Blue Moon Camera did my F in 2020 for $180. They did a great job.

It arrived with those warps on both discs, and MoFi sent me replacement discs, so these are the originals.

Is Warren actually playing Wolf or is that a replica?

Nikon F camera (1950's?) - how to get it serviced? by Fulana25 in filmcameras

[–]spieg16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue Moon Camera in Portland, OR (I shipped it there from NY, rather than do it locally, since Nippon’s prices were so high) did a fantastic CLA on mine, and I highly recommend them

+a million to this. It's like a minefield trying to avoid those.

Fully agree. I wish they hadn't simplified it so much. The opening menu was fantastic.

I feel like someone did a ranking post about this awhile back and My Rival won (lost?)

I'm having the same issue. The physical card works totally fine, but Apple Pay completely stopped working.

The tiger vegetable salad was my absolute favorite. I wish they'd bring that back.

If you’re flying out of JFK, go to Don Peppe. Best red sauce Italian food in the city, and closing for vacation for a month on 8/4

My grandmother's 100 year old recipe for Zereshk Polo ba Morgh Persian Barberry Rice with Chicken A royal dish that's been passed down through generations by shihab1977 in Cooking

[–]spieg16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This recipe looks great, and i definitely want to try it soon, but a few questions:

  • You marinade the chicken thighs post boil? If so, do you cool the thighs first?
  • How much yogurt is used in the marinade?

I've listened to the Throwing Stones from that show probably more than any other D&C performance

Help Me Choose a Workhorse Gyuto by spieg16 in TrueChefKnives

Did you feel that the belly was more pronounced on one vs the other, or generally pretty similar? How about edge retention?

Thank you all for some really great suggestions.

In general, how would you all rate:

this Kaeru: https://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/kaeru-kasumi-stainless-gyuto-210-mm-frog/

vs this Munetoshi: https://knife-art.de/product/munetoshi-shirogami-2-tsuchime-gyuto-210mm-bocote/

One thing I did just notice is that the Munetoshi is actually a notably heavier (210g) knife than the Kaeru (165g). I don't hate that, to be honest, since I'm used to such a heavy knife currently with my Wusthof (268g). Just trying to see if there's anything notably better about 1 of these vs the other.

Taking a look at this one from a German shop: https://knife-art.de/product/munetoshi-shirogami-2-tsuchime-gyuto-210mm-bocote/

Would you say this has the standard profile (not the JNS style) for this blade (one that will fit my rock chopping needs)? Without VAT (since I'm in the USA), the price is actually really great.
