Bagel Bowl XLV


Friday, February 3rd, 2012

        The Superbowl – a quintessential American event.  A staple of America for years upon years.  And like any American staple, where would it be without the food?  I think the Superbowl is probably one of the American events that most easily benefits from the invention of the bagel.

        The bagel itself resembles a stadium in form, instantly offering a distinguishing factor amongst other, lesser wheat based products.  They can be served with all manner of vegetable and cream cheese based dips.  When toasted, they become suitable for transporting salsas, bean dips, and various cheeses.  When sliced thin and baked, they are great for your spicy three-cheese bean dips, hummus, and clay pigeon target practice.

        Perhaps the best use is the Pizza Bagel, which is probably the best all-around food ever invented.  It has breads, dairy, fruits and vegetables, and meats.  It’s perfectly hand-sized – you don’t have to worry about a slice – you can literally eat your own personal portable pizza!

The whole night is generally viewed through the golden or amber lens of a finely crafted American brew – also known as the ‘barely pop’ or ‘ale.’  We draw large tankards of the delicious stuff, colored with golden sunlight
        But let’s be honest. The ‘Superbowl’ we all know and love really isn’t the two teams competing on a field of grass so green and well trimmed it looks like astroturf.  The ‘Superbowl’ is actually a big ole’ punch bowl filled with jalapeño cheddar cheese dip, refried beans, salsa, corn chips/Frito’s, and the occasional chili. Somewhere, deep inside the soul of every man, woman, and child sitting beside that bowl, we know the secret of the universe exists somewhere at the bottom of that bowl.*

So as you’re sitting on the sofa Sunday night, wondering what you should feast upon this sacred night – remember the bagels!

So work your way to the kitchen and pass around some bagels!  We have Goal Line Grain, Off-Sides Onion, Blitz Blueberry,and other great treats, along with multiple types of cream cheese - including regular, honey nut, and chive.

Enjoy everyone!

*It may be that the secret to the universe is Pepcid.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H...

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time...

Breaking the Fast

     As the days pass by, one after the other, it becomes increasingly difficult to do basic things like wake up, shower, dress, pay bills, and maintain consciousness for more than sixty minutes at a time.   After a while, your log begins to look something like this: "Day 51 - The beer supply is dwindling and we've run out of twinkies.  Beard length has reached dangerous proportions.  Sandwiches and morale have both reached critically low levels. We may have to eat the dog."    Many of us have been there, distraught, seemingly without hope, wondering if, as time went by, you could easily determine which of your pets would be the least tough and stringy.  But lets not discuss pets. Lets talk about YOU.  What have you been doing to stay on track?  You're learning how to work in adverse environments right now.  Especially if you've EVER, even ONCE attempted to navigate the abysmal unemployment website. It truly is terr...
