We put all the ingredients in the cooker, plugged it into the wall.and all the power went out! Uh oh. After laboring for way too long over cutting onions and peppers with a dull butter knife on a soggy tour guide that got shredded paper on everything, it was finally time to plug in the rice cooker and make everything worth it. Some people probably would have given up at this point and said it wasn't worth it.

It was the most scrappy sad kitchen setup probably ever. Wait.we don't have anything to cut stuff on so then we had to be even more resourceful, and use a tour guide coupon booklet they gave us as a makeshift cutting board. We got back to the room without being caught.because we're master heist planners, but noticed. It's probably a bit of a time saver for them because it's one less dish to clean.


Because taking that butter knife was enough to make me break into a nervous sweat and literally no one cared if it was gone. I don't know how people can rob banks and jewelry stores, dude. Uhh, what if we sharpen our credit cards? So we ended up going down to the Lobby and stealing a butter knife. So there were two problems at all: first of all, what are we going to do with all this produce without a fridge? And second, how are we going to prepare it? We started trying to get innovative and think of things in the room we could cut produce with. There wasn't a fridge, there wasn't water, we didn't have a chair, the freaking shower didn't even have a door to it. We picked up a few groceries and when we got back to the room.we realized the hotel didn't give us anything. So to try and save money and think ahead, I decided to buy a travel rice cooker to be able to make some quick meals in the hotel room in case we can't find food some time during the trip. Now here's the story that will live on in infamy: The rice cooker incident. What-what are you even trying to communicate here? It looks like a two-year-old just smacked a keyboard a bunch of times. It looks just enough like English at a quick glance, but then you stop and try to read it and it's like, wait. Dutch is probably, to an English speaker, one of the weirdest languages to look at. And it didn't help that everything was in a language that we didn't understand. We were so hungry that when we got something to eat, it was, like, the friggin' best thing we've ever and will ever have in our lives, even though it was just a dumb bagel. Things were dizzy, our brains didn't work, everything was hilarious. Every emotion is, like, exponentially enhanced, we were tired. So we got to Amsterdam after a long flight, and you know I never really understood jet lag.until then. It was the one that gives you a random assortment of letters and you have to make all the words you can out of them. One of which included Tim being a nerd and hacking one of the little airport app games with the program he made on his computer to cheat and give him all the answers. On our flight, there were a bunch of funny things we entertained ourselves with. It was the first time we met IRL, and he's super cool.and tall.he's really tall, for a marshmallow.
