Best Bagels

Yesterday was lovely unlike today (but I admit that today's rainy weather is definitely much less intimidating as it provides ample excuse for an unproductive monday). So it was necessary that I go out of doors to get myself a good (free) dosage of vitamin D.

It's been a long time since I've had bagels, and my boyfriend (being the foodie that he is) decided we should go to a bagel shop to get ourselves some snobbishly good bagels. We decided to go to Seigel's. It was a small little store with nothing but bagels.

My boyfriend, who has no training in weight watchers or other forms of portion control diet, decided that we should get a dozen bagels so that we can munch on them during our walk and still have some leftover for the next day.

A few blocks and Starbuck's Tazo Earl Greys (which is disappointing as always) we had finished about half the bagels.

That's right. We finished six deliciously addictive bagels with salmon and garlic cream cheese. Justifiably we had quite the long walk since we went from Granville & Broadway down to the seawall, then went all the way along the seawall, then back up to Alma & Broadway and walked the whole way back to Granville.

By the time we got back home, we were all bageled out. So we had two more and now our "dozen bagel bag" looks hopelessly sad on the counter.

I guess this means we should finish these last four today.

Anyway, I don't know what my point is. I think I am just trying to give you a warning about bagels and how they can foil any dietary plans (especially ones that try to keep your carbs down) because they are hopelessly addictive (especially if you get them from Seigel's and not the supermarket).

I'm just going to roll over and eat these other bagels before I start my day. Happy Monday, everyone.

Yummmmm! I'll have to check this place out :) Do they make bagel sandwiches as well? When I clicked on the link you provided, I saw what looked like a huge corned beef sandwich and I started to salivate LOL. I'll have to check it out soon!

Oh they make bagel sandwiches! There were quite a few people eating those at the bagel shop.
