Usual breakfast and the rest of the meals were leftovers.  I tried a different wick for my expedient Altoids tin oil lamp.  Couldn’t find any cotton cordage so I cut off a thin strip of jeans denim.  It did work better but the flame is still burning way more of the wick than the oil.  Dies out too quickly.  I actually tried rolled bits of paper towel…soaked in bacon grease and one soaked in olive oil.  That was the longest lasting flame…paper towel.  Wasn’t in the Altoids tin…only on a disposable pie tin for experimenting.  Hmmm…
