A small practice for the missing garnish

Original practice · Optional exercise · The table as a notebook

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A planned garnish is unavailable at serving time.
2. Note what role it was meant to play before choosing an alternative.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
