G is for groceries

The hotel that I am staying at in Montreal is comfortable. I love the kitchenette. I tend to get groceries and cook. Of course, there is a downside to staying in the room to cook -- I end up sacrificing some sightseeing time.

Anyway, the hotel is nice to serve both hot and cold breakfast items. I had the scrambled eggs, but they were bland. The sausage patties were fine. The small pancakes were cute, but tasted more like cake. I also had pineapple chunks and lemon tea, which were both fabulous.

Tomorrow, I may just get some fruit and tea, and come back to my room to make myself some breakfast. I have decided to check out a bit later. My guy flies in later that evening, so I don't want too strenuous of a day.

When it comes to food, I like a lot of flavour. I went to IGA, a local grocery store here that used to be in Ontario. I got local Quebecois favourites, such as tourtiere and baked beans. I also got pecan tarts for dessert. They were all delicious.

I will always be a foodie at heart. My guy knows that all too well. He is used to my taking photos of everything I eat. My habit is rubbing off on him. He does that, too!

  1. There are few things more disappointing than a hotel breakfast, lol. Take a picture of the stale bagels and burnt coffee for us!

    1. LOL! There wasn't much to write home about at the hotel breakfast. I changed to a different hotel once my guy arrived and breakfast is much better. =)

  2. Sounds like you've had a good time CB but bet you'll have an even better time when your guy arrives. ;) When I travel, I usually carry a small selection of my favorite dry seasonings with me to liven up the breakfast buffet food. I also travel with candles and other comforts from home...I do like my comfort. :D

    Hugs and blessings...

    1. I should try your suggestion and bring my own seasonings. I tend to bring my own teas, which makes me feel at home. The tea selections at the hotel are pretty good. I like bringing travel candles, too. =)
