First grouping the FAO in their own folder.
Making tinkering a folder including the current thread and at least the daily whip thread.
The 'general' folder makes me think of my socks drawers... You can find anything... Even socks if you spend enough time...

Yes, a Hobbies sub would be very good, with a DIY subsub, etc.

My thing is finding videos on how to do things when there is a lack of Japanese goods for the stuff you would do back home. That's kinda my hobby now.

So a "local equivalent" thread might be nice to list all the acquired knowledge on this field...

I've never tried that. I've only ever eaten them.

But ya... cheese cake factory bomb as fuck if you haven't had some home made in a long time. I get me some good ol' pies of all kind made by some country folk. Can't beat that!

Found a place that makes and sells a good tortilla. Refried beans on the otherhand are freaking expensive. 500Y ish a can

Well it's pretty creamy, yellowish in color, I like mine fresh and warm. But meh to each his own

I seem to remember being able to make decent tortillas by using some secret mixture* of medium flour (中力粉) and corn flour. Maybe they weren't "right," but they were damn good.
* It's only "secret" because I can't remember the proportions ... sorry 'bout that (although I do have it written down somewhere).

The somewhat grainy stuff, whichever that is.

It is an American use English and British use English issue.
Cornflour is the ambiguous term. What the US calls cornflour, the UK calls maize flour, and what the UK calls cornflour the US calls corn starch. It is probably best to avoid the term here where it is unclear which you are referring to, and to take care when buying it in shops with English language labels.
