The cookies I actually could have gotten done in that amount of time since we have the dough Frozen and pre-portioned plus the convection oven heated up fast. But I'm not leaving the desk when I'm the only person there at 10:45 at night. I also needed to get my account and closing paperwork done. I'm totally fine with a banana / milk request if they're polite about it. It was the demanding tone that made me mad. And yes, if you're traveling to the desert or another dry climate and you aren't used to it you do need to bring a humidifier. Also a travel tip: almost anywhere high altitude which includes my beloved city of Denver is going to have dry air. My new hotel actually does keep humidifiers on hand for guests' use it was just the whole "set it up for me" demand that was annoying. Of course we'll do that. You don't have to yell at us about it.

Quoth WishfulSpirit View PostAn electric tea kettle. No I can't use the coffee maker to make hot water for tea. Don't ask me why, I'm a cubic zircon member and that means I can make you buy me stuff.Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart!

When traveling without a humidifier, you can feel a lot better with liberal use of saline spray and chap stick. It's not perfect but it's cheap and portable. I had no idea you could just demand a room at the exact temperature and humidity you request. Will the outside weather change as well?

When I stayed 2 weeks in the US a few years ago I bought an electric kettle (for the princely sum of $12) at the nearest Mart of Wal, and just left it there after I checked out. This was to make plunger coffee and tea.
Why? I want more boiling water at a time than a cup in the microwave can provide. I'm also not a big fan of water boiled in microwaves - if you over-heat it, that 'boil over' thing can be dangerous. A kettle just turns itself off when it's done.

I would assume it's a coffee/tea press?
The most recent jaw-dropping request I heard of came through my brother: He was staying in a nice mom'n'pop hotel in the Tennessee mountains this summer run by a lovely family. He was chatting with the owner while his room was being prepared and the talk drifted round to hunting ... she said she's had hunters get very angry because she wouldn't let them store dead deer in the walk-in cooler that she didn't even have (and if she did, would be so eager to let people shove random filthy carcasses into) and more than one time someone field-dressed deer in her parking lot.
During deer season she can refer them to a service that takes the carcass away and brings you back nicely wrapped cuts of venison, but she's had a few poachers who had a deer carcass they'd taken out of season, and somehow they expected her to accommodate them. Is there anywhere -- outside of a lodge that specifically caters to hunters -- that would?

I've got a stainless steel plunger, although usually they're glass. They're like a jug with a top that has a filter in it, once the coffee or tea has steeped long enough you put the top on and press down. The filter takes all the crunchy bits to the bottom and keeps it there.
I'm a fussy bugger, machine-brewed coffee isn't hot enough for me and I hate the way it tastes. Also it takes a while longer than the plunger. I want my coffee now if not sooner in the morning!
