some have microwaves, most don’t, no mixers or specialty items, each location has specific obstacles. We’ve since learned none have welding gloves or weed pot hod’lers either. 🤔
When we landed here in January, Pura got a couple of specialty tools that we carry around with us from place to place but that doesn’t change the place—everything else in these kitchens is rented. Like this oven at our current location:
Classic!
It’s such an elegant kitchen appliance I felt obligated to photoshop a redwood frame around it before its premier as this weeks cover image—check it out! A one large, two small, electric burner having, no writing or anything, just a 1 and a 6 which cook differently depending which dial you’re using. No timer, no oven light, no adjustable flame and only recently acquired welding gloves an oven mitt for the thing—doesn’t matter. I know one 10 who doesn’t give two turds:
Pura Vida
We’ll be in Guanacaste Province de Costa Rica for a few more weeks—my second favorite stop so far this year. Our current location is a studio apartment on the beach, has a pool, free laundry, WiFi, hot water (you’d be surprised) it checks all of the boxes. Kitchen too, of course, that’s another necessary check. However, not all kitchens are spacious.
I heard “you could’ve at least put the dishes away” but that’s not the point. Every kitchen has dishes, it’s the 24x24 square inches of featured counter space that not every kitchen has. And she still does this:
The cooking utensils are also minimal—one weed pot, one pan, each with their own lid, a few mixing bowls, no more, no less. What you see is what you get—perfect.
It’s just a #new challenge for one 10 who doesn’t give two turds. And it works out great for me! I’m the luckiest.. you know! Gas stoves, electric, six burners, three burner, double oven or no oven at all doesn’t make a difference to me—“guilty!” We shop for the best deals, Pura’s always scoring great deals on temporary rooftops and sure, some of these stays have better kitchens than others but regardless where we are, the #quality on the plates doesn’t change, #life is still the funnest game I’ve ever played and it doesn’t look like we’ll be running out of #fff contenders any time soon.
Same place next week, deal? Thanks for hanging out with me on another Friday, if you haven’t entered #fff yet, you should probably do that—it’s a fun place to be. Friday and #food, the rest you just make up as you go.
Click here for Thursday.
Click here for Tuesday.
You totally could have put the dishes away for that pic. Also, I do have a bread tin and a casserole dish that we travel around with, which as I type this am realizing that might be weird 🤡. I love you, I love our lives, I’ll feed you plates fit for a King for the rest of our lives regardless of the kitchen I need to prepare them in. Muah right on your face. Muah
You know.. your mushy responses are really starting to effect the bullet-proof best wearing thug image I’m trying to portray on here.
I’m the luckiest guy I know. Did you see the chick in my article?! That’s you. Bee you tough full. Aisle of view.
iheartu all the time beautifullest.
Haha… read slowly and you’ll get it 😉- got it. Muah
you look sleepy and bored in the picture lol
You look sleepy and bored in the picture 😜
Bad timing to typo ‘vest.’ My phone must have been practicing its Spanish.

Great review @dandays and it is amazing that in this kitchen you could make these very tasty dishes, it is great!
Thank you for hanging out with me again for another food fight, I appreciate your continued support. That little kitchen packs a heck of a meal. 👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by @serkagan. Have a great weekend.

there are lots of foods that I can see, whether this is a homemade product and processed
Good morning sir, I’m glad you continue to make your way to my page.
Thanks for stopping by @ustazkarim, I hope you’re having a nice weekend.

You probably should give up on including pics of puravida. Your inferior skills will NEVER reflect the beauty that she radiates in person. That's not to say that the image you posted was anything less than gorgeous...I guess you should go ahead and keep trying.
( just kidding...youre the dizzle...your'e the mann )
Never ever ever ever ever... the dopest pen, pencil, keyboard, doesn’t matter, none of them can draw a picture of Pura Vida—I’m the luckiest guy I know.
Dios te bendiga my man! Just like I can’t describe her beauty, I also can’t descrive how cool it is you keep an eye one me—much love my brother!
Thanks for stopping by @carklevicci.
Ya'll are in my prayers everyday. All good here. I just returned from the ranch. Beast OG is the flavor of the day.
Wow, I'll have one of each of those dishes..man @puravidaville is an incredible chef and you my friend are one lucky guy too! Beautiful pic btw...looks like beach life is certainly treating you well (and she says she's putting on the weight with all of those avocados, shhhhh not true!) Nice kitchen, all the gadgets you need, and a niiiiiiiiice stovetop! Keep living the life you two, I love it! :)
Good evening birds, how the heck are you? We are living, “guilty,” you are too! Check you out road trippin and staying at koa joints—I’m loving it! Road trips are the best, even the quick ones.
Yeah, this is the type of temporary kitchens Pura deals with and comes out on top every time. One pot, 2 burners, we were even in one place that only had a stove top, no oven—didn’t matter. I’m the luckiest guy I know.
You birds have a safe trip. God bless us all the same.
Thank you for stopping by @birdsinparadise.
Left the storage container living, and onto the next place, what an exciting way to be able to live.
Guanacaste Province de Costa Rica is to your liking I see, that's good to hear.
The lack of pot, I mean pots, can obviously be worked around. I'm not sure about being able to work around a lack of pots without the s.
In reading through the comments I was looking to see if anyone else mentioned the fact that you included a picture of @puravidaville.
I know that I always wonder what the person looks like that I am corresponding with.
Well, I'm going to be the first, and maybe the only one to comment, you are a very lucky dude.
You got yourself a girl that can cook, rides a Harley, more than likely keeps you in line, is adventurous, likes to take chances, I mean she did marry you😁, and is absolutely a 10. You're so right when you say that you are a lucky guy.
You still have the tax man after your a--, that sucks. After taking two years, two weeks and five days to finally get to even street, what the hell can he want know.
He probably wants to be reimbursed for the cost of the stamps it takes to stay in touch with you.
Have a great day, and both of you guys stay safe.
As soon as I read the post by @memo, I thought about what you had said concerning the draft, it fit the situation perfectly.
Keep me posted on the JFK thing.
Costa Rica not your cup of tea, always nice to visit an area before moving in permanently.
You would think that tourists would be more than welcomed, along with their USD.
Maybe they all have BTC and don't give a rat's a-- about greenbacks. 😁
Off to Europe next, England, Spain or some other destination, go for it.
You can always move back to the states, that's unless the IRS has you on their Top 10 list of criminals.
Wednesday is no longer refereed to as hump day. Every day is part of the extended weekend. I know you get that.
Live, Laugh, Love!
Are you at the point where you forget what month it is?
Right now we’re just thinking of somewhere we’d like to go, nothing is certain. Except for JFK, regardless where we’re off to that would be our layover. Eh, you know you’re on discord, right? I’ve shot you a couple of messages. Do you ha e the discord app? I’m dandays#6299 over here. Ps, I can almost taste that syrup.
Visiting a place, that’s the thing. It’s a completely different country when you’re a tourist. It’s pretty sad really. We’ve met people who have done huge things like buy a house and/or business when they get here and now they’re stuck.
(I’m capturing another sunset to time lapse now)

Sure is cool of you to stop by page like this, I just responded to your other comment—you’re awesome. I really appreciate you upvoting my two features. While I’m giving thanks, I really appreciate you mentioning my article the other day about ‘military acceptance age.’ I saw that like “nooo way! Man Bob sure is cool!!”
Yes, this province is our favorite part of Costa Rica but you know what? We’ve already made this country tiny and engulfing ourselves in the culture here for going on six months was plenty of time to figure out the locals here F’ing hate
white“English speaking” people. So, we’ve been doing some studying recently and are currently preparing to go to the next one. 👍🏿 Eh, you know what?Side bar ‘If’ our next destination is England for three months before Spain for three months, or another part of the European Union, we would land at JFK first. Costa Rica, NYC, then England. Hmm..... 🤔 How far are ya’all from JFK?
Lack of Pot without an S has been shockingly easy to avoid actually—God is great! 👍🏿 As for the kitchen, not so much but Miss Ville turns out 5-star meals one after the other.
You know, only the women mentioned her “is that your wife in the picture?” They asked. Laugh out loud! I think maybe the fellas thought they’d offend me but that couldn’t be more opposite. Thank you! Yes’ir all of the above is what she’s capable of and wakes up daily just a stunning 10—I’m the luckiest guy I know! Thank you for noticing, sir!
....and she still thinks it was a good idea, too! 👍🏿
Dude.. the IRS! My God, brother, I don’t’fa king get it sir! This is the first year since 2006 I’ve filed my taxes on time, I cleared my bill before I left, I thought I was home free. Now I have a letter en route to me from Las Vegas and I have no idea what they want this time but I know it’s not a thank you letter. I know it’s not a check! It’s too early to be a Christmas card. They want more money from me and now I have to wait to see how much—ish drives me crazy.
Seems like you and I are pretty comfortable typing to each other because our responses always end up being post-worthy. Have a great hump day, sir, I’ll see ya around!
Thanks for stopping by @thebigsweed.
Exquisite stove @dandays. And easy to cook on it.
Exquisite? Not quite the wOrd I would expect to read. But it’s funny! How’s it going eii? It’s nice to hear from you again—I hope all is well.
Thanks for stopping by @eii.
👍
That's a small banquet! And in such a simple set up. Great job, indeed. 😁
Eh, how’s it going trincowski? Happy Saturday, what’s on the agenda this weekend? Any concerts? Thanks a lot for reading this one friend, I’m glad you liked it. If you find yourself taking pictures of something you ate this coming week, I wouldn’t mind bumping elbows with you in the kitchen. 👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by @trincowski. Thanks for all of your support too man, much appreciated—have a great weekend.

I am staying in, this Saturday. I need to take care of some things, such as filling my tax return forms. What a drag. 😑
You’re in for a treat here, @trincowski, check it out—taxes. I’ll give you the summarized version. Between 2006 and just last year, in the states, I had IRS on speed dial. I’ve owed as much as 6 figures so, needless to say, we send each tower Christmas cards. Yeah, it’s tough being single with no kids or mortgages while working full time.. the Feds HATE flight risks!
Well, before I could leave the country, I had to squash that bill. It took me two years, two weeks and five days to leave the country because of them. In and out of offices, pay this, pay that, etc. trying to clear my name because the last thing you want is those guys in your pocket when you’re outside the US.
Anyhow, after 2 years, 2 weeks and 5 days, I got the green light, the IRS sent me off and wished me safe travels—yeah right! But at least we were back to even. Dude.. I even got a refund this year of $17 when I filed a few months back—yes!!
Well, I just got notification from my mailbox in Las Vegas, last week. It seems the IRS is back, they sent me a new invoice. I have nofa king clue wtf they want now dude! F’ing heartless pricks. And.. get this, I have to wait three weeks for the mail to arrive here so I’m just in limbo the whole time like “great.. what now?!”
Oh, no... Good luck with that. I am still procrastinating my tax return filling. Ihihihihi.
Your Food Fight Friday Contender has been entered into Round 44
May your contender make it out alive and not be placed in a permanent food coma!
Good Luck
Hello @dandays, how are you doing? I think the kitchen is good and clean. I am in Indonesia even have a kitchen that is far below the standard. Even the people here cook a lot with firewood ... I see a lot of delicious menus. Is that the result of your cooking, sir? and the woman is very beautiful. I think she is your wife. Enjoy your day my friend.
.
Good morning Eliana, how are you today? Happy Saturday! A lot of cooking by firewood in your country? Fascinating! Here I am thinking our conveniences are sub-par and you quickly remind me how fortunate we are—thank you!
Negative. I used to cook all of the time but my wife has since really domesticated me, now I just post articles and take pictures about food—her food. Yes, the beauty in the picture is @puravidaville, my wife, I’m the luckiest guy I know. If you haven’t had a chance to check out our new video recording adventure, stop by her page and check it out. I think you’ll like it. Let me know what you think!
Thanks a lot for stopping by @elianaelisma, it’s always a pleasure to hear from you. Please feel free to join us for a food fight one or all of these Fridays—it’s a lot of fun. I’d love to see you at kitchen #fff. Have a great weekend.

Howdy sir dandays! what a gorgeous stove. that's another 10 right there! lol. Puravida does NOT look thrilled. lol. that's a great picture! I'm sorry man. I'm going to have to put you out to pasture. lol. no, I'm going to have to put you on autovote because I can't seem to make it over here often enough.
That's what I've been doing all week, putting everyone on autovote because I can't make it to their posts and I keep missing them. Ben doin alot of work offline, that's the problem. But Mrs. J is happy so it's also the solution!
I understand why you’re pasteurizing me—ha! No, really.. I’ve been in the same position lately. We’ve been finding ourselves doing a lot more outside lately and I’m not having time to write, engage, etc. I’m just glad you visit when you do, sir, thank you!
Quite a few people have mentioned Pura looks pissed in that picture—lol! That’s my 10 for ya, stand offish on the outside just too keep the good people in check.
Thanks for stopping by @janton. However it is, sir, know that I appreciate your support, however I get it and I’m glad we met. 👍🏿

Thanks sir dandays, yes I'll be around as often as I can. When you get a chance can you tell me how you type a word and then cross that word out with a line? you use that in such an effective and usually hilarious way!
when Puravida looks that way..don't you mean she does that to keep the BAD people in check? She wouldn't need that for the good people, right?
Negative. Locks on doors are to keep the good people out, correct? Bad people are going to get in. But you already knew that.
Are you kidding me?! I get to help the #history buff, Janton?! My pleasure, sir. By the way, that was a very nice compliment commending the way I
circlecross out words. I appreciate that a lot. Thank you.Two of those squiggley things before and after the wOrd you’re wanting to
squarecross out. Two of these “~~” on both sides of the wOrd.howdy again sir dandays! Negative?? So the hard-case look is to keep the good people AND the bad people in check. Right?
I don't know why I'm having a hard time conceptionally. But you ARE and artist and a muscian right? Both HIGHLY suspect when it comes to convention. In fact there shouldn't BE much convention in either
dysfunctionprofession . lol..Thanks so much for the word crossing out instrucitons, that's so easy! Now I just need to find a sense of humor so I can use it like you do!
