The first printed mention of bagels...
is to be found in the Community Regulations
of Krakow, Poland, for the year 1610,
which stated that bagels would be given as a gift
to any woman in childbirth.

The deli downstairs always messes up my bagel.
Me (emailing my friend Kira, who was with me at the time I ordered): Did I or did I not CLEARLY say Provolone cheese? They gave me cream cheese. Honestly, they ALWAYS mess up my bagel.
Kira (emailing me): I clearly heard you. That's no good. If it's not on the menu, then it doesn't exist. Maybe we should get a huge pad and write it down ... you know, I could hold the pad while you rip off the pages.
Page 1: Good Morning!!
(Suzanne rips off first page while Kira taps her foot)
Page 2: Could I please have a NON-TOASTED BAGEL with...
(Rip...)
Page 3: PROVOLONE CHEESE and TOMATO SLICES.
(Rip...)
Page 4: Thank you!!
That's why I love Kira.
