Hotel, Ah Sweet Hotels

I can almost positively tell you that if my husband ever comes to me and says, "I got a hotel for the weekend!" I will not be excited. Even if it's in Maui or the Colorado Mountains. If you ask "Why?", you obviously don't know me. I stopped counting how long I've been in hotels when the year mark for being in ONE hotel hit. I figured it was torture to continue counting.

Anyway, being in hotels has taught me many things. More patience, for one. Have you ever had to cook on a hotel stove top? Let me share a picture of my stove top at the new hotel. It's fantastic.
                                      

See how it's crooked? Yeah, try cooking rice or anything in that. It's a challenge. And I know you are going to tell me how to fix it. I've tried. I've given up. I've had these kinds of stove tops for years and years, I can't fix it.

My horrible cooking situation leads me to what I've done today. Since I can't bake and have to be very very creative with cooking without an oven, I occasionally look at a few websites that make me jealous and make me dream of the day when I will have an oven to make red velvet cake in. Or chocolate peanut butter brownies. Or fresh chocolate chip cookies. I swear, once I get an oven, if you live near me you will be getting baked goods all the time! Until you are so sick of them you'll beg me to stop baking!!

Okay, I'm getting carried away. I wanted to share these sites with you to enjoy looking at and heck you can go ahead and make the amazing recipies. Just don't tell me how amazingly wonderful it turned out. Lie and tell me they all burned.
