We both ordered the same weird thing

Neither of us had ever tried the lamb tartare. We both ordered it without knowing the other had. By the time we realised, we were already mid-conversation about whether instinct means anything.

First friend in a new city, in 57 minutes

I had been in Sydney three weeks and still ate at my desk every day. Fifty-seven minutes later I had a standing Tuesday lunch and someone who knew where the good coffee was.

The best decision I made at 11am on a Tuesday

I locked my flag on a whim. She had done the same. We are now the kind of friends who text at midnight about nothing. It started with a bowl of ramen at noon.

The networking lunch that turned into a co-founder chat

We sat down to talk about what we both did. Forty minutes in we were on a napkin sketching out something we could do together. Second meeting is already in the calendar.

Five years of "we should catch up" ended in a thirty-second walk from my office to hers. We have no idea how we let this drift.

Two strangers, one obsession with fermented foods

The app matched us on food culture. Two hours later we had swapped sourdough starter cultures and planned a trip to a small-batch miso producer in the Blue Mountains.
