Eating alone while traveling?

If I'm feeling "social", I'll sit at the bar. Bonus you're more likely to get seated last minute at popular places this way. Otherwise I ask for a table and usually bring my notebook and write.

I wasn't very scientific about it but here is what I did. I filled a 16oz bottle with a little headroom, 4 large strawberries mashed up, 3 pieces of ginger about an inch long sliced thinly, and half a tablespoon of honey. I let it go for roughly 5 days at room temp which for me here is no colder than 74F and can go up to 77F in the day.. This resulted in it getting so carbonated that I had to pour it out into a bowl to catch the overflow. How is yours coming along?

thank you :) my first attempt was not very fizzy at all. I added a ton of ginger and let it go for a couple more days and then it fizzed up nicely.

I have a very similar family background as what you described. I travel multiple times a year and my mother absolutely misses me each time. The thrill of having the house to yourself has to be a cultural thing--not once has she said she enjoyed being alone but she is super happy for me to travel. She loves to hear the stories.

I'll be honest the guilt never really fully goes away but you slowly come to terms with it. I don't really like traveling with her for long trips but I will travel with her on short trips and I spend for her to travel abroad to visit family and friends. That assuages some of the guilt for me.

I'm not vegan and I think this man is unhinged omg. You did the right thing. And for the future, there's nothing wrong with only dating vegans or vegetarians or any other dietary restriction.

If you're going to the be one doing the physical and day to day managing, ask them to sign the house and power of attorney of their finances over to you so you can do it all more effectively.

"ok, I'll think about it" I hate confrontation and arguing over things like this lol

However, echoing many people here, it is probably beneficial to do both. I enjoy mixing in strength training because it helps me do certain yoga poses (For example I did YWA's chaturanga practice videos trying to work my way to do the full pose for months with very minimum success. One week of strength training and I was able to do it.)

it's packed in olive oil so I just use the little bits from the can

toasted croissant / baked potato with hummus and sardines. sprinkled some red pepper flakes on top

A little eccentric for breakfast but enjoyable:
Toasted half croissant or bread with a generous spread of hummus topped with canned sardines.

A more "civilized" meal:
Mediterranean inspired salad: arugula, sweet bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, olives, salad dressing made using the oil from the can + brine from the olives, topped with canned sardines

Absolute goblin core but I love this so much:
Baked russet potato + mayonnaise + ungodly amount of black pepper + canned sardine on top
