I may not eat bacon ever again! (I know, Bacon Girl--more for you.)

I had smoked turkey canadian bacon today with breakfast. It was very tasty too!

Bacon goes well with bagels.

One of my favorite breakfasts is a toasted rye bagel with cream cheese and crispy bacon. YUM!

Uh, Joyce W.--that doesn't sound exactly kosher to me.

Dahlink - most definitely NOT kosher but really really good. A slice of munchee cheese on there is also very nice, Nope, definitely not kosher!

What is "munchee cheese"?

Owl and I had bacon and pancakes for breakfast today.

Right now, as I type this, he's upstairs watching some stupid sitcom on tv and.... wait for it.... sewing!

OMG sends his regards to the sand people. I have just drawn him a warm bath (he was exhausted from the sewing) and now he is up there splashing and singing Masters of War.

I'm having a drink... wondering if he is going to come downstairs dressed in the purple velvet cordouroy suit again... it's a Saturday Night fav. of his.

Sewing is good! How else are you going to get buttons back on, repair a small seam split or hem things?

I will admit, I did give up darning tube socks. Just not a good use of my time.

Hi Bourbon Girl,
Glad to see you back in the Sandbox!

Owl should up his game, and get into some fleece, like the polartec kind.

Wondering if you ever got those pistachios from the nutsonline place and what you thought of them...

I have had munchee cheese, not sure if it is spelled that way though.

But Muenster cheese, real good!

EL,
Did you finish watching Mad Men? Was it as swell as I said it was? What was your favorite scene?

I have a bad feeling that my Tastycake comment (else where) went as Anonymous. I know it looks like it aught to be a browser issue but given how ofter it happens to so many of us, I still suspect Blogware for blanking ID info.

Anyway, after hearing about the sewing, if we weren't on 'Nice lock down' (and I'm not complaining) I would make a comment about Raptor's fashion forward wardrobe. But, that might not pass the 'Nice' test, so I have nothing to say. We won't discuss what I might be thinking.

RtSO, find a good dictionary, and look up the original meaning of "nice". You'll feel better.

Oh ... sorry! Didn't get the memo in time. After our last trip (this year!) to the Bel Air market (only four vendors left) we sashayed left and right to Bagel Works to stock up (2 whole wheat, 2 plain, 2 everything) since my daughter is back home from BU and she loves the bagels for breakfast.

With only four vendors we managed to fill our exquisite basket with broccoli, radishes, spinach, a small pumpkin pie (serving size "1" for my 20 year old son), ground beef and a nice brisket to put up for corned beef later this winter.

"Munchee Cheese" is a service mark for a sweetened, and I think lightly smoked, pasteurized processed cheese product. (I don't think I have ever revealed on this blog that my first job in high school was working for Gourmate, Ltd., a cheese shop in the King of Prussia Mall owned by Borden's.)

RtSO,
I have had the same problem as well, blanking my info. Hal, VoR, told me that its most likely a glitch with my browser (IE7). And I am inclined to agree. Earlier I visited the Sandbox using Firefox but that browser was quite slow.Perhaps because I don't use it much and had to load a bunch of stuff that IE7 already had cached.

And I'm sure the Raptor is plenty spiffy in his purple velvet corduroy suit.

RtSO and PCB Rob -- I also have the disappearing personal info problem. In my experience, an idle click on a D@L page while innocently scrolling down to read all the entries will frequently cause the "Remember personal info?" box to become unchecked, leading to instant irretrievable wipeout of the personal info (which then has to be retyped). Ah, technology ...

I can't help thinking that the purple velvet is a virtual outfit. But if anyone spots him on Saturday night, please report back!

Rob and Rob, I have that "anonymous" entity assigned to me from time to time also. I don't think it's my browser because I manually put it in each time (it's not in memory). It seems to happen during particuarly slow "send" times.

I've become anonymous several times. I also frequently seem to loose the URL link from my info.

Dahlink,
While Owl Meat's purple velvet may invoke images of Saturday Night Fever for you, I keep thinking of the Imperial Margarine King.

I find that I often make comments that I wish would have went out as anonymous.

Ms Lissa, I just went to Wiktionary for a nice bit of research. There's a lot of nice information provided. I particularly liked the final comment: Sometimes used sarcastically to mean the opposite or to connote excess. Now that's nice. It gives new meaning to the uber trite 'Have a nice day.'

RtSO, I was thinking of the etymology. Wiktionary has part of it. You'll find more of it here

My favorite bagel spread is veggie cream cheese. EL, where does one find really good bagels? The ones at Panera and grocery stores are too big. I LOVE real Jewish bagels, but are they worth a trip to Pikesville from Lake Montebello? How are Greg's bagels?

GREAT COOGA MOOGA! I didn't think there was such a thing as too much bacon, but that article proved me wrong. Yikes!

I'm happy with toasted and buttered Einstein bagels, but I'm no purist. EL

Sorry Elizabeth, my software fuzzed out on me, and I thought the first post didn't go thru. Oh well...sorry bout that.

IMHO (for whatever that's worth) Greg's are not "real" bagels (as Panaras aren't either). Goldberg's in Pikesville are too soft and huge for me, they don't have that "crusty" feel on the outside.

The place I've been reccomending to everyone for years that has a REAL Jewish style bagel is Courtney's on Owings Mills Blvd. It's sort of in the area where The Outback and Bonefish Grill are, but on the other side of the street. Susan, (the owner) really gets it - what a Jewish bagel and bagel shop should be like. Her bagels have that shiny look and that tooth feel that I look for in a good bagel.

Never found anything close but I hear that place on York Road - Towson? Timonium? has a good bagel as well.

Nice

Joyce! Owings Mills is pretty much the other side of the earth for me, but I pass through Timonium a couple times a week. Are you thinking of the place a few light s up from the beltway, on the right as you head North?

Eve - yes, I believe that that is the place...maybe some Timonium area folks will enlighten...
