I finally understand why Baking people care about sourdough with a messy constraint

I tried this in Istanbul with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the playlist for a while.

Love the tiny experiment energy. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.
