A tiny story about pasta, São Paulo and timing after 4 tries

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. libraries got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. This is more useful on a tired commute than on a perfect day.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.
