Picture of Concrete à la Meatball
Mix 1 part cement : 2 parts sand. Add 0.5–0.6 water to cement ratio — but slowly, like you’re seducing the mix. You want it thick enough to roll balls, but not so dry it crumbles. Test it: roll a ball. If it stays together, great. If it flattens into a sad pancake, add dry mix. If it explodes into dust, add water. You’ll know when it’s right — it feels like the “wet sand” from your childhood mud pie days.
