Is there anything worse than a hot day in Eureka? Well, yeah, a hot day in South Carolina, but locally…I have all my windows closed tight to keep the heat out. Never did that before..
I have company coming to town this week so will not have our Short Ribs (which ARE on sale at Safeway thru Tuesday @ $3.99) and which I have to skip because the fridge is too crammed. However, I just learned that Frankie’s Bagels has new hours, those being Wed, Sat, Sun from 8am to Noon. Dyin’ to try them. They’re the one behind the Turf Room at Redwood Acres. Drive around the building and you’ll see the signs.
Stay cool.. Stay in. Don’t breathe the shitty air. Hug a Union member (it’s Labor Day) And say goodbye to summer which seems like it just started.
Wonder how Frankie’s compares with Los Bagels, which are boiled first as are real bagels.
That’s what I’m dyin’ to find out. Los Bagels don’t have the puffy, yeasty quality that I like. Will try to get over there Wednesday. TOO HOT TODAY.
Puffy, yeasty bagels are not real bagels. Bagels should also have a smear of creamed cheese and accompanied with an egg creme made with U-Bet chocolate syrup.
The bagel which are my gold standard are those I experienced in Montreal many years ago, made by the old Hassidim, boiled in a cauldron. (sp?) They were plenty puffy. They only stayed fresh for a few hours. My Father-in-law packed home three bags. “Mort” I said, “There are only four of us at the house!” They were all gone by evening .
