It is a natural instinct to do so when trying to offer help. But the well-seasoned author should learn when to ignore that and trust the story and the readers.

Doesn't matter if they say it's penne or cavatappi or anything else in the description. Only macaroni may be called mac and cheese. Heed the wise example of "shells & cheese." #foodsky03 Sep 2026 03:57 +0000at://did:plc:hler23bdxaddzibl2kxfasvv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mulknkgbyk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/becca.gomezfarrell.com/post/3mul4kepfc22tIt only took me *checks watch* 5 years after moving to Hayward to check out the fried chicken spot a few blocks away....and it was worth the wait!
