Let me first say that on Tuesday night, we watched Food, Inc.. It was a really well done documentary that looks at where our food comes from. To say that grocery shopping yesterday was a bit of a challenge is an understatement. It was disturbing how much of the produce section came from different countries, let alone different states. So basically, I tormented myself trying to decide if I should buy the red peppers from Israel, or the organic peppers from Mexico. Oy.
Having learned a bit from my first attempt at bagel-making, I decided to forgo the store bough variety and make my own bagels for last night’s sandwiches. This has become an important choice for me, to try to make my own food before purchasing something, especially if that something is normally a processed food. I have to say, the bagels came out quite tasty. The last time I made 8 bagels with the recipe, and this time I made 6. They were much bigger and fatter, and I thought a bit better. To my horror, we were completely out of cream cheese (I know…but now we have a great excuse to visit the local cheese farm on Saturday, so SCORE), and my plan of veggie sandwiches was pretty well dead due to the lack of decent veg at the grocery store, so I cut up one of our last remaining apples (I smell another farm visit on the horizon…) and topped with shredded cheddar and popped them in the toaster oven. I toasted the tops of the bagels, added butter and cinnamon sugar, and there you go. A light and yummy dinner.
And now, I wait patiently for cream cheese.
