Fresh Start!

My name is Nancy and i travel the world for work 7 months out of the year. Which means i am mostly living out of a suitcase and in hotel rooms. When I'm home I love to cook and buy fresh produce at the local farmers market. Over the past year, I have incorporated my love of cooking with local ingredients anywhere i was lucky enough to find a kitchen. This year i decided to bring my own luck and bring the kitchen with me. Armed with a hot plate, wooden spoon and a pan, my mission is to create a home cooked meal, in my hotel room.
I decided to do a test run, to first see how hot the pan could get, and everyone knows you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs first... So I started by boiling eggs, my first problem was that the water didn't come to a complete boil. not knowing how this could affect my eggs, i let it sit there little longer the usual and it worked. my eggs were completely done. So next i tried my stir-fry from Tesco super market. Because of my heating issues it took a little longer but Voila it worked. I am really excited to try more daring cooking from now on.
