Did you get the two different batches? One was, I think, substantially
more vinegary than the other.

I don't wake in the night to eat. But speaking of bagels. . . . a new
SuperTarget has just opened not too far from us and it was in my path
yesterday. They sell Einstein Brothers bagels!! Woo-hoo!! Now I don't
have to cross the river to get them! I bought two Everything bagels --
and totally forgot about them until reading this. Still good. Plain.
With coffee.

It's you. Have a glass of wine. "-) There's a cupboard rat in my
house that eats 2# of Nabisco Honey Maid Graham Crackers (I've been told
there is no other kind of graham cracker) about every 7-10 days.
Somewhere around 1:30 a.m., I believe. I've never caught it. OK, so I
caught it 37 years ago.
