I've never eaten one before this. I have a feeling it wasn't perfect but I thought it pretty good.

I usually only use this griddle for tortillas but I decided to try something different. This just a random "buttermilk pancake" recipe.

This website has listed multiple places to pre-order the new items after the X Summit event.

Due to social media hype/craze/mania buying new Fujifilm cameras has not been easy for a lot of people.

Edit: Warning about B&H, they usually have the most pre-orders. While these new cameras might not be as in demand as the X100VI they may still have pre-orders in the hundreds or thousands. Many people who ordered the X100VI in the first week(according to Reddit thread) have not received their camera. Many other popular stores are also having problems with supply. I don't blame Fujifilm for that though, only the people following the hype from social media. I'm hoping these links find people who are interested in photography.

Good luck.

Second time making compote but first time using cast iron to do it.

I opted for enameled over seasoned due the lemon juice added. I knew it would take a while to reduce and didn't want the extra acid to break down seasoning on my other pans.

It worked well and tasted good. Less sweet and more tart than store bought preserves.

Used it on toast, pancakes and made some tarts in the oven.

I know my personal feelings on something becoming to popular for it's own good.

I'm curious what other peoples thoughts are.

It's available for preorder!

If you know how difficult it was to get a new X100V and you're interested in the X100VI, it might be a good idea to preorder.

This is my first time making and eating this meal. It has a mild but pleasant flavor.

I carry a Leatherman Rebar when I know I'll need a few more tools in my pocket. It's only a few times a month but when I do it's indispensable.

The size is both small enough to fit comfortably in my pocket while be substantial enough to feel like a real tool. The tools I use the most are the pliers, Philips screw driver, and wire cutters.

This model locks the tools while they are open which I prefer but it lacks scissors, a replaceable bit driver and has, in my opinion, a light duty knife.

I've had this Zippo since early 2011. According to the markings it was made in August of 2010.

I don't always carry it but when I know I'm going to need a lighter it's what I use. I have other lighters around the house, for candles/starting the grill, but when I go out this one is in my pocket.

It was originally the matte black model but after more than a decade I decided to use acetone to remove the coating. It's now raw brass which I do like.

The only downside of this lighter is that the original insert will lose fluid over a few days. I did add a small piece of this plastic over the bottom of the insert to act as a gasket. It does improve the time it takes for the fluid to evaporate by about double.

I know there are flame and torch inserts but I prefer the simple mechanism of this. I've had other torch lighters in the past and they always seem to break. If something on this Zippo ever breaks I know I can repair it with a repair kit. I don't mind disposable lighters since they work well and serve a purpose but I enjoy the permanence of a Zippo.

I recently made myself a Midori inspired notebook. It's 5 oz veg tan leather that I dyed.

I received a new watch as a Christmas gift.

It's the Vaer S5 Tradition which originally came with a silicone and khaki nylon strap. Since I prefer nato straps, I swapped it for my old watch strap. It's a 40 mm case with sapphire crystal and screwdown crown. The lume is honestly better than I expected.
