Boston 2019 - Part 8 Element Boston Hotel Review

DH's work event was finally over and we were happy to have booked an extra night in Boston. My choice fell on Element Boston Hotel that I booked directly on Mariott Bonvoy app. It was just about a block away from the apartment we were staying at and it was very convenient to move. I checked in to the hotel through the app and it produced a key to my room that would activate via bluetooth. So we rolled our suitcase over and headed to the receptionist because I couldn't find what my room number was. It turned out that it was in the app and I had just missed it.




We went to our room and were quite impressed with the size and with the kitchen in the room! Later on I found out that all Element hotels have kitchen in their rooms. Quite nice, I must say. They provided filtered water right on tap, but strangely water kettle wasn't provided.






Breakfast was included with our stay. They had a modest offering of cereals, oatmeals, eggs, and pancakes. Neither of those were attractive to me. That being said, they had a yoghurt station with greek yogurt and honey with toppings like granolas and fresh berries and I loaded myself up with it. So good!

In the early evening they have an event at the lobby which was wine and beer if I remember correctly, it was a get-together for their guests. Unfortunately we still wanted to go out and explore the area so we had to skip it.







Overall we were happy with our stay and we would recommend this hotel for anyone going to Boston especially if they are attending an event at the convention centre.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
