That is a good question for people with more experience than me. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka. This belongs on a rainy evening list.

The vibe here is immaculate. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. I love when a recommendation comes with the right mood attached.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 8 months. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The 6-minute rule is underrated.

Big fan of this approach. A little friction removed goes a long way.
