1. Rebecca at Beach Bum Bakery knows that my favorite of all bagels is the cinnamon raisin bagel. In fact, some of you who are longtime readers of this blog might remember that in the early days of Beach Bum Bakery, I politely suggested or requested that Rebecca start baking the cinnamon raisin bagel.
And she did.
Now, the cinnamon raisin bagel is a bit more difficult to make than the everything, sesame, or plain, but when Rebecca decides to bake a batch of cinnamon raisin, she always lets me know.
She had a batch ready to go today!
So I drove uptown to 311 South Main and bought this batch -- I think it was eight bagels -- brought them home, halved them, and froze most of them, except for the one I held out for Friday morning.
I slice the Beach Bum Bakery bagels in half because they are bigger than most bagels and a half a one is close to being the same amount of bagel as either store bought ones or ones I've eaten over the many many years from other bagel bakeries.
And Beach Bum Bakery bagels are organic!
After dinner, I could not longer resist -- I changed my plan to wait until morning to try a bagel from this batch and I savored a half of a cinnamon raisin bagel.
Wow!
That one half raisin cinnamon bagel brought back all the great pleasure and uplift of spirit I enjoy so much when eating one of these bagels!
I'm really happy that Beach Bum Bakery has made the transition into its shop in uptown Kellogg and is back in business again and that their bagels, all of them, will once again provide great taste and texture and good nutrition to my daily life.
2. Christy, Carol, and I piled into Christy's Sube and we rocketed out to Timbers Roadhouse in Cataldo and met lifelong friend Jeff (to me and my siblings he'll always be Ted or Teddy) Turnbow and his husband Marcos for a fun and fascinating lunch. Ted and Marcos were up from their home in Las Vegas, relaxing in North Idaho.
We talked about a lot of things and I enjoyed every subject, and, I admit, I was especially happy to learn more about Marcos' studies as a pre-med student and to find out, through our conversation, what a deep understanding he has of transplantation and life after transplant. Usually, when this subject comes up, I'm the one who explains things. Not with Marcos! We were on the same page in our understanding and he told me about what researchers are working on as the field of transplantation continues to develop. Fascinating!
3. On Wednesday, Debbie discovered our front right headlight was out on the Sube.
After lunch, having made an appointment at Silver Valley Tires, I dropped by and the fellas there fixed it.
I liked getting that job done right away.
