Bring less than you think you need

Except for clothes. Less things means less things to track of. You want to be present in the moment on a trip, not worrying if you have everything.

resist acquisition

getting rid of stuff is a lot more complicated than acquiring it. better to practice austerity on the front-end imo.
this goes for anything, btw, not just new clothes or whatever. i also apply this mindset to friends, diseases, habits, sins, beliefs.......

Frying cured meats

Prosciutto, salami, etc. started in a cold pan and left to crisp and render their fat. They shrink up and become crispy and delicate and cheek-puckering in their salinity. Highly recommend accompanying with toasted bread and an over easy egg fried in the oils in the pan.

homemade tartar sauce

It’s way better than what you can buy in shops, and you can make tons to eat with every single bite of fish.
- mayo (I assume yogurt is ok too for healthy ppl but I am lactose intolerant) - finely diced raw onion, can be white or red or shallots - chopped capers (not traditional but they add to the overall sourness/vinegar-ness) - lots of chopped fresh dill and/or parsley - fresh lemon juice - finely diced pickles - salt and pepper
Some people put boiled eggs in tartar sauce but I think that is too much effort for what should be a quick dip.
Measure with your heart and enjoy!
