totally agree, sometimes the best things come from taking a risk and stepping out of our comfort zones - and I'm sure your positive energy put into that recipe made all the difference
i tried that recipe too and it was such a disaster. like how do they make it look so easy on the gram? guess i'm just destined to be a terrible cook forever.
that doesn't sound right at all. i bet that recipe was just average, nothing special. there's no way it could have been a "total hit" - you're probably just trying to hype it up.
to be pedantic, i doubt that was a "hit" if you were surprised by how good it turned out. sounds more like an average recipe that exceeded your low expectations.
totally agree, especially when they say it's easy to make, it's usually because they've left out a step that takes all the hassle out of it, what's the recipe you tried?
sounds like you're trying to humble brag about your cooking skills there, buddy. next time, just say your food tastes like cardboard and people will be impressed when it's actually good.
