I only made 2 or 3 goofs like this in my early 20s until I learned that swapping stuff around is a FAFO activity. I will change up the amount of ingredients after a successful first recipe.

More specifically, make sure you know WHY an ingredient is there and what it's providing before trying substitutes, because different substitutes work for different reasons.

But like a Canadian Youtube mechanic once said ..... 'If you don't fuck around, how are you ever going to find out?"

I guess learning from other people's mistakes is off the table, eh?

He's not a very bright mechanic .... but he does get things to work ... most of the time
