What pastry did I eat?

In my sleep deprived excitement, I didn't take a picture of what I bought, but it was delicious! I cribbed this picture, from Google. Can anyone identify the pastry, on the right? It was 7am and I'd had little sleep. I picked up my rental and made my way immediately to Sigurjónsbakarí. Well, not immediately, I paused to practice my stick shift driving in the closed Kronan parking lot first. I'd scoped out the bakery before arriving. It ticked three boxes: breakfast/pastries, close by, so I could practice driving in the slower Keflavík area, and the name is almost identical to a friend's name, so obviously I had to take pictures.

Edit: it was a thin, flakey pasty, folded over a filling. Maybe 3/4 inch thick in total. The top had nuts (almonds?), powdered sugar and the stripes of pink and chocolate icing on one side.

Your Airpods?

Found on the platform, at Dulles. Left with the station manager by the exit gates to the airport terminal. BTW, it's only the right pod the case.

Pockets!

I read a few posts, but didn't really find anything I wanted. Does anyone have a lighter weight jacket/sweater/hoodie with an abundance of pockets. Maybe something girly? Scott-E-Vest doesn't really look like me. I bought a Comfrt hoodie and it is very soft, with good pockets, but insanely bulky, like it still takes up half my bag, after vacuum compression.

Shakshouka!

Why didn't I think of this sooner? I wanted Shakshouka this morning. A few minutes into prep, a lightbulb went off, so I tripled up everything. Triple was as much as I could do with what I had on hand. Now I have cubes, in the freezer for more batches. I figure I'll thaw a cube, or two, in a saucepan, with a splash of water, before cracking in my eggs. I don't use any set recipe for my sauce, just onion, garlic, tomatoes (fresh, canned, whole, crushed, or I've even used jarred pasta sauce), sometimes parsley, sometimes kale or spinach, sometimes all three.

Is anyone else going to miss C1 dining?

I definitely will. I've gotten reservations that I wouldn't have otherwise. I just watched a CNBC story about how Chase and AMEX are working hard to build cardholder perks, outside of airports, like attendee perks at sporting events and music festivals. It made me think how Vx could step it up, in some way. Having dining reservation exclusives was one way that seems a lot lower cost than building a giant pavilion at Coachella.

Anyone else having app issues?

My Delta app is useless right now. Ever since I upgraded to a Pixel 10 XP. I get this message when I try biometrics, regular login, or "continue as a guest." I've uninstalled and reinstalled too.

Unable to book Hertz through C1 travel app.

I'm trying to rent a car at Dulles, for later in the year. I want to use Hertz, for the upgrade perks and the C1 travel portal, for the 10x miles. When I try to book, through C1, Hertz is not one of the rental brands offered. Looking directly at Hertz app shows plenty of availability. Any ideas on how to make this booking through C1?
