I finally understand why Vegan Kitchen people care about plantbased after 25 tries

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 5 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink plantbased. My friend tried it in Dublin and had the opposite result.

This made me smile more than expected. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park.

The vibe here is immaculate. For me it came down to the first draft.
