In Which I Wake Up Hungry

a. Bagels:

• it's better to have no bagel at all than to suffer through a cinnamon-raisin bagel.
• everything bagels: too much or not enough?
• salt bagels - threat to the pretzel or friend to man?
• Barry Manilow once had a beagle named Bagel.

b. Cream Cheese:

• neither cream nor cheese
• still better than head cheese

c. Orange Juice:

• pulp or pulp-free?
• All juice and juice box products have only nut-free ingredients
• are they kidding me or what?

One of the great vintage treasures that I brought back from the old house in PA is the red plastic carton holder. It was fine for about 8 weeks and then someone in the American Orange Juice cartel got the sinister notion to reduce the size of the package, rendering my carton holder obsolete. And I'm supposed to act like nothing's wrong with that?

What's wrong with cinnamon raisin bagels?

Next you're going to tell me that you don't dunk them in A-1 sauce after you toast them.

RE: nut-free oranges - you have no idea what all manner of food allergies panic the average mommie these days.

i think dad may have married you for the chance to inherit that carton holder.

I inherited a carton holder from my Mom, 16 years ago. Our orange juice cartons still fit in it. It is harvest gold, circa 1975.

It's tough to drink straight from the carton with that holder thingy on there.

Cinnamon raisin bagels are just fine, iffin' you throw down with some strawberry cream cheese. But I prefer onion bagels or poppyseed.

And I'll have my juice pulpless, thank you very much.

Egg everything bagels. Lightly toasted with vegetable cream cheese. And toothpicks, plenty of toothpicks for afterward...
Oh, and pulp. I have this oral texture thing. No wise cracks...
