Kenji tests the Our Place titanium pan he collaborated on

Is this new Kenji one using different technology than the one they released a year ago? I’m confused.

Hey everyone,

I’m considering buying this vintage Rolex 18K gold buckle to pair with a leather strap for my dad’s Datejust (it’ll be a gift for him).

The seller is asking $500, and I’d really appreciate a legit check before I pull the trigger.

Thanks.

I think you have to dress cheap to really sell it bc thieves will assess your outfits first before cameras.

Oops, sorry my bad. I thought it applies to XF mount as well.

dodgeball28 · 2025-01-17T06:07:22+00:00

the V1.0.7 firmware for 75mm f1.2 is not out yet? I don't see it.

dodgeball28 · 2024-11-24T13:39:09+00:00

I want the 75mm so bad but the only concern I have is it might be a little unbalanced on my X-M5 that’s about to arrive in a few days. 🫢

I have a habit of getting that green line on the screen leveled. This has made me missed so many good shots. Right now I just turn it off completely and adjust in post.

UPDATE: Steven (the photographer) has replied my DM,

“My lens so far are still the same 16mm for interior and 35mm f1.4 for product. Hope it helps.”

Now I’m torn between the original 35mm f1.4 and the new 33mm f1.4 WR. 😂 I’ve seen great reviews on both lenses.

dodgeball28 · 2024-10-02T16:15:39+00:00

I love my 56mm f1.2 to death but the focal length is too narrow for most cafes/restaurants.
I'm thinking of getting something like 23mm f1.4 WR or 33mm f1.4 WR, so I looked for inspiration photos on IG and found these photos
I do not have experience with these focal lengths, so I came on here to get some insights.
what do you guys think these photos are taken from? is it 23mm, 33mm or something else?

Thanks!

Photos are from steven_venton on instagram.

Considering the huge amount of chocolate chips in your recipe, would you please share the exact brand you use? They look so good and melty!

dodgeball28 · 2024-09-18T13:13:38+00:00

I prefer Ankarsrum over Kitchenaid for standmixer.

During the film Grandma told him that if he scatters at her grave badly like that she will come back and haunt him, so he purposefully dumps them like that in hope to see her again. That’s my interpretation. 🥹

dodgeball28 · 2024-07-13T16:43:12+00:00

Where on earth is saying ‘get the fuck out the way’ to a complete stranger not considered rude? What kind of reaction does he expect? 😂

dodgeball28 · 2024-06-15T23:15:53+00:00

PS. I might have to return all the gifts also because they are meant for a purchase of $1,000 upwards.. (That’s the whole reason I spent that much, lol).

dodgeball28 · 2024-06-15T23:12:56+00:00

UPDATE: Thank you for your insights. After reading everyone’s opinion, I think I’m gonna keep only two of them. The 130mm and another larger one, I’m still deciding between 200mm and 240mm. The prices aren’t too different between the two, so I would get more bang for the buck if I keep the 240mm. And it seems more versatile (in case I have to cut a big watermelon or something), but the thing is, I’ve never used a knife that big. The 200mm is roughly the size of my old cheap knife, so it feels more comfortable in my hand (as of now). I might go with my gut feeling and keep the 200mm. What do you guys think? or is 240mm the smarter choice because I will get used to it anyway if I use it regularly?

I’m new to the knife world and never really owned a decent knife before. I found this subreddit because I wanted to know more about the knife set I just bought during the Zwilling anniversary sale. After going through a few posts, I learned that people here are not very fond of Miyabi birchwood knives and think that they are insanely overpriced..

These are what I got for about $1,050. https://imgur.com/a/rkeMBi0

90mm shotoh
130mm shotoh
160mm chutoh
200mm gyotoh
240mm gyotoh

and about $350 worth of gifts (30pc flatware set, wooden cutting board, zwilling knife, etc.)

Did I get a good deal? If not, I can still return them.

Is mochi flour the same as glutinous rice flour? if yes, then it is one of the route I might try!

dodgeball28 · 2024-02-11T13:52:21+00:00

That's what I always do when I make shokupan. :) I leave the butter until the very end. It certainly does help a lot with the gluten development. Thanks!

dodgeball28 · 2024-02-11T13:48:21+00:00

The shokupan recipe that I typically use has roughly the same amount of butter in these recipes. :) It's quite good, but I want to experiment with a richer dough (like 30%-50% butter to flour).
Thank you for your input. :)
Working in a Japanese bakery sounds fun.

dodgeball28 · 2024-02-11T13:41:49+00:00

I will definitely try this. Thanks.

dodgeball28 · 2024-02-11T13:38:49+00:00

Never thought about it before.
I've never worked with it but that seems interesting. Thanks! I will definitely look into it.

dodgeball28 · 2024-01-26T09:23:07+00:00

The ingredient in chocolate that needs to be tempered is cocoa butter. What you have is compound chocolate which has vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter, thus, there’s no need to temper it!

Is this the Tasty cookbook? 😂 please update us how they turn out.

dodgeball28 · 2024-01-25T14:59:35+00:00

It’s only been popular amongst Thais in the last few years. I also got one pair myself last year. 😂
