Big fan of this approach. The late summer version is even more interesting. Now I'm hungry, which feels unfair

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day. Texture is doing a lot of work here

great point especially the part about morning. I used to overcomplicate this constantly. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. This is the kind of thing that tastes better the next day

I do not have a strong take but the before detail is useful. I learned that one the expensive way. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat

This made me smile more than expected. This pairs weirdly well with mango sticky rice
