Ever cook in your hotel room?

[MoonFaerie]

I can't believe you are the only one who posted that remembers this! That was a thread that should be in the top 10 ever of memorable Disboard threads.

So before anyone else suggest a crockpot or rice cooker (I swear I'm not picking on anyone that has) don't. This was a VERY heated thread. Bottom line: If you can afford Disney, you can afford to spring for a birthday cake at Goodings when you get there. Don't feel like anyone has given you fair warning. The OP was flamed like there was no tomorrow. Sorry to be dramatic with the font, but I felt that post deserved it!

Ok, well I wasn't seriously suggesting bringing a rice cooker. Just saying you can make a cake in one. The idea of doing that is laughable to me. I'd spend more buying a rice cooker than I would picking up at cake at Wal-Mart anyway. I'm definitely in the splurge while on vacation group.

I've had a steamed cake when I was in Chinatown. The texture is quite off-putting, especially when you aren't expecting it. It's the spongy texture of the steamed roast pork buns, but not like a regular sponge cake.

I don't have a rice cooker, and I've never heard of that. Crockpot yes, I believe I tried that a couple of years ago (I'm sure someone on the Dis talked about it).

There are some strange people out there who would rather cut a few dollars off the food budget by doing weird things like that. I missed the great Creamed Corn (or was it canned Corn) thread, it was before my time on the Dis. But from what I understand, someone here witnessed a family sitting on the curb on Main St eating out of a can of corn. Disers still mention it once in awhile. Hate I missed it.

I am starting to rethink my stance on all this cooking in the hotel room. After all - all these years I have been paying for all these appliances while on vaction and never using them fully.

I think in Dec I will skip past my full kitchen and go straight for the big jacuzzi and throw myself a party. I am wondering if I can pull off a clam bake in there - or perhaps a full pig roast would be better? There's plenty of palm leaves about that I can soak and use to steam with and I am sure I can find some charcoal. Hmmm...

Also with the dryer I could make air popped pop corn for probably 20-30 people. I could pop then give it a whirl in the spin cycle of the washer with some melted butter. I will melt it with the hair dryer of course.

Since we have a 2 bedroom we will have 2 irons. SCORE!!!!! I will have duel panini lines. One side for us meat lovers and the other side for veggie peeps.

Who's in?? Pot luck by the way so since I am short on vegetables I expect everybody to show up with their room coffee pots full of heated up delights that will round out my meal.

OMFreakingG!! I would be so pissed ~ SO PISSED ~ if I was in a room next to, or above Mr Cabbage Man. WOW!

I have to walk six miles (not really...but it feels like it, when I'm groggy in the morning) to a smoking section, as to not bother anyone with my "offensive" smoke, but people are cooking CABBAGE ROLLS IN THEIR ROOM, in a CROCK POT that simmers ALL FLIPPING DAY??!? Crazy. Nuts.

You only say it's nuts because you don't know the power of the cabbage roll cooked to perfection in a Disney motel room. I tell you what after you get done with your smoke, BTW cabbage rolls never caused lung cancer or emphysema, you knock on my door and maybe, just maybe, you might get one. You have to be nice though. Frowny faces and sour attitudes means empty stomachs.












Disclaimer this post is for humor purposes only. At no time were any cabbage rolls made or harmed in a Disney value room. The author does not recommend or condone cooking cabbage rolls, grilled cheese, or quesadillas, with an iron, hair dryer, or crock pot. Panty hose optional.

Well since I do not cook in my bathroom or bedroom at home I am not going to rent a hotel room so I can pay for that privilege. Gross. If I cannot afford to eat while on vacation then I will save more money while I am at home. I also don't bring a pack of rolls with me like I have seen mentioned on the budget board. I will get stuff that is easy to eat like pop tarts or snacks like chips and fruit because I like to relax and have a snack at night but that is it. No housekeeping and no cooking on vacation!

Yup, my thoughts exactly.

Hmm, I wonder if you could get the Jacuzzi temp hot enough to boil ramen noodles? And having 2 irons will be of great use. Maybe I should bring my own iron next time so I can have 2.
Keep these ideas coming. I'm going to print them out for my next trip.

We will have to do the soup in the other bath tub.

I didn't forget that. If we put the noodles in when the pig is done, they will have a nice pork flavor AND a sidedish that perfectly compliments the pig.

Not talking cold sandwiches or cereal. I mean cook as in crock pot and/or using the iron to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

Never used the iron for any cooking or brought a crock pot. The rooms that have a fridge and microwave I might reheat leftovers but no real cooking.

Why do you have a uterus for your avatar? Not really approriate for a family friendly where children could be reading.

I'm sad I missed that. I have so many questions.
1. Did they carry a can opener then?
2. Did they just drain the corn on the sidewalk or did that count as the drink with the meal?
3. Cold corn? Although I guess in the summer, a can sitting out in the sun on top of a stroller all day would probably get pretty warm.
4. What about utensils?
5. One can? Did they just pass it around? Those mini cans would have been much easier. Everyone could have their own.

What do you think my DH would say if I told him I'm canceling our anniversary dinner at V&A to eat a can of corn instead?

What's inappropriate about it? Unless you've taught your child about what uteri look like, how would they know what it is?

I didn't even know what it was It looks like the Aries symbol. But now I think it's not a uterus. It's a SUPER uterus. Much cooler.

A child... no, EVERYONE, should be thankful for the uterus, without which, none of us would be here to be offended by it!

Seriously, with some of the crap posted here, the Super Uterus should be the least of your concerns!

No different than having a heart or brain as her avatar.

Ya know, in some societies they eat the... Nevermind. They eat it raw. This is a cooking thread.
