14 : toasty deliciousness



today’s joyful moment is a small one, but a perfect one. bagels, to me, are one of the hardest food items to perfect, and this morning at work, i made the most absolutely pristine and, quite frankly, gorgeous bagel. when it hopped happily out of the toaster this morning, it was the most deliciously enticing shade of golden toasty brown . . . the cream cheese spread evenly over each half, warmed up just enough for a smooth coating on both surfaces. no edge burned, no spot left un-browned – a flawless specimen almost too delectable to eat . . . almost.
