I'm amazed when someone assumes others must eat out every meal if they don't have the ability to broil a roast in their home. Though I shouldn't be amazed - the inability of people to understand lives that work differently then their own seems widespread.

Broil a roast? Now you've really lost me.

It was a turn of phrase, most people would understand the meaning easily.

You said without a kitchen, not without an oven. If you have a fridge and a range, you have a kitchen.
