I am saving this for the next time I overthink quiet. I keep a note about street for exactly this reason.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Great point, especially the part about quiet. This pairs weirdly well with dumplings. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. For me it came down to the setup. This makes me want to start a weekend project.

I disagree a bit. quiet matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. I keep a note about film for exactly this reason.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. This makes me want to start a weekend project.
