For the last two or three years I have been making my own bagels. It takes me about 3 1/2 hours to make a half dozen bagels, and they cost at least as much as the bagels you can buy in the store.
So, why on Earth would I make them?
Well, for a few weeks life was getting in the way of bagels, you know, cars break down, appliances break down… There just wasn’t time to make bagels.
So I bought some bagels from the supermarket to get by until I could get back to making my own.
Then, one Saturday I sliced open one of my supermarket “Cinnamon and Raisin” bagels and here is what I saw.
Your homework assignment is to count the raisins that you see in that bagel.
Done? I bet it didn’t take long. That’s a cinnamon flavored dinner roll.
Last week I finally found time to make some of my own bagels, and when I sliced one of them open on Saturday, here is what I saw.
I don’t think that I have to give you an assignment on this one. As they say in the song, “One of these things is not like the other.”
I won’t mention the brand of bagels that I found in the supermarket, but it rhymes with “promises”.
