So I'm in san Francisco this week.

And yes I visited Alcatraz.

I saw the Golden Gate Bridge and I rode around on one of those busses where they have no roofs and it's freezing.

They gave us blankets though.

So that's a plus.

But as my trips coming to an end I thought I'd make a slightly different video this week because no matter where I go in the world and no matter how beautiful the city is, I miss home cooked food unfortunately.

However, I'm always in a hotel room fortunately however, I'm also a little bit crazy.

So I have a solution to this.

So welcome to cooking in a hotel room with Natalie.

I wish that.

Right who likes porridge?

I do And it's very hard to find everywhere you go.

So I bought one of these at the start of my trip and it became very helpful.

This is your average instant coffee maker.

I don't drink coffee, I didn't know what they were for but now I do to make porridge.

All you need is a coffee maker, packs of instant oatmeal, a tea bag.

I use berry tea and some water.

Let's get started.

So we're going to empty our packets of oatmeal into the jug part.

Place that on the warming plate, we place the tea bag in there and then we pull the water in, we turn it on and see what happens and cool.

Don't forget to stir it.

That that is a bowl of porridge and guess how it tastes pretty bad.

Not as good if you cooked it at home but you know, it's home cooked sort of, if your mom cooks porridge for you in a coffee pot and if porridge isn't your instant coffee maker, cup of tea, that was a joke.

That would have worked a lot better.

Then maybe you would like some bacon and eggs which you can make if you just have aluminum foil, some eggs, some bacon and iron.

Oh, this is asleep.

No, So to cook the bacon, I recommend that you turn off the steam and have it on cotton setting because we all know that cotton is latin for bacon.

We need to fold the foil over a couple of times.

Let's just cook two rushes of bacon for now smells good.

We very much want to protect the iron because if you damage an iron.

Bacon, I don't even know how you're going to explain that you make sure that the bacon is securely holding in any potential leaking of juices that may occur And then we proceed to cook, you can hear the bacon cooking or as I like to call it, the danger rising.

The people next door, get really freaked out when they hear this one and just to confuse them.

Ah Voila bacon, let's cook the eggs.

So boiled eggs into our handy coffee maker.

Very simple, fill this baby up with water.

They'll only be soft boiled eggs.

Unfortunately the water doesn't boil in a coffee maker.

But hey, I like my eggs soft, You can also make a delicious sunny side up eggs using the average iron as well.

All you need to do again is make an aluminum foil tray and then crack your egg on top egg is almost done.

And of course there is nothing more important about a meal than its presentation.

So we're going to lay out our food here, place my soft boiled egg from before and there.

You have it, a home cooked meal in a hotel room if you eat off oil Cuttery at home.
