Everyday Is Farmers Market: Food Fight Friday

in fff •  6 years ago 

Hola mi amigos!

Nosotros eres en Costa Rica y yo no puedo cocino…

We made it to our first destination and it’s perfecto! On our way in we stopped at a big farmers market and got a few items to have at the house. You wouldn’t believe the size of their avocados 😋, I keep those all to myself.

Even with us traveling, figuring out where to buy a car, opening a bank account, and locking down our residency we couldn’t let Food Fight Friday go by without sharing a little something something.

We picked up a bag of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, a red pepper, an onion, and of course, I got an avocado so I could whip us up a quick lunch bowl or snack or whatever… There is a lime tree up in the beautifully landscaped jungle about 10 yards from our house and I snagged a little pink Himalayan salt from the grocer the same night as the farmers market.

Tahhhhh daaaaaa… topped with a few sunflower seeds and we are happy campers. The produce tastes like heaven too. It’s been two years since we’ve been here so I almost forgot just how good veggies can taste.

We think the view played second fiddle to the food. Muchas gracias para leyendo! Happy food fight Friday clan, and we’ll catch y’all next week :)

Pura Vida ✌️

@dandays, @puravidaville

Hahaha… Dandays showed this to me right away but I am only getting to it now 🤷🏼‍♀️ You are hilarious my friend!

Oh My Word!!!! That view........wow! Now I see why you left...you'll never be back with that view and those veggies. You can have avocado every meal now :) I am so happy for you, love your lunch. Keep sending those pics my friend. I can't imagine what you'll make next, paradise for sure , woohoo!

I think I have had an avocado m just about every meal 🤷🏼‍♀️ What can I say, I’m working on my avocado body :) Thank you for stopping by @birdsinparadise. It’s hard to keep up with Steemit from here but I sure am glad there are a few of you to keep in contact with 😉

Good luck in Round 25 of

Thanks @splatz, you rock!

You 2 dont do farmers markets 🤣. Looking good @puravidaville and congrats on the move! Beautiful view. Any waves around where yall at? I dont think those are avocados 🤣👍😎.

No waves yet, we are on a mountain. There are iguanas, cool birds, and NO mosquitos though. Big plus in my book :). These avocados are out of this world. Thank you for dropping a line my friend !

Lol cool. Especially the "NO Mosquitoes ".

Whats the time difference from LA?

Costa Rica is two hours ahead than Los Angeles. We are having a great time trying to figure this whole living abroad thing out :)

Thats awesome! You guys are awesome!

My uncle actually owns a nice cabin/peoperty out there. Never been but some of my family and alot of my surfing buddies have. Groovy 😎

Oh you should try and get out there stat then. It’s a place you’d fall in love with. Nothing else seems to matter when you’re in Costa Rica. Pura Vida my friend!

Thats so awesome! Didn't know the meaning til now :D. You Rock SiStar! Pura Vida :]

🥰

this looks delicious, so everything from you and what a beautiful weather.

Awe… thank you @proanima! Remember you always have a seat at our dinner table, wherever we are 😉

Too bad Arts doesn't eat avocados. Can you send me some? xoxoxoxo

Oh @carklevicci we’d have guacamole hangovers for days when you come to visit :)

Yay! Glad to see you are getting settled! A yummy meal for sure. I don't know though, I think it might be an even draw with the view!!

The view is spectacular! I’m just so impressed with how good veggies taste here. Dandays just had his first crack at soursop juice and he says it tastes like peach juice. I take that to mean it’s good. Haha… I’m truly looking forward to when I can try all of the fruits again. Thanks for stopping by @plantstoplanks :)

It is a stunning view! Definitely looks like a fantastic spot to take in a meal or just unwind and take in the beauty! I remember this past year when we went on vacation to the Dominican Republic I just about ate my weight in pineapple because it was so good and fresh, so I can only imagine how all of the rest of the veggies you will be around will taste. I have never had soursop before, but it's supposed to be so fantastic for you, right? Hopefully time will pass by in a blink and you'll be able to enjoy some of those yummy fruits before you know it. Can't wait to see more of your experiences as you get even more settled!

Soursop has so many benefit but one of the biggest ones is the cancer fighting properties. It’s supposed to be really good for your gut health too! D be right there with ya and the pineapple eating. I don’t think I like a fruit more than I like pineapple. Can only imagine what that liquid gold tasted like in the DR.

It is a beautiful life when you have delicious food and amazing view. I wish I was there my Dear Puravidaville. I am glad you arrived safely and you are enjoying your first days. Not to forget those huge avocados, wow!

Oh these avocados are amazing Lena. Thank you :)

I can only imagine 🥑😊🥑

haha! Howdy puravidaville! oh what a wonderful adventure you guys are on, God bless you and stay in touch!

Hey, @janton, it’s good to see you sir! Thank you so much for the blessings. God bless you and your family too. :)

howdy tonight puravidaville! You are very welcome, I'm praying for you guys everday and SO looking forward to the exciting things that God leads you into!

We very much appreciate that @janton. We, too, are looking forward to what’s in store for. Already we have conquered a few funny hiccups so this living abroad thing is quite an adventure. Be well my friend and thanks for stopping by :)

howdy puravidaville! It's my pleasure. I hope you guys can keep us up to date!

We’ll do our best. Right now our endeavors have both of us wiped by the end of the day. Soon we’ll adjust and get right back to writing/cooking, I’m sure. Thank you for keeping an eye out @janton. My husband really enjoys talking with you :)

Howdy again puravidaville! well your husband is crazy and has no taste in friends if he likes talking to me but I guess that's his problem! lol. He's amazing, he really is but then you know that already. It sounds like you're making very good progress and soon you'll be in a comfortable routine that we'll all benefit from. Bless you guys!

Haha… I had to read this response aloud to him so we both could get a laugh. Good one @janton. Here, in Costa Rica, everything happens on “her” time. It’s a very Pura Vida attitude about everything. Soon we’ll be right where we are supposed to be still :) Many blessings to you too, sir.

That looks so darn tasty!

Thank you @melinda010100! Your bowl is waiting for you in Costa Rica :)


Congratulations @puravidaville!
You raised your level and are now a Dolphin!
