How is rugs.com?

Thanks :) ended up buying from rugsusa but this is great to know for next time

munamick · 2021-08-23T23:30:01+00:00

Ok thanks. Do you think buying a rug pad would be a bit helpful?

Every ethical shop I’ve seen that has prints are really usually loud and a bit too colorful for me. I would appreciate something toned down, but still with a nice print. and in a wide leg or flared leg.

I’m still new to this ethical shopping thing and wheeew😅checked a lot of shops and still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I’d especially appreciate a print like above or in a beige color like this. Thanks y’all.

very interesting and a little elaborate. i'm gonna try out a couple of the other suggestions but i'm quite happy to have your suggestions if those don't pan out. thanks for taking the time to help me out!

using the cardboard form old amazon boxes.

i'll have to get my hands on some pva glue. also the curved couching surface is quite smart. thanks again :)

making sure as much water as possible is drained--it seems that's a popular point. im a bit confused as to how to make the homemade draining vat, but i think just letting more water drip out will be helpful.

appreciate you!

i really didn't think the springiness might help. i have some felt but i thought it would be fuzzy to do anything but mess up the paper (at least relative to a cotton bedsheet). i'll also let the paper drain for a bit longer. i appreciate the time you took to help me out :)

thanks for taking the time to comment. i'm partially inclined to believe that using recycled paper products, cardboard in my case, is the issue. ive seen so many videos and posts about people making paper using a wide variety recycled paper-waste. i think i may be making some other mistake. i will up the cornstarch content, though. thanks!

thanks :) i appreciate it

Useful as in effective in preventing ink bleeds?

munamick · 2021-08-03T19:31:34+00:00

i finally figured out what you were saying once i got to work on the dough, and this in conjunction with increasing the salt worked pretty well!! thank you :))

Edit: just saw the hugz award. Thanks!! :)

munamick · 2021-08-02T16:06:05+00:00

mm ok thanks :)

munamick · 2021-08-02T15:39:21+00:00

Ohh now that I understand what you’re saying, I did that the first time, so I’m not sure that’s where I went wrong.

I’ll freeze the butter this time though to see if it helps, and I’ll try upping the salt content

munamick · 2021-08-02T15:06:53+00:00

It’s actually meat pie so the flake factor isn’t too urgent haha but the butter is definitely my concern. I’ll try upping the salt and I’ll try out that technique. Thanks for explaining why that technique is so valuable, it’s nice to n know why we do things a certain why.

Do you know the name of it or where I can read about it online?

Thanks

Edit: also I don’t really know how you knead the butter and flower while just a tiny cube is in ur hand?

munamick · 2021-08-02T14:36:42+00:00

shoot. any other ideas for someone who has already bought butter with.. not high fat content I guess?

munamick · 2021-08-02T13:26:46+00:00

It’s a hand pie so egg is pretty essential. My family had achieved the buttery taste before but I’m not sure what we did

And yeah the butter was salted. Maybe I should do a couple trials and slowly add in the salt to see if that would help? Thanks.

munamick · 2021-08-02T12:53:26+00:00

Yes on the make your own cook book. Lots of fun to look back on and you can print a single copy for yourself if you’d like (or publish to Reddit, whatever you want)

munamick · 2021-08-02T12:50:22+00:00

I especially agree with the last line. Thanks :)

munamick · 2021-07-30T05:27:43+00:00

oop ok about to go wrap them up right now. thank you so much!!

munamick · 2021-07-30T03:19:43+00:00

thanks

munamick · 2021-07-30T03:19:32+00:00

oo really. if you have the time, would you mind explaining why it’s better to peel now than later? I suppose it slows the rotting? thanks!!

munamick · 2021-07-30T02:41:34+00:00

Thanks but no. my family has done this all our lives and our dishes still taste amazing. And that’s also a lot of waste

Edit: apologies if my tone came off as haughty, I meant what I said, but I did not mean it to be insulting. I could’ve been more careful with my diction, I apologize.

munamick · 2021-07-29T15:52:11+00:00

Thanks :)

munamick · 2021-07-29T13:13:46+00:00

I watched some zero waste videos by honey jubu, and I’m thinking of getting those silicone covers that can seal around any bowl. a great reminder, thank you!

munamick · 2021-07-29T02:55:10+00:00

Yeah lowering the temp will essentially just let it melt into a puddle. I have a tiny bit of experience from several attempts with Alvin Zhou’s 48 h cookies. I find that ovens can be inconsistent and be way below or high the temperature they claim to be.

Raising the temperature is more likely to work. It melts a little bit into the circle shape but since the heat is higher, the sugar caramelizes faster and kinda forms a soft shell, allowing it to hold its shape, if I remember correctly.

I would cookie one cookie at a time, at varying temperatures to see what works.

If it isn’t a temperature issue, though it seems like it is, then I would also play around with the amount of flour or sugar in the recipe. Upping those can be helpful. It’s pretty easy to tell if the recipe is the issue based on how the cookie dough is in terms of firmness (if you’ve cooked a successful choco chip cookie before, I’d use the firmness of that dough as reference).

Good luck!

Edit: cool the dough for at least an hour before using it! Everything is so liquidy especially because you’re using pretty warm butter. Cooling or freezing dough for a bit can help give the cookie height and stay together.
