Good morning, Waffle! 🧇
Food
Potatoe croquettes for lunch today. Great use of leftover mashed potatoes.
Citrus gummies are a great way to use backyard citrus. We made Meyer lemon with Valencia orange gummies. An Alton Brown recipe. We’ve frozen our remaining Meyer lemon juice. Our citrus season is now over.
Peppers and two tomato seedlings are making great progress. We’ll likely be hardening them off in a few weeks and plant by April.🌱
Veggie sushi for dinner tonight.
Managing Anxiety
Sunday, January 23, 2022
My doctor increased my dose of an anxiety med. Took three weeks to feel the effects of that but once again I don’t feel like I’m racing against time when doing a hobby. Or in full flight mode when making calls. My heart doesn’t pound as hard and as long when starting work. HeartWatch, with its history & charts, confirms I’m not imagining my improvement. I’m given more headroom to realize I’m anxious and can mentally manage it better to avoid panic.macOS Shortcut: What's my Fujifilm Focal Length?
Saturday, January 22, 2022
Since I now have the TCL-X100II attachment and I make ample use of the Digital Teleconverter feature, I made a quick macOS Shortcut to add Fujifilm Effective Focal Length as a metadata Keyword. This Shortcut requires exiftool in your path. It’s a modified version of What’s My Fujifilm Recipe? Shortcut. This is only tested on straight out of the camera JPEGs. I added it to my Batch Processor shortcut that also runs What’s My Fujifilm Recipe?Last night’s roast beef dinner. Sunday night came early! 🤭
My favorite person made cinnamon rolls today for tomorrow morning and another weekend (raw rolls apparently freeze well).
We’re ending the year with disco fries. Everyone, have a good start to 2022.
One more photo of today’s aebleskiver making.
Aebleskiver day!
As is annual tradition, made caramel the other day. Every batch is unique. Compared to last year, the caramels are harder but bolder in flavor.
Had homemade Korean pancakes (jeon) tonight. Filled with leftover banchan used in last night’s bibimbap.
Whole wheat waffles… smothered with definitely very healthy butter and maple syrup.
The household chef making sandwich melts. I was just trying out the Kodak T-Max 400 film “recipe” found at FujiXWeekly.
Mushrooms!
Stuffing waffles for post-Thanksgiving breakfast is now 100% a tradition.
My partner in crime sure does know how to cook a golden, juicy bird.
Current Slate of Fujifilm Film Simulations
Saturday, November 6, 2021
I’ve got a slate of six Film Simulations from Fuji X Weekly loaded on my X100V. Fuji X Weekly’s Film Recipes app is nice for a quick reference. Here’s what I’ll be working with for a while in hopes of greatly limiting RAW reprocessing with Straight-Out-Of-Camera (SOOC) JPEGs: General Purpose: Kodachrome 64 Fujicolor Reala 100 Landscape: The Rockwell Afga Vista 100 Fujicolor Superia 800 (if overcast) Street: Kodachrome II I figured out how to use Fujifilm X Raw Studio to save user settings to the camera.Sourdough biscuits for breakfast today. With the X100V, learning manual focus & judicious aperture settings are key for food. And willing use of the flash. The flash on this camera is good! But don’t use the Velvia Film Simulation with flash as shadows get a very blue cast.
Chocolate chip with walnut cookie connections.
Turkey taquitos. Fried. Meaning delicious.
Cooler weather = bread baking season. My partner made Sourdough specifically for stuffing. Excellent priorities.
There’s now a Thai restaurant where I live! Pretty decent for a small town.
Celebrated mom’s birthday today with chicken fried steak (one of her favorites)! A great day.
Spice in the form of home grown assorted peppers. Turned these fine frozen specimens into hot sauce last weekend.
If you use recent Fujifilm camera (e.g. X100V), they have neat film simulations. I’ve made a iOS 15 Shortcut that’ll get the film sim from EXIF of a Fujifilm JPEG. Handy if you need a quick reminder about what film sim you used. Doesn’t yet work on B&W and sepia sims.
We made our first batch of hot sauce the other weekend. Two pounds worth of home grown peppers made about 32 oz of sauce (we like a sauce that is thicker and doesn’t dribble off things). So good. 🌱
