Sometimes life seems like a Petri dish—all these reactions from so many of our ingredients brewing at the same time in the same space, reacting differently under various degrees of pressure, while toxic elements out of our control keep blowing in.
But instead of taking all this stuff personally, I’ve been trying to see myself as a chemist—
to take a look at all these ingredients, figure out what new ingredients I could add to create a less volatile environment, how to lower the pressure, and how to make sure I’ve got a decent filter in place to keep so many contaminants from getting in the mix.
