A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made in Lagos
I tried this in Toronto with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Honestly, great taste. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

I would push back gently on the made part. This pairs weirdly well with ramen.
