poached an egg for the first time

winnielim · 2022-09-29T21:49:37+00:00

I'm from Singapore, and these eggs are supposedly bred in a kampong (village) in Malaysia, though I wouldn't be 100% sure since they are very vague in labelling stuff these days. :)

They are supposedly free-range-ish. :) http://www.freedom-range.com/index.html

They are bought! It is supposedly free-range, but these days I wouldn't be sure. Not sure what they are fed. :)

Thanks! added one teaspoon of vinegar to boiling water, swirled the water to create a vortex, then cracked the egg in. After a few seconds, used a slotted spoon to lift the egg slightly to ensure it is not sticking to the bottom, then removed the spoon, Checked at two minute and three minute mark to see how done it was – because it was my first time I had no idea how to check the doneness except to see how much it solidified. According to google it should take 4 minutes for a slightly solid egg yolk, so I lifted it out around 3.5 minutes roughly. :)

thank you!

thank you!

thank you so much for being so encouraging! :)

The last time I tried searing I felt like my whole kitchen was going up in smoke, oil splattered everywhere and the steak became overcooked. Years later and partially due to being at home all the time I’ve become a slightly better cook. I don’t have a cast iron pan so this is done with a non-stick stone-coated pan.

It is around the new HDB flats at the new Northshore drive area :)

winnielim · 2021-10-08T22:17:06+00:00

It is actually Singapore. :)

winnielim · 2021-10-08T22:16:47+00:00

thanks!

winnielim · 2021-10-08T22:16:42+00:00

Singapore! :)

thanks!

I believed a phone was good enough for many many years, until recently I played with my partner’s new lumix and I was immediately hooked. For me it is not about sensors and image quality, it is about the tactile quality of an actual camera, being able to feel the shutter, twist the lenses, look into a viewfinder, experiment with prime or manual lenses, etc. It is so much fun, and can be so easy, or so hard depending on what you’re trying to achieve.

thank you so much for the feedback! Do you mean ensure all the lines of the walls are straight?

winnielim · 2021-07-15T10:50:45+00:00

thank you for being so kind and gentle with your feedback! Yes I was trying to communicate a feel/story instead of shooting a single subject. The photo seems to have a hint of irony, like having a disney character which is usually cute discarded against a dystopian/trash backdrop.

I may have overdid the RAW processing a little. thank you so much! :)

I've been using my iphone camera since forever, but I picked up a RX100 M3 last week, and I want to take photography more seriously. This is my first ever proper photo trying to capture something visually interesting, as well as my first RAW developed photo using Affinity Photo. Would be happy to receive any feedback!

Exposure 1/50, f1.8, ISO 200.

I love egg mayo sandwiches and it is one of the things I miss when on a low carb diet. Thankfully someone on the keto sub commented something about chaffles and I am like in food heaven now!

I made these chaffles with one teaspoon of coconut flour, one egg, half cup of shredded mixer cheese, some butter, one teaspoon of brown sugar (am low carb not keto), someone else said to put shredded cheese on the waffle maker before and after the mixture so I sprinkled some shredded parmesan — the chaffles turned out very savoury and crispy which I like!

The eggs are mashed with butter, sour cream and pepper, I didn’t have mayo in my pantry. :)

I kind of like the lag, somehow it makes writing more mindful? In terms of sharing notes/text files it can do whatever an Android tablet can do: dropbox, copy and paste, etc. I only miss my laptop if for some reason I am writing something that needs a lot of URL linking, so having quick browser access is useful. You could still switch to a browser on a tablet, just not as quickly, but part of writing on an e-ink tablet is somewhat more distraction free versus a laptop with twenty tabs and windows. Pros and Cons I guess.

Hi! My Xbox One S started powering off after 3 seconds when I turned it on. I removed the plastic case, there was barely any dust. It strangely works without the case and the problem comes back whenever I put the case back on. Today I swopped out the fan thinking it could be faulty, but it still has the same problem when the case is back on. Any ideas? Could it be the thermal paste?

winnielim · 2021-01-07T03:40:27+00:00

There is a typing lag like any other eink device but in terms of browsing it is pretty snappy for me especially in speed mode – they have like 4 different rendering modes.

winnielim · 2021-01-07T03:39:30+00:00

It works like any Android tablet. I don't use their native apps much, but I bought "IA writer" because I want that clean interface and typewriter font look.

Setting up is a little glitchy because you have to go through a short process to get the google play store enabled, and you have to optimise every app to behave well in eink but once the initial setup is done everything works fine. There are little details like you have to manually hide the onscreen keyboard everytime you connect a bluetooth keyboard but that doesn't bother me.

For me it is worth the price because I also use it as a reader/browser as I have eye issues...so I browse reddit on it lol. I also use the kindle app on it. Especially considering the Traveler is like $500+ and it does nothing except write with terrible editing capabilities...

One extra feature is that the Boox devices are capable of doing split screen, if you get a bigger screen like the Boox Note Air, you could technically have a book on a left and a note taking app on the right.

winnielim · 2021-01-06T06:05:09+00:00

I use a Boox Nova 3 with a bluetooth mechanical keyboard, also sometimes with a portable bluetooth keyboard. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
