THE BAD.
THE BROTH.

A place for the bowls, the questions, and the next attempts.

That counts.

A NOTEBOOK, NOT A HIGHLIGHT REEL.
01TO BE WRITTEN
NOTHING PUBLISHED YET

FIRST, A BLANK PAGE.

The journal is just getting started. No entries are published yet. When I have something I’ve actually tried, this is where it will go.

02Things I want to figure out

GOOD QUESTIONS.
NO SHORTCUTS.

Ideas to explore, not completed experiments or recipes.

OPEN QUESTION01

What gives the broth its depth?

A question to explore, one ingredient and one attempt at a time.

OPEN QUESTION02

What makes the whole bowl work?

Broth, seasoning, noodles, toppings. I want to understand how they fit together.

OPEN QUESTION03

What would I change next time?

A useful note can be as simple as one thing to try differently.

↗An appetite for more

RAMEN FIRST.
THEN, WHO KNOWS?

There’s room at this table for coffee, wine, Scotch and the places I discover them. One good rabbit hole at a time.
