Chicken sausages, smoked mackerel, scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls in green pesto, roasted potatoes, diced pineapple, orange juice and red fruit herbal tea. I passed on the sugary pastries that I love by eating all the other stuff first. I was too full to even look at the fun unhealthy stuff. Besides, I had to get back to my room, collect my stuff, check out, walk through the pouring rain to the Métro stop, change once, get up to the Gare du Nord, and find my train up to Sprout City. There wasn’t time for more breakfast even if I felt like indulging in a little gluttony.

Just as well. I had lots to do in Sprout City, and, due to the GDL train strike in Germany, I had to leave an hour earlier than planned.

Only three Marriotts that I can think of offhand: Paris, Brussels and Frankfurt, though I don’t often stay at them elsewhere. Even those three usually offer smoked salmon. Mackerel maybe once a week, and I think it’s at random which day of the week that will be.

Full disclosure: I did bring a 100 gram bar of a Catalan specialty with me in case the evening trip home to Düsseldorf got delayed: white chocolate (xocolat blanc) with ground bits of dried passion fruit fused in it.

and now finishing my black coffee

I avoid about 30 grams of carbs by trimming the portion size and using unsweetened almond milk.

I've been reading the House Ethics Committee report on George Santos. Bum Rush posted it just a short time ago.
