Mmmm butter soaked bialy.

I wish I could get bialys here. I've tried once or twice with sad results.

[teaberryblue]

Aw, this is tragic. If I remember, I will bring some to Readercon next year.

[lilycobalt]

I am not familiar with bialys. I can foresee this changing in the near future.

Hooray for a successful experiment!

[teaberryblue]

Yeah, I am discovering that these aren't really a thing outside of New York?

Also that there is a categorization "Jewish Breads" on Wikipedia.

[lilycobalt]

I will happily claim bagels as Jewish Breads.

They used to sell bialys at the Noah's New York Bagels in the town where I went to high school (definitely not New York). That was back when they closed for Passover every year. When the bakery changed owners they stopped closing for Passover and stopped selling bialys.

I toast bagels so the peanut butter melts.

[teaberryblue]

I actually almost said something in the post specifically about how peanut butter qualified as a sandwich for just this reason! Also, peanut butter belongs on crunchy things. I tend to do my peanut butter on english muffins, though.

[beautyofgrey]

Yes, this.

I have to wait at least an hour before I can eat anything. But I do eat breakfast...just not as soon as I wake up. Your breakfast sounds yummy!

[teaberryblue]

Same here-- I can't eat first thing in the morning. But by the time I get to work, I'm plenty able to eat.

I have so many comments

Hi there, and welcome! Do I know you? I see we have a couple friends in common so I wasn't sure if maybe we met somewhere.

1) I remain convinced that most people who want to toast bagels are doing so only because the bagels they had growing up were inedible unless they were toasted. There are reasons for toasting bagels, but then you have a reason and it's not force of habit.

2) That bit about sugar is fascinating. I have always had slightly wonky blood sugar so I wonder if that's what's happening to me.

3) Where are you located? Awesome city things are the best.

4) I can't quiiiiite do protein in the morning. But carbs are a good start!

lo siento!

I almost added a "oh by the way this crazy stalker is soandso" but then deleted it and figured if you cared I was easy enough to figure out. it's Ashley. And I'm mostly just excited that anyone uses livejournal anymore since all my friends who got me hooked as my sharing method of choice have since quit the medium.

ashley as in notjester of course.

I was going to explain where axsister came from, but that is too long and the piece is currently resticted anyway.

[teaberryblue]

Oh hey, awesome! And yeah, I love LJ and am very big on trying to maintain a presence here because it's the best.
