Lifestyle: eating in a hotel room w/o a kitchenette

Self-tutoring about life on the road: the tutor mentions a habit he’s learned.

Sometimes I go away to work, so live in Parksville or Nanaimo for a week. Some of those weeks I live in a hotel room with a microwave and mini-fridge, but no stovetop. What do I eat?

Dip and bread has become a meal two to four nights of such a week. The dips I get are typically hummus and tzatziki, or sometimes spinach dip. When I’m thin I buy French bread; other times I buy a loaf of whole wheat.

Even with my appetite — in such context I usually haven’t had lunch — I can’t polish off the whole loaf of bread or the dips. I end up with about half of each left, so I refrigerate the dips for next night’s meal.

What’s nice about this dinner is that, from the hummus, I also get my veggies.

I’ll be sharing more about living on the road:)
