Minato Mirai was looking pretty tonight
As my daughter falls asleep, she asked me to share with you a fact she just learned. I changed her diaper in the trunk of a car in front of this very peacock.
My daughter told me she is going to "go horse around". She has never used that phrase before. I don't think she has even heard that phrase before. Where did ... Oh. Now I see what you mean.
I finally got around to mirroring my github repositories over to gitlab and codeberg.

On the topic of vanilla. Good vanilla is hard to find in Japan. There seems to be an import restriction on vanilla.
I use Mon Reunion Vanille Excellent (モンレニオン ヴァニラ). It is concentrated so this 20ml bottle lasts a very long time. 2-4 drops of this is stronger than 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence and tastes/smells much better. It is ¥1350 at tomiz (stores and website), and other places. You need to search for the katakana name to find it at a Japan store.

I just picked up this Blitzwolf BW-KB1 from HardOff for 1000 yen. RGB everywhere (controllable and disablable). USB-C port for wired use or charging. Can be paired with up to 5 different BT devices. No drivers needed. I've tested wired connectivity to Android, PC, Raspberry Pi.

I use the My Kitchen Calculator app (online version available also) to convert from volume to mass.
You select an ingredient then a source and destination units.
Found a Citroën Traction Avant on the top of World Porters in Yokohama. I don't think this one will be driving anywhere in the near future.
I want to buy the Adventure Time Complete Series set. Is anyone here selling the DVD or Blu-Ray set or visiting Japan and would be willing to bring a set with them?

Notes:
Make extra, they freeze very well.
Strong flour makes insides more gelatinous when first cooked. Weak flour makes lighter after cold.
If you use salted butter, remove the ½ tsp salt.
2 large eggs are about 100g of liquid egg or equivalent substitute.
I prefer Mon Reunion Vanilla (available at Tomiz). It is concentrated so only 8-10 drops are needed.
For savory waffles, remove the sugar. Maybe add ½ tsp more salt.

Use a scale. It makes a difference. Flour measured in cups can be off by up to -20/+80%. Also, you have to wash them later.
I convert all my recipes to mass measurements and measure by scale directly into the mixing bowl.
Also an unqualified "cup" can be anything from 150 to 250ml. In the US, 236.6, 240, 250 are valid cups. Japan 180. Brittan 170. Canada 227, 250. Latin America 200. Russia 123, 246. Dutch 150, 250.

I wonder if it is intentional. Get out then blow up the bridge behind you. Now mars or the moon is all yours.

Obviously stare. Screaming and jumping take too much energy and I don't give a shit (to the void without some form of compensation).
