A tiny story about mango sticky rice, Cape Town and timing from my rainy evening notes
This is probably obvious to veterans here but it clicked for me only recently. multiplayer got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less then 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday
