I'm the kind of person who can't let it go, so I came back to play again, armed with the 10-point knowledge. But once I got to the first tea scene I discovered that the instructions already told me exactly how the game worked, so you were very patient with me in your reply to my comment, thank you! It took me two or three tries, and I had to refine my technique to put two ingredients in at a time, but I finally did it -- the mayor liked it :). Great job on this!
