I agree.

Earned? FFS, it's just a damn BAGEL.

Maybe I'm missing something

No kiddin'! There are many hundreds of years of combined cigar experience and knowledge in the Asylum and from what I have seen, and experienced first-hand, it is freely and even eagerly given without gain and fanfare. That's what being a botl is all about and that can apply to all aspects of life

*sigh* Ces't la vie!

Look at it this way, you go to a herf and you sitting with a few people and somebody comes over and starts handing out cigars but passes you by. You wonder why and eventually you get wind that he didn't think you "earned" it yet. Now, wouldn't that be a major d*ck move? I think so. (fwiw, I've seen this happen and it sickened me.)

Bingo! That is the perfect perfect analogy and in your case story.

Nope, actually it appears the poaching liquid contains just a wee dram of Summers Eve.
That, is the secret ingredient.

Good Lord. If I ever thought I was a "good enough" bread baker I don't know what the heck I'd do with myself.

It's one of the bright sides of unemployment. I'm baking a loaf or two a day, honing in on a baseline from which I can REALLY experiment

I resembled that remark for over a year... I feel your pain, bro.

Did a lot of "experimenting" with stuff to keep myself from going rabidly insane.

Good luck!

And I'll share my experience (or lack thereof) with anyone willing to listen...

Just be sure that whoever you share it with has earned it.

Depends.

It's all about the water and possibly air born yeast. Just like NY Pizza never tastes the same outside of NY.

I LOVE cigars.....and I LOVE the info, insight and most of all the brother/sister hood I've felt since joining Cigar Asylum. But blunt honest, this bagel thread is my very favorite. Soooooooo funny!

I grew up with my grandmother coming to visit us at the shore from North Jersey every Sunday with bagels and smoked whitefish.

Since leaving the Northeast a couple decades ago, I have just about given up on bagels, but did find this article about one of the best bagel places in NYC and wanted to share it, and you don't even have to earn it.
