I used to struggle with picking seasonings too, but here's a strategy that I picked up from the internet somewhere:

  1. Decide which basic flavor(s) you need
  2. Pick an ingredient that will satisfy one or more of those flavors.

Here's a baseline "basic flavors" that should always land you a flavorful meal:

  • heat (eg peppers, wasabe)
  • acid (fruit, vinegar)
  • salt (table salt, soy sauce)
  • fat (butter, bacon grease)

But there's a few others that might come in handy, like:

  • sweet (sugar, honey, fruit, many veggies)
  • mint (thyme, rosemary, basil, black pepper)
  • bitter (grapefruit, many veggies)
  • savory (soy sauce, meats)
  • whatever flavor alliums have (onions, garlic)

Of course, figuring out which basic flavors you need is still a skill to develop, but this two-stage process helped me a lot. Plus, if you're trying to stay traditional, then the second stage where you pick the ingredient may already be chosen for you. Mexican food needs acid? Lime. Italian needs heat? Red pepper flakes. Asian needs salt? Soy sauce.

TL;DR: Don't go straight to choosing ingredients you need, instead choose a basic flavor you need then pick ingredients that will satisfy that flavor.

I wish so bad I was better at telling stories. Not that I have many, but still

I've never owned an auto, only manuals. But there's been a couple times when I drove automatics for friends and family and accidently slammed my left foot into the floor or brake due to muscle memory. The pedals are close together in modern manual cars so you can heal toe, and automatic gas pedals are nearly always wider, because why wouldn't they be?

So yeah, not only do I believe op drives a manual, I bet they do it often enough that when they do drive an auto they have to consciously hold their left foot back. I know I have to. I've been using a clutch too long, my left foot just wants to go.

What does damage is short circuiting the electronics, which water can do.

And corrosion, which water can catalyze, which is why your suggested steps should be done ASAP. Great write up though

This song didn't click with me until I caught it on the radio driving late at night. I dunno what it is, but for some reason those slow bluesy led Zeppelin songs just hit different when night driving.
