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
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:
I figured out how to use Fujifilm X Raw Studio to save user settings to the camera. Depending on the RAW you’re using to create a user setting, it may not let you set a higher Dynamic Range so one must find a RAW shot with that dynamic range or higher or adjust that setting on the camera. I made sure to copy these to X Raw Studio’s User Settings to keep a backup. Oddly enough, the User Settings have more restrictions on allowable characters than the camera itself. As a Mac user, X Raw Studio is clunky as heck and has needless alert dialogs but it works well enough. It is clearly purpose built.
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. 🌱
Had a really good Independence Day fried chicken with a slaw based on real garlic aioli & ripe red Santa Fe peppers.
