The key ingredient
I’ve said for the last five years that patience is not my strong suit and today when I was speaking to a man who is Thai and I told him Thai is one of my favorite foods and asked him if he cooks.
He said “Poorly.”
I asked if his mother cooks.
He said “Yes.”
I asked can she teach you?
He said, “There’s a secret ingredient I don’t have.”
What is it? I asked.
“Patience,” he said.
