The title dates back to 1991, remember this hit song? You know you rocked C+C Music Factory with a side of Dee Lite in your MC Hammer parachute pants with 30 zippers on the legs—you didn’t buzz vertical lines in your eyebrows did you? “Warm it Up, Chris!” None of these either, right? I was going through the pictures in my phone just now trying to put together a @foodfightfriday contender and realized there’s several “Things Make You Go Hmmm” in there that I’ve been meaning to show you—like this vegetable panini and side salad:
The sandwich is fine, it was delicious actually, I could’ve eaten two—toasted flat bread with a garlic aeoli, roasted onions, cucumber, carrot, zucchini and romaine lettuce with a side salad. It’s the salad that’s questionable—mixed greens and shredded carrots are one thing but what’s that white stuff? 🤔
“Hmmm.” Oil soaked bird fetuses seasoned and mechanically whisked in a bowl of sugar and nursing liquid extracted from cow utters—thanks, but no thanks.
As many times as I’ve read this book, the part where they consume eggs and milk still eludes me. “Hmmm.” 🤔 Like the bargain price of motor oil in Costa Rica.
In Los Angeles, California, you can walk into any convenience store or gas station and pick up a quart of 15w-40 motor oil for about three bucks. In comparison to Costa Rica, that’s six quarts for the price of one:
Two (2) quarts of Castrol 15w-40 engine oil after import fees cost 22,300 Colones—$38.04 USD. $19.02 per quart to be exact. “Hmmm.” 🤔
No import fees on weed, though! Its’s about the same price between here and Los Angeles and the quality is comparable too. You can walk into any one of a bajillion stores in LA and walk out with an all natural growing, water and sunlight fed (photosynthesis), flowering plant that produces something like this:
I’ve since found some comparable weed here in Costa Rica from three different sources—naturally grown flowers that look and taste real similar:
That isn’t the part that makes you go “Hmmm,” 🤔 in fact, it makes you go “Ymmm.” However, when we first arrived in Costa Rica back in January, our first host said he could hook me up with a bag so I wanted to check it out—this is what he showed me:
“Hmmm.” 🤔 Eh, thanks but no thanks! I’m not even sure what that is, pot potting soil? Speaking of thanks—thanks to you for hanging out with me again on another Friday. Same place next week, deal? #food related and Friday is the extent of the #rules at kitchen #fff, it doesn’t get more user-friendly than that. Stop by discord and say hi—have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by @cityofstars.
lol
...It's like this and like that...
My man!!
...to the next episode...
Hello @dandays, how are u doing? Looking at the photo of the food you are sharing, it looks like the food is very delicious ... but after I read your writing about the food, I am no longer in the mood to eat it because I really don't like the ingredients. have a nice week end, sir.
What don’t you like, roasted vegetables or bread?
Thanks for stopping by @elianaelsima.
I'll pass on the bird fetuses, as well. So I'm totally giggling at the sweet hair cut in that photo because I saw a kid in the grocery store this morning with the number 6 creatively designed onto his scalp. 🤷♀️ Maybe some kind of sports reference?? Definitely made me go hmmm, but I can absolutely give props to anyone talented enough to buzz out that wicked hair art.
Thanks for the tunes and the laughs. 😉 Always a pleasure to finally get a chance to pop by!
My favorite plant.. well, 🤔 uhm, hold that thought! Hey what’s up my favorite trainer?! 😉 I’m glad you made it by here, you had me worried for a minute. Thanks for checking me out.
Fun fact; I did those lines in my head before, one time, it was before a football game. I can remember riding my bicycle to the barber shop that cut flat tops into my head, junior high school, but this time I wanted some Brian Bosworth lines. Barbers name was John (can’t believe I remembered that) who cut my hair all the time. He actually made me call my mom so she could verify it was ok—ha!! I showed up to the game and all my teammates just thought I was the coolest.
Bird fetuses—eh, that was funny huh? Pura said “did you have to be so descriptive?”
I’m glad I can make you laugh, chef, my pleasure!
Thanks for stopping by @plantstoplanks.

Made my first #fff post yesterday so I'm checking out some of the active members. Seems like a lot of love and support in this group, always happy to see that.
That cracked me up! The panini looked great though. And your host in Costa Rica trying to hook you up with that bag of sawdust, lol.
Anyway, nice to meet some of you, see ya around!
My pleasure blueeyes8960, thank you very much for reading this one. Yeah, that bird fetuses one got a good laugh out of my wife and I, too. She said “did you have to be so descriptive?!” Laugh out loud!
It’s a pleasure to be met, I’m glad you threw down in the kitchen with us! 👍🏿 There sure is a lot of love and support here, well said—you’ll fit right in!
Thanks for stopping by @blueeyes8960.
The price difference sucks, but at least weed is about the same price. I wonder if ours is comparable as well (around 15 to 25 USD for 3.5g of ~20% thc). Eitherway, I'm sure they all taste great 🤗. Great post again, maybe I'll go check #fff out
Hey what’s up man? Happy Saturday. I hope you’re having a good weekend. I’m glad you liked this article, sir, thanks for checking it out.
Heck yeah, do check out #fff pegarissimo. We’ve been at it for a long time now, it’s a lot of fun actually, I think you’ll agree—give it a shot next week and tell me what you think.
Your figures are right on. A 1/4 (7 grams) is $50 and I paid $90 for the last half oz. I got so the prices seem to be identical.
Thanks for stopping by @pegarissimo.

Okay, I didn’t shout you out specifically but that’s only because I constantly shout you out. It’s nothing that’ll make you go “hmmm” right?!? Haha… I love you and you write/create such interesting stuff all the time. You are amazing! I guess it’s good you stopped smoking seeing as how you won’t have it in England either :). You’re doing great. Muah
Sorry for the weak upvote—accident! As soon as I did it I was like “ahh!” You shout me out every article stunner, chew talkin’ bout Willis?!
I love you right back. Thank you! At the end of the day, I could have childhood acquaintances who constantly strive to go against every.single opinion I share to the point I believe they’re just anti-dan and the people who share my DNA could disown me multiple times, over nothing, throughout my life but you’re all that matters. I’m the luckiest guy I know.
Anytime I can get you to call me amazing erases everything that isn’t amazing—muah!
iheartu all the time beautifullest.

You are amazing and I’ll sing that from the mountain tops for the rest of our lives. Thanks for just being you babe!
If nothing else, at least found some good "stuff" to keep your head straight hehe
That one made me laugh out loud—good one! Happy Wednesday to my favorite New Yorkers.
Thanks a lot for stopping by @farm-mom.
that's great writing

ok please follow my post
Funny stuff, I would have eaten the salad, but not after that description.
Weed looks good and the prices seem to be in line with what you would expect.
You guys must be excited to be closing in on your departure date to England.
Hope all is well, and safe travels.
Hey good morning my favorite New Yorker, thanks a lot for reading this one. 👍🏿 Either we wake up at or around the same time or you just happen to respond to my articles as I’m waking up—it’s neat!
A big lol at that fetus description, Pura and I got a good laugh out of that one too, she said “did you have to be so descriptive?!” Haha!! I’m glad I can make you laugh, Sweed.
Oh man you ain’t kidding about, she’s particularly excited. I’m excited for her, we both get to journey through the part of the globe her dad is from—how exciting! Six more days, sir, and we’ll be in your neck of the woods with a few days following that—crossing the Atlantic.
We’re both equally excited to get the heck out of Costa Rica too—talk about disappointment.
Thanks a lot for stopping by @thebigsweed.

Good to hear from you my friend. It has been a while since we have talked, and that is my bad. Have been very busy with some pretty big projects here on the farm.
Will be doing some major restoration to Uncle Lou's barn. Entrance doors to the barn no longer close as the side walls have kicked out a foot or more over time.
Foundation is no longer sound and the ramp and foundation we will be replacing.
There is also some structural issues on the inside of the barn that also need to be repaired. All in all the renovation should take about a week.
This project should make for a great post.
You know, when I am absent from Steemit, I feel bad that I have not stayed in touch.
Your Costa Rica trip may not have panned out like you expected, but at least you spent enough time there before making it your permanent residence and than realizing that the natives are less than friendly. That in itself is a victory.
if something looks really annoying, I will leave it, which is definitely the thing that made me go
I always wondered why you never Upvote my articles—is it because they annoy you?
Thanks for stopping by @ustazkarim.

Howdy sir dandays! that's a strange place in many way isn't it? That panini looked really good though but the oil price is astounding! I like that football player's look, I don't even know what you call that, very artistic buzzing! It's super cool.
