A tiny story about lentil soup, Berlin and timing without making it complicated
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 than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
The detail that surprised me was how much the corner shop changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Movies feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time
