Dang. Here I thought you were going to tell us a horror story about eating
a big honking bagel! I just threw out a package. We go to the bread outlet
to get some gluten and soy free beef jerky for Angela and also some honey
mustard and other non-bread things. I rarely buy bread in there. But they
give you free stuff depending on how much you buy. The free stuff is always
bread stuff and I usually qualify for 4 or 5 free things. Last time I could
have gotten 4 freebies. There were mainly bagels but also some sourdough
rolls and I think maybe some sweet rolls.

I have a friend who could use these things, but she's in another city and
the cost of gas for me to get them to her would be prohibitive. Otherwise,
I don't know of anyone who would use them. I took two packs of bagels
giving one to my parents and taking the other home, hoping my husband might
eat them before he went out of town. He didn't. Instead, he hoovered my
flax seed bread, leaving none for me. I went to the store to get some more,
but they were out of it. Grrr... There are only a few stores around here
that sell it and I was feeling really sick at the time and didn't feel up to
going elsewhere. So I got a loaf of sourdough. It's what I was eating
before I found the flax.

I stretched that 1/4 bagel to four bites. Boo hoo! Someone on
rec.food.sourdough mentioned that sourdough is lower carb than regular
bread. Also, that whole grain dough makes the lowest net carb bread. Since
I'm thinking of getting back into making sourdough bread, I found that
interesting. More research needed.

When Angela was a toddler, I used to buy her the mini bagels. I would eat
one of those on a rare occasion. Never was much of a bagel lover though.

The best bagels were in NYC. Don't remember where. I had 1/2 bagel with
cream cheese and a slice of red onion about an hour ago (no tomato or lox
on hand). FBG was 78, one hour PP BG was 117. I guess red onions are sweet.

I never had any bagels when we lived in NYC. The knishes were wonderful
though!

Was one of these yesterday and the other today? I am trying to figure out
how you could have 4-5 hours between FBG's The extra bg with half a
bagel might be from the bagel itself not the onions. 1/4 may be your limit
for remaining fairly static.
