Wholesome · by Mariam Said · 2026-09-28

A tiny win from Buenos Aires that made my week for absolute beginners

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Wholesome feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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

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.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. For me it came down to the setup.

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. This pairs weirdly well with falafel. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

I would pin this if I could.
