Unnecessarily good breakfast sounds like a lot of effort for one meal.

It was a reason to cook together, not proof that elaborate breakfasts are better. I'd keep the parts we enjoyed and simplify the rest (a modest retreat from my breakfast theory).

On “Cook an unnecessarily good breakfast together”, could someone join for only the first part? I would not want to disrupt the plan by leaving early. I need to allow for this: I work some weekends.

That is useful feedback, even if we would choose differently. I want to keep “Cook an unnecessarily good breakfast together” manageable for the people involved. I would plan a natural stopping point and say clearly which parts depend on everybody staying. Leaving should not become a personal explanation.

For this wish, Ethan Brooks: I would also like to reduce food waste with a useful leftovers routine. I have tried making a little space for low-waste cooking; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.

I'd like two friends to join my partner and me for a shared breakfast using a fixed grocery budget. Each person gets one task, and we stop improving the menu when people arrive. A working definition of enough would be useful in my kitchen too.

On “Cook an unnecessarily good breakfast together”, that seems a sensible way to continue. We can compare actual attempts later without turning this conversation into a promise that either of us has already finished.
