I might not know about nuances in the English language, but "ganz klein" means "very little". "Quite small" could also work.
"Completely small" would be "total klein" or "völlig klein".

ok thanks, so definitely not the "completely" meaning then.

So when would you use "sehr klein" instead of "ganz klein"?

Any German speakers want to tell me if my instinct on this is correct?

"Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" is the name of a piece of music by Mozart that was just discovered. (He later titled a piece "Eine kleine Nachtmusik")

The English press about this is translating it as "Very little night music" which seems wrong? I feel like either "Quite small night music" or "Completely small night music" would be more accurate.

When does "ganz" change from "quite" to "completely"? Is it ambiguous here?

@aaronpk I find the same result by making a batch of stew or chili, which I am apparently unable to do at reasonably small scale. I suppose I should buy a small pressure cooker, but it feels like the same effort to make a vat's worth at a time.

It's about two weeks from chili season! I can't wait to make a big batch in the instant pot!

@aaronpk You plan to eat the same stuff for a week? Isn't that boring over time?

I also have a really busy week coming up and I'd really like to not have to think about what I'm going to eat

I'm home alone for the week so I made a giant stack of oat+tofu waffles and giant batch of baked ziti with roasted vegetables so that I have instant breakfast and dinner every day
