Bagels are one of those things that I have always thought are best bought from the people who know how to make them. I mean you have to make the dough, boil and then bake it. What a load of fuss, even if they are good. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
My son is so over my bagel need and has removed him from the lounge where I am typing this and closed himself in his room. YES, he can get out on his own.
Today was one of those really, really wet days and I figured it was the perfect day to give baking a go. The temp is below 30 for once. But it was a mission.
We have been debating the need to have 2 umbrella's in the household, but to this day it has only been a debate. As is right and fitting hubby had first dibs on the umbrella. Only fair since he has to go to work. Someone has to pay for my new obsession and believe me it's going to get expensive. Hubby ran off to work in the middle of a torrential downpour. I had a shower and hoped that the rain would stop belting down. But this is the tropics.
Off to school for my son. This required me to get totally and utterly soaked to the bone, which isn't really all that traumatic since it is hot, but my shoes were so wet that I was aqua planing on the inside of the shoe, which was then aqua planing against the pavement. Fun.
Gee, why am I giving you so much detail!
You see, the thing about baking is that I have to buy a mixing bowl, a mixing spoon, measuring cups/jug. And then of course I need the ingrediants.
I took myself to Mustafa's which gives me the heebie jeebies, but has everything. If you can find it.
And after much fun. I realised that I actually like baking bread. See proof.
I will taste test on Hubby this evening, if he is still alive tomorrow then all good.
Maybe blueberrie ones next? Cinnamon and raison? Oooh, chocolate.
Damn, I am going to have to hurry out and make some friends or else Hubby and I will end up HUGE.
Ok, enough rambling.
