Recently made some jam. Was really impressed by how low tech the process was. Just cook some fruits, separate the roughage and branches and seeds, etc. Add sugar and cook it again. I believe you also have to add pectin if the fruit you’re turning into jam doesn’t have a lot of it.

Then bottle the stuff and enjoy it with bread for a long long time!

I'm a huge coffee drinker. Used to have a machine. It broke. Bend using an aeropress and French press for awhile and find that I really don't miss the machine.

Bidet in their many forms are a clear upgrade. I would take a bucket of water & a place to wash my hands over TP.
