I was supposed to meet my uncle for dinner tonight but he is running late and won't be here for at least another hour and a half. I'm hungry now and I have some leftover chinese food from last night that I kept in the fridge in my room.

There is no microwave in the hotel that I have access to. I'm trying to think of creative ways to heat this stuff up. I have an iron, a hair dryer, and a coffee maker. What do you think?

Maybe try phoning the front desk and see if you could borrow their kitchen's microwave.
Or perhaps you could put it in their dryer!!!

...a bit more than folgers in your cup..

Is there a nearby convenient store? Run in and use their microwave
but you might want to buy a drink or something so they wouldn't get mad.

You guys crack me up...


so this is what I tried to do. I heated water in the coffee pot and poured it into the ice bucket. I then took the box of chinese food and dipped it in the hot water. It heated it up a little bit but I gave up and just threw the stuff away. It's on my company's dime anyway. LOL
