My mother knows exactly when curd should be set, where it should be kept, and how long it should be left alone. I learned this after disturbing a carefully planned process and accidentally becoming the day's main problem.

In my mother's house, a temple matchbox and a kitchen matchbox are not interchangeable. I learned this the hard way after one innocent mistake sparked an unexpectedly detailed lesson on order, tradition, and common sense.
