Having a good bagel for ‘break’fast may not be quite that exciting for most of you. However, here in the Holy Land, the Israelis haven't yet figured out how to master the great New York bagel. The truth is that anyone outside NY really hasn't figured it out either. But that's because they don't know it’s all in the NY water. The Israelis on the other hand think that making a challah in the shape of an 'O' suffices as a reason to call it a bagel. ....I don’t think so!.
So this afternoon while the Mommy was out, Simmy and son decided to surprise Mommy with some hot fresh NY bagels to come home to. (Well really Simmy was in the mood for a good bagel to break his fast on and knew that finding one here wasn't that likely. So like a lot of other things.....he just did it himself! )
Needless to say they turned out quite good....Just look at the smile on Chaya Tehila's face!
What kind of Bagel do you prefer?

 |
| One word: YUM !!! |

| Chaim got to try it out first with some tuna. It was 'alicious' Mommy ! |
 |
| Chaya Tehila obviously felt the same as her brother and devoured it with Mommy's homemade cream cheese |

| Chaim could never hold himself back from sharing a good thing with others (well not quite with his sister, but we're working on it) |
Hope your fast was meaningful and easy.

Cute. All fasting here for 2½ more hours. Wasn't feeling hungry until I got your email. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to come home to Sari..We still have 1 1/2hrs to go...but I sure wouldn't mind having one of those bagels to break my fast on! They do look 'alicious' and CT's face says it all..Sim, I'm sure you wouldn't have minded taking a bite out of Chaim's 'sharing' bagel at the time he was offering it to you :) T think I might just have to try making them...Love MA
