a whole post about bagels

i decided to divert my attention to something a little more lighthearted.
(BAGELS)... all of these thoughts are based on personal experience and memory.

ways to eat:
1. plain, nothing on top, both sides together
2. plain, separated
3. together as a sandwich perhaps with toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, meat
4. together or separate with different kinds of spreads like strawberry, chive&onion, or vegetable spread
5. with soup as your bread
6. eaten as breakfast, lunch, or dinner (or in my case for all 3 almost everyday)
7. dipped, battered, and fried with sugar or just butter
8. plain with sugar or seasoning on top
9. sandwich style with seasoning on top
10. toasted, grilled or baked
11. toasted, grilled or baked with spread such as peanut butter or cream cheese
12. broken, served at parties
13. broken, dipped in any dip like chips are or in dressing like ranch, caesar
14. served with fruit and whipped cream on top

types of bagels:
1. tomato basil based
2. plain, white
3. plain, whole grain-wheat
4. strawberry
5. blueberry
6. cinnamon raisin
7. buttermilk
8. reduced fat for any
9. cracked pepper
10. banana nut
11. chopped onion
12. poppyseed
13. lemon pepper coating
14. garlic
15. honey wheat
16. egg
17. sesame seed
18. any other seeded bagel you can think of can probably be found somewhere in the world

my list of recommended bagels:
1. tomato basil with vegetable spread
2. garlic with parmesan topping or plain with garlic parmesan seasoning
3. banana nut or honey wheat with nutella
4. toasted cinnamon raisin with butter and extra cinnamon
5. i hear the salad bagel is good: plain with dressing and lettuce on top

if you can't already tell, i.love.bagels.
