A hook and a scrap of paper can do the job just fine.
No drama, which…

[Mending Dumpling]

Exactly, and the ring keeps the list from hiding in a drawer
which is where good intentions go to nap.

That makes sense. In my family the story was always in the pause between the lines. A recipe too, sometimes you learn more from the step…
