Many hotels have a microwave, or at least a kettle for hot water, that you pour in the cup-o-noodles.

the person mentioned bringing instant noodles for plane travel. Did they really bring it with the plan to NOT eat it on the plane?
After the plane ride, why would one need instant noodles when they can eat other quality hotel food?

culvers is great and we enjoy Dairy Queen blizzards. But I’m sure people who only want Ted Drewes Would be fine with mail order just like my getting essa bagels via mail order.

Quality hotel food? Expensive and slow, in many cases. Most of the instant noodles are under a $1 a cup. They make a fairly satisfying meal, and are ready in 5 minutes or so. My wife brings a few on most trips, for when we arrive late at a hotel, or don’t want to spend $20-30 for room service.

Waiting 30-60 minutes for room service, after you’ve been flying for 24+ hours is the last thing we want to do. We’re not spending $1500 a day at a hotel like some.

This. If I've been flying for more than 8-10 hours, I usually don't want to wait for room service.

Marinated chicken, topped with lemon juice and olive oil, then baked and topped with feta cheese, along with green beans seasoned with ranch seasoning and topped with bacon.

Thursday night:
online poker with some friends with amaretto and ...

raw vegetables - carrots, celery, red pepper, cucumber
tortilla chips with pico de gallo

maybe a scone. I now forget.

and now post-sushi luncheon and big Safeway fun, I’m having leftover curry chicken despite plans for supper with my spouse while our child has a movie night:
meatloaf (from grocer)
mashed potatoes (best recipe book suggests russets)
cauliflower ala girl & goat

It was very good. You can top it and bake it with lemon slices, but I see no point, other than some of the feta doesn't get consumed then.

I too want the Reuben. :D

The Reuben was delicious. Or the half of it I ate was. I also got a baker's dozen bagels, so if the bread is too soggy, there is so much corned beef that I can make a normal size sandwich on a bagel tomorrow.

Rump cap (a hugely under-appreciated cut – the Brazilians swear by it) reverse seared with a bit of hickory smoke over it. Served it with roast potatoes and a salad (not pictured lol)
