I would support this if people without social accounts can do a short conversation with the same three volunteers instead.
I am still learning this, but the hot-water wrappers I have made were softer and easier to roll. The cold-water ones seemed tougher and better at holding a wet filling together.
For me the biggest difference was not the dough alone. If I am tired and overfill them, every wrapper method becomes a bad method.

Also I have worked hospital nights, so I understand that when somebody says ‘do not startle the fish,’ you just nod and keep moving.

August 22, 2026 at 9:26 pm in reply to: Yuba and tofu skin are two different kinds of patience #2262I’m not sure, but do you ever pre-soak the thicker sheets in warm water and then cut them smaller first? I keep wondering if I am just treating yuba like regular tofu and getting punished for it.
Do you use the same stuff for bao-style wraps and for…
Yes, exactly. A plain sticker and a decent scan would help a lot more than pretending…
I agree, with one caveat: sometimes the art is so bad it becomes memorable in a way that helps the record get noticed. That is not the same as good design, just stubborn visibility. Still, for selling, I think a clean note about the pressing and genre is way more helpful than apologizing for the sleeve. People can handle ugly. They hate being misled more.
I think people underrate how much a bad cover can hide a really good album. Sometimes it is not even funny-bad, just generic or ugly in a way that makes you skip past it at the store.
If I am recommending something like that, I usually mention one song first so they have a way in.
Maybe a practical test is whether you would still pull it from a crate if the price tag were hidden. That usually tells me more than the art, honestly, especially with older jazz and rock pressings. I have bought a few ugly ones that way and some were instant favorites. The cover stayed ugly, though, no miracle there.
That is a very good image, and probably more honest than some covers. Copier jam energy…
The tax form thing made me laugh, but I also think some ugly covers just date an album hard. Then the music starts and it is better than the picture by a mile.
I have one record like that where the band looks like they were photographed under a hospital light. Still great songs though.
I’m not sure, but the tax form one sounds worse in a very specific way. Is it one of those albums where the cover makes you think the band is way more serious than the music actually is?
