Yeah- but only when it comes to salt. And spices. That’s really the only time I feel confident about how much is enough. No measuring spoons. No counting pinches. Just gut. And it works. Mostly.
Outside the kitchen, though? That instinct muscle feels weak. Like I never really used it, so it just… atrophied. Maybe I didn’t know what to listen for. Maybe I did listen, and it was wrong. Or both. I’m not sure which one outweighed the other. But here we are.
I’ve been logical most of my life. Decisions made with reason. Except in the love department- that’s where logic took a back seat. And let’s just say, the results were mixed.
Still, I don’t think gut feeling has been a weakness. It’s just underused. Maybe misinterpreted. Maybe ignored. But not broken.
So for now, I trust it with salt. Give it a little space. A little seasoning. And maybe over time, I’ll learn to trust it with more than just dinner.
