‘i’ve said this before, and i’ll say it again.

bagels can be an enormous power for good or evil.

it is up to us to decide how we will use them.’

fun fact: the first printed mention of bagels is found

in the community regulations of kracow, poland, for the year 1610

stating that bagels would be given as a gift to any woman in childbirth.

  7. I am a member of the bagel brigade every day of the year, Beth. I don’t eat them daily, but my car is ready to pull over at the sight of a bagel shop and my shopping cart migrates toward the bagel selection in the supermarket each visit.

  10. Such a clever twist on the painting! When I worked nights in the police in London, one of the patrol cars would go to a 24-hour bagel shop in East London and pick up salt beef bagels. They were my favourites. They spell Beigel correctly too. (On their sign) The shop is still there, but the prices have skyrocketed since 2012! I used to pay £4.50 for two, and they are now £8.15 each! https://www.beigelbake.co.uk/
    Best wishes, Pete.
