A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made before coffee

I tried this in Manila with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka.

Appreciate the nuance.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. I am curious whether support still feels good next month.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. My friend tried it in Dublin and had the opposite result.
