hambaagu - Japanese hamburger steak - part 2

 

I am not sure if there are many material difference between this batch and the last batch I made. But like most things, practice make perfect by fine tuning the techniques and explore the envelope. Next to no carb is what I like about this dish.

fancying a plush truck

I have decided it is time to buy my first pickup truck since now I live in the country. While my 26 year-old Land Rover Discovery still have a lot of drivetrain life left it is very outdated with poor MPG. Its best redemption is its capabilities under the worst of winter conditions on and off roads. The worst aspect is it is very tiring for a 6-hour round trip to Portland for my shopping trips.

little clay pot rice - still more variation

Blog is dead. No one read blogs anymore. It is all social and videos now.

Sometimes a few words of annotations help me remember years down the road of the progress I make over time.

sound pressure meters

I have this Radio Shack analog sound pressure meter a long time. It was the most cost effective at the time as the next step up would be professional equipment that cost close to $1000 circa 25 years ago. The main shortcoming of it is it measures only down to 60 dB.
