The thing nobody told me about ingredients in Buenos Aires
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.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Honestly, great taste. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. The cozy part is easy to underestimate.

I am cheering for this update. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The 7-minute rule is underrated.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Mexico City? I would love to see a follow-up after 3 weeks.
