May I have a moment of silence for Spike please 😞

He was a good beaver. He never complained and always took what was given to him like a true trooper that he was.

All hail Spike. He fought a good fight and used a broken bottle of maple syrup in hand to hand with a bigger opponent, like a true champ that he was—apparently unsuccessfully.

Those were tears of sadness really.🤭
 
The day started well. I had a good taxi run. Then mmy GF came over. 🫂 😘

Then I went to have a tooth extracted only to find out there was a mystery mass beneath the tooth! We think in was infection but the tooth had a root canal so I did not feel the pain. Next was oral surgery. Now I am on pain meds, cold packs on my cheek so I do not look like a chipmunk, and soft foods.

Life has its ups and then its downs. Today had both!

Eating ice cream to help feeling sorry for myself.

And no bagels for a while.

🤗 Take care and keep up w/ the cold packs. They are amazing after dental work.

Bagels: yeah, I don't think "blender bagels" is really a thing... and if it is, maybe a polite pass :unsure:

Awwww hang in there!

Lol um yeah apparently stay away from Montreal style bagels 🙄

They feel good too

It was good we got together earlier as I could not do now what I did before. LOL

I plan to get sleep soon after the next cold pack.

I will probably be up later as will need more pain meds when these where off.
 
Catch up time... not to be confused with Ketchup Time

Small: check
Rollies: check
Deeper than expected: check
Like to play Ding-Dong-Ditch: check
Took an RN and the Anesthesiologist to start the IV
RN - once and noped out to call anesthisia
Anesthesiologist - a little hunting, then lidocaine (burns!), then 3 or 4 tries before the IV was ready
Honestly, I've had worse. This is pretty much the standard for me. :rolleyes:

Geez! Be careful out there, man! Elbows are tricky and can take a long time to heal. Next time go for a clean break, not a bendy joint. (Like we get to choose the location for an accidental injury). 🤗



Midwest weighing in on the bagel debate.
Disclaimer: I'm a picky eater w/ what have been called both "clean" and "weird" food habits.
When you take the chains out of the mix (i.e. Bruegger's Bagels, Panera Bread, etc.)... we have some independents that cook both representatives from both styles.

Overall, I prefer NJ/NY style -
Smaller hole = less lost fixins and cleaner eat
Chewier and fluffier: yes, please
Montreal "cooked in water and honey": too sweet for me
Montreal "most common flavors poppy seed and sesame seed": okay, but my fave are garlic and pumpernickel

(If I could get a "garlic pumpernickel bagel" I'd likely have a foodgasm 🤤 )

But if you want a "rip and dip" option, then Montreal is the way to go IMO.

Missed my window - also, this type of anesthesia doesn't hang on as long. I went from naptime to wide awake in under 20 minutes. So will play this now - thank you! :LOL:
I will just add this.

Any bagel not made in NY or Jersey is simply a bread donut.
