I once saw a young friend, totally unacquainted with East Coast/Jewish tradition, cut bagels in three - top third, bottom third, and a kind of bagel chip from the middle. I guess he'd seen bagel "chips" in the store so he hypothesized.
Luckily he was corrected before a foofooraw occurred in the Con Suite, but it was close.
I can only imagine how many more times I would slice a thumb if I tried to cut bagels like that all the time.
Sleeping would be so much better than being at work.
Seriously, msbelle. It has been a fight this morning NOT to close my eyes and nap. One of the dangers of teleworking.
Just sold my pile of puzzles. The moving kitty is growing. Now if only the guitar, bar stools, coffee table, and huge pile of party light candles would sell.
The half-bagels (initially typed beagles) are half-height bagels split in half. Half the carbs, so I can have bagels again.
Sleeping would be so much better than being at work.
Truth!
Glad I asked, Connie, that is not what I was picturing. And cool.
Connie, are they like these: [link] (I'm having a hard time picturing stuff today. My brain appears to have a software malfunction.)
Exactly, precisely like those, Teppy. If they only came in onion.
Sleeping would be so much better than being at work.
So very true. My sister is sitting in her chair snoring and my son arose at 11:45. So hard to be the working responsible adult here. And yet.
I woke up with an extreme case of the Do Not Wannas. I eventually hauled myself out of bed and went to work, but now I'm rubbing my temples and trying not to make a blanket statement about people with follow up questions being of the devil. Because they aren't, but sometimes it feels like I'm being followed around at work by a pack of yappy dogs.
