Three!

[Ginny]

We survived Kroger.

…and the storms have arrived.

[John G.]

I don’t eat a lot of bagels because of the carbs. And because I live in tortilla land, the bagels aren’t great. But I love savory bagels when they’re good, toasted or un.

Lox and cream cheese with red onion and capers are my favorite fillings. I also like just cream cheese. In the summer, a few slices of cucumber with cream cheese on a onion bagel is like deconstructed Benedictine. A fried egg can be wonderful with or without fried ham or bacon.

The bagel and lox I had last week had cream cheese, tomato, capers, ad onion, and I'm strill dreaming of another.  It had just the right amount of cream cheese. Some places smother everything under too much.

I like good, firm tomato. We were talking tomato and onion sandwiches the other day. Would be good on a toasted bagel with butter. Gimme.

After the competition.

A clear victory for Mr. Depp on all three counts. She got a token on one count based on a statement not made by Depp but by his then lawyer in the Daily Mail.

Got the small important envelope, but not the IMPORTANT envelope, which of course causes me stress. They'd JUST gotten today's mail in, so I'll call at two and see if it came in and if it did, I'll go back and get it and go cash it. Holidays always screw the mail up.

Getting hungry reading these various and sundried posts.

Are people still experiencing the great American cream cheese shortage?

[Jrand73]

Envelope vibes for MR BK.

DR JOHN G thanks for the alternate ending report for Born To Be Bad.....

[singdaw]

Still on hold....

I know cats are quixotic but I am rather worried about Thatch. He 's spent the day hiding under my bed, and he's not coming when I call him. I haven't been able to lure him out for dinner  or treat. I hope he's okay.

Important envelope arrived, got it, did my banking, and am back home.

At the mail place was what looked to me like a high school girl and her two friends. This girl had her pants so low that you could seen the entirety of her lace, black thong underwear. The fact that this moron thinks that's attractive, or that her PARENTS would let her dress in public like that is just so indicative of how far taste and the world has fallen.

Still on hold....

Me waiting to be seen at the care clinic.

Happy anniversary to Jane and Keith -- known in this household as the people we didn't visit in Oregon years ago.

Question for BK, and for anyone else to whom it applies:

As a pretty regular eater of bagels, I'm curious to know how you like them. For example:  what type of bagel is the favorite, do you usually have them toasted or non-toasted, and what do you routinely put on them, spread-wise or otherwise?

I love bagels, but I'm very inconsistent in having them. I just happen to be on a binge right now (starting with BK's and DR Elmore's posts about the wonderful lox & bagels enjoyed over the weekend), which is why the question popped up.

I like plain, sesame seed, poppy seed, everything, cheese...as far as I can remember, those are probably the kinds that I've had. 

[George]

I like them toasted, but not toasted is okay.

[George]

And mostly, cream cheese is my spread of choice.  But a plain bagel with peanut butter and a glass of milk is a pretty good combo, too.

[George]

Lox are not an option for me.

[George]

[John G.]

A pox on lox, George?

[John G.]

Well, my doctor at the emergency clinic prescribed three treatments, an antibiotic and I think two creams.

He didn’t really do anything but look at it and grimace.

[John G.]

I’m having a good salad for dinner topped with grilled chicken and griddled mushrooms and onions.

[John G.]

Another mass shooting. This time in Tulsa. Four dead.

[John G.]

I’m enjoying the Jane Austen biography so much, I want to reread the novels.

[John G.]

But first I will listen to The Murder of Mr. Wickham.

[John G.]

Shall we ever get off this page?

[John G.]

Four is all the rage!

[John G.]

What else is there to assuage?

That bird in the cage
