In the Windy City's downtown, everything's expensive. That's why I got groceries as soon as I arrived to make my own meals. Chicago's notorious for charging steep prices. So too are their hotels. On my first day at the AWMA conference, I decided to partake in the breakfast buffet at the Hyatt. During a luxurious meal, I thought to myself "how wonderful that this conference includes breakfast!" And then I was approached by a waiter with a $26 bill.
So, the plan for the week: get groceries, cook my own food--in the hotel!
Edit (commentary from the video):
I've accomplished hardboiled and poached eggs.
Eggs were microwaved for about 4 minutes. The orange had no effect on the flavor. I had concerns about sparking, so I added orange peels to the mix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrY0aC...
The concerns about sparks came from rusty memory having read this: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/...
I didn't have time to do the toast the next day. I don't adapt to professional conference schedules as quickly as I hope sometimes...
