Food
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.
I like Sierra Nevada’s Summer Break. Citrusy as expected and not too hoppy. It’s very refreshing. Just don’t expect a lot of complexity (it is a solid drinkable beer!).
Partner made Boston cream pie (dessert after an amazing ribeye). 🤤
I just changed my Apple ID email address. That was scary. I think everything is fine? Took a bit of device coercing. Some needed complete log-offs, other devices figured it out on their own. Really inconsistent and that made it more scary. Hope I never have to do that again.
With the latest iOS, if a martini is in my face, Apple Watch unlocks my phone 🤗
iOS Shortcut: RaspberryShake Helicorder 24 Hour PDT Plot
I’ve a RaspberryShake that serves up helicorder plots. By default, they’re in UTC. My brain isn’t yet wired to convert UTC to PDT (my local time). So I’ve modified my original shortcut to overlay PDT onto the left Y-axis. Someday I’ll make this a bit more sophisticated such as switching to standard time or be fully international.
As with the last Shortcut, this one assumes your Shake is resolved at rs.local

iOS Shortcut: RaspberryShake Helicorder 24 Hour Plot
I rapidly made a iOS 14 Shortcut that automatically pulls the last 24 hours of helicorder plots from your #RaspberryShake (it assumes a rs.local hostname). Handy to have on the Home Screen. Let me know if there’s any problems. If you’re not in the US west coast, you’ll need to adjust to UTC from your time zone (look for Add 7 hours). Get it here.
Sunday dinner: Sous vide Arm Roast followed by Boston Cream Pie.
Easiest way to deal with (perhaps) hundreds of mandarins once ripe: juice them. These have brightened to very red-orange I wonder if they are closer to tangerines?
This morning: the most symmetrical Dutch baby we’ve ever had.
Korean cheese buldak for dinner tonight. Chicken in a hot chili sauce covered with mozzarella 🌶🌶🌶🌶 😋
I pressure checked the new hose bibb this morning; it had a slow leak at the valve threads & PVC adapter. Tightening made it worse, so after redoing the pipe thread tape with more layers, the new hose bib seems to be fine at full water pressure.
For Sunday breakfast, my partner made rösti with Swiss cheese in the middle and a sunny-side up egg on top. For Sunday dinner, my partner made Mushroom Pot Pie. She’s the best.
