What I miss the most..

I promise there is lettuce in there - I just prefer the veggies

I really wish we could cook our own food.  That's probably in my top 3 things I miss about home.  We have a mini fridge and small water heater for tea or soup.  That's it.  We might be in a nice hotel, but it's not set up for extended stay guests.  I *finally* found some half way decent lettuce although I have no idea what kind it is, and some light salad dressing.  Got a few fresh vegetables from the store and the breakfast lounge and put together a salad for lunch.  I was really tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Those who know me well know that I don't even like them, but hey...my options are limited around here.  For all of you at home....  cook a scrumptious meal tonight.....(and again for us when we get back)!

It is a nice change to be able to cook. And I LOVE PB&J's! (london will not eat them WEIRD KID). You know will an iron you can make toasted sandwiches. And with a the boiling tea pots you can boil noodles and warm sauces to make pasta....just saying there are some very creative ways to eat out of a hotel! :D

haha, I know the creative ways and I have fixed noodles in the tea pot before, but since I LOOOVE pasta, I try not to so I don't get in that habit! I've never tried the iron toasted cheese, but I might have to! I just wish we had a microwave!

yeah we have a kitchen, but no microwave....i'm going old school and stove top warming things...actually not that bad!
Oh yes I have made MANY ham/cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches on the iron. My room mate in college would make really good mozzarella cheese, chicken and tomato grilled sandwiches on it! (the trick is thin cheese!)
