Mmm... ham, cream cheese, and strawberry jam...

Stayed at the recently renovated Hilton Hartford this weekend with the girlfriend. Overall we were very pleased; the renovations are stylish and the room was comfortable. Our only real complaint was the (audible from the 12th floor) jackhammering in the parking garage at 8am Sunday morning, but the hotel was nice enough to refund us $20 for the annoyance.

The highlight was breakfast at Morty and Ming's. I had a grilled sandwich of straberry jam, grilled ham, and about a half-inch thick spread of cream cheese. Sinfully good, though it probably doesn't sound that way! She had blueberry pancakes with vanilla butter, also delightful. The hashbrowns on the side—shredded potato, the only way to do it right, crisped to golden perfection with onions and scalions—were the best I can recall.

Just enough energy to survive a trip through the New Haven Ikea...
