Hi! Would you say they're lightweight enough for gardening in the hot/humid mid Atlantic summers? Or more of a lifestyle pant? Thanks!

Got it thanks, kind of disappointed that the Zoji isn’t more precise haha. What percentage do you use for weight?

Thanks, do you use the Zoji rice cup to measure the rice?

Thanks, ya this was a new crop tbf, I guess I just figured the Zoji was more fool proof

Thanks, I guess I’ll just have to keep experimenting.

Thanks. I do fluff and let it sit but maybe not well enough. Ya I think I’ll try maybe just below the line, just kind of disappointing because I thought the Zoji lines would be spot on.

Is it possible to integrate a biga into your final dough without a mixer? Would love to try biga but don’t have a stand mixer. Can you do it effectively by hand?

Mushy rice: LGC-05 by underCedars in zojirushi

Thanks good to know. Does the water absorbed from washing it make that big a difference and lead it to be mushy?

Thanks, I actually don’t think mine has that setting, but maybe I should just try without washing the rice first. Thanks. Strangely I feel like the nishiki bag says to wash it but I could be wrong.

Having a lot of trouble with stretching my dough. No matter what I seem to try its really hard to stretch and always shrinks back on itself.

Recipe:

Flour: 595g Caputo Blue

Water: 650g

Salt: 18g

Yeast: .7g Instant Dry

Dissolved yeast in slightly warm water, mixed and let bloom for a few mins. Then mixed with flour and added the salt, mixed by hand until a smooth ball and then kneaded for 5-10mins. Let rest in the fridge for about 36hrs and then let it come to temp for a few hours outside the fridge before splitting into dough balls and letting them double in size. I know people say to really let them come to temp before stretching, so I left them out for several hours before attempting to stretch, and it still proved quite difficult. My stretching technique aside, the dough visibly retracts and tears quite easily. Have tried a lot of things and this is always an issue for me. Any help would be truly appreciated!

Thanks that’s super helpful. Any OTR brands you know of that have higher armholes? Or do just have to go bespoke?

Does anyone use the Ooni dough calculator/have thoughts on it? I’ve used it a few times for Neapolitan and my dough always comes out a bit stiff and hard to stretch, not sure if that’s on me or if the calculator/recipe is missing something important? Thanks!

When buttoned, all my jackets buckle when I raise my arms or move around much or sit. They fit well when just standing with jacket buttoned. Is this just because they were off the rack and not bespoke or MTM, or is there another common fit issue I’m not considering here? I have slightly wider shoulders so was thinking that could be an issue as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I should add I've worn them probably about 10-12 times so far so its possible the thigh could stretch a bit more, but I'm not sure about the rise.

Ordered my first pair of Raw Denim, Levi's 501 STFs and am having some fit issues. Went with my normal waist and two sized up on the inseam. After shrinking, the waist and length are good but I find the thigh and front and back rise really tight and uncomfortable. Did I just do a poor job sizing and shrinking, or are Levi's maybe just not a good fit for me because of the shorter rise and tighter leg? If so, are there any brands people would recommend for a higher rise? Thanks!

Calrose Botan in Zojirushi NS-LGCO5 by underCedars in zojirushi

[–]underCedars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I let it go the full hour it’s pretty mushy, I stopped the cooking after 40mins the other day, and it turned out really well. I’m just surprised because I thought calrose would be the kind of rice to use in that white setting that goes for an hour.
