The world is not golf, and most of it isn’t even tennis. In the most devilishly wicked learning environments, experience will reinforce the exact wrong lessons. In wicked domains, the rules of the game are often unclear or incomplete, there may or may not be repetitive patterns and they may not be obvious, and feedback is often delayed, inaccurate, or both. The learning environment is kind because a learner improves simply by engaging in the activity and trying to do better. That is the very definition of deliberate practice, the type identified with both the ten-thousand-hours rule and the rush to early specialization in technical training.

What I suggest is that you buy a decent stock of the stuff (along with farro, and any other more recondite pasta shapes you might be hankering after) in one go, so that you always have the wherewithal to hand. ![]() ![]() This is not an insurmountable obstacle, of course. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of all, there are recipes of Sephardic Jews in this book.
