I love the juxtaposition of what is so personal with your family medical history with what is (to me) more abstract with cooking. Two different sides of an idea that has similarities if you step back....
Thank you for this. I was baking bread this morning, and visually, it didn't turn out well (it looked "lumpy"), but taste-wise, it was great. So, I was happy. Then I came across your post. I didn't know about the work by René Boer; I'll definitely check it out. I was also reflecting on how, in some traditions, intentional imperfection is considered a part of the design. For instance, in traditional Islamic art, artists deliberately include errors in their work, believing that only the creator is perfect. A similar idea is also present in Japanese Wabi Sabi concept.
Enjoyed this perspective very much.
Thank you!

Uncle Buck said to tell you he liked this as well. Appreciated that you quoted from Richard Sennett....
I can’t resist bringing urban theory into everything

Thanks for sharing those examples out of Islamic art traditions and Wabi Sabi!
