Good bagel recipe:

I’m wondering what the debates will look like. Zoom meetings, maybe? It could throw off anyone who’s used to a cheering section. Fortunately we’ve just seen both Biden and Harris can handle that.

That’s 9% undecided or unwilling to state a preference, that could put them pretty much dead even.
Because if you don’t know you’re for Biden at this point, then you are for Trump but don’t want to say so, or you have no problem with Trump so you think there is some difficult decision to make. .
So those numbers aren’t all that reassuring to me, especially when you factor in the cheating and the stealing and the corrupt Attorney General and a partisan supreme court.

We have two so-so bagel shops in the area. The oldest one was opened by New Yorkers several years ago but they sold the business. The bagels there are the consistency of hockey pucks and weight about the same. The other joint makes a much lighter bagel but they’re still inferior to the ones I used to buy in Brookline, MA when I worked in Cambridge. Those were outstanding. They also sell bagels at Publix which are from Einstein Brothers, which apparently are still a chain of bagel shops in DC and its suburbs.

We opened the local Democratic headquarters today. There’s a family-owned manufacturing company here – they are the second largest employer in town. The president of the company (he retired as CEO) donated 500 towards the rent. This guy backed Obama in ’08 and we haven’t heard from him since on politics, but he must be backing Biden too. Really pleased to see it. He wrote a letter to the editor on behalf of Obama immediately before the election that I think probably swung votes. His family is loved here. They’re good employers and really generous w/ community charity and projects. I was wondering if he’d weigh in on this one, because it’s not easy for him to “go public”- this is a very red county. Maybe he was waiting for Kamala :)
It’s a good omen :)

@geg6: There was a place in downtown Chicago about 30 years ago called Big Apple Bagels or something. They actually had a good sesame seed (I used to hike down to H&H weekly, back when they were good, so I know what you mean). But the punch line is that they went out of business. Apparently they were too good.
NotMax
@geg6
Not arguing, merely an observation that these days in NYC and its environs one has to hunt for the good as opposed to settling for the mediocre.
The bagels made at the local Costco on Maui aren’t a bad choice (albeit larger and chewier than classic NY bagels) although the quality seems to vary, the ones put out late in the day midweek noticeably better than those made earlier or on the weekends. Guessing it is related to the sheer volume demands of differing times and days.

What is remarkable about this conversation is that unlike other old standby topics, it never devolves into an argument. Everyone is in complete agreement that tne next generation will never know from a real bagel.
PsiFighter37
@NotMax: Neither. Also, the actual Ray’s was sued several years back and got everyone else to change their name. The one I used to frequent back when I was a kid (11th Street and 6th Avenue) closed shortly thereafter, and a Szechuan restaurant took up residence. I remember the pizza for its ungodly large slices, but in hindsight it was kind of mediocre. Nowadays, there is a thin-crust spot literally right next to where I live…not the best, but their meat lover’s pizza is phenomenal.

Looks like Trump made some sort of spectacle today in front of the whole country, at least anybody who watched. I guess it’s a good thing I was busy and I missed it.
Where is this suburbs in danger schtick going? Is this the promised reset for the Trumpster campaign? If Trump finds some patently BS excuse to try to send his mystery meat paramilitary federal police to the suburbs, that won’t play well.

They just had a house in the suburbs, Harriet was always nice and efficient and sensible and perky, and Ozzie was goofy, and they hung out, and mild amusement ensued. I thought there were certain types of people who had houses in the suburbs and lived lives of mild amusement, and that was all there was too it. But my family had to work and I had to go to the damn school and study (edit: I think it was nursery school, but it was a hard one, I remember I didn’t do something right and didn’t get a juice box one day for afternoon break)..

Obviously all the shows were shot during the offseason.
What offseason? you ask. Weeeel – Ozzie Nelson was the founder, leader & male vocalist of the Ozzie Nelson Band, a swing ensemble of the 1930s and 1940s; Harriet joined the band as a female vocalist, & they got hitched. All long predating the radio & then TV shows. (You could look it up.) So clearly the shows were all filmed when the band wasn’t touring & no one in the Nelson household had anything to do but lay about & get into trouble. Voilà!

@opiejeanne: She was picking berries; she usually freezes some and sells them to friends. A bear and her cub were also having the berries. She got charged by the mother who just wanted her to go away. She’s not picking any more berries.

I unfortunately live in a bagel desert. There used to be a shop here that had decent ones but then they shrank their size so much they’re almost a gem doughnut. And tripled the prices. So I either have to get store bought (gag) or hope I can find a shop on my next Seattle visit. I need MikeJ, Opie, or CaseyL here (or any of the other Seattle Juicers) to give me some guidance here.

Being a soulless ghoul with no interest in or understanding of basic humanity seems to be a requirement for membership in the GOP, whether as an office holder or as a voter/supporter.
Also, in places like backwoods Florida and Alabama, college football is the only thing they have that isn’t shit. College football is already a quasi-religion in those communities. I can easily see parents deciding that playing games is tantamount to serving God’s Will, and if the kid dies, somehow that means God loves them extra.

Looking for something else at Hungry Hound just now I saw a recent review of a new bagelry on North Dearborn which I’ll have to try, maybe next week.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: Chapman University is in the city of Orange. If you are aware of the Michael Connolly police detective character, Harry Bosch, his daughter goes there.
It has a decent reputation, but then people like Eastman manage to get a foothold in a lot of good institutions. It’s rated #125 by the raters of Universities.
I never heard of the Claremont Institute and at first I thought it was a reference to one of the Claremont Colleges, esp. Claremont-McKenna. It’s a think tank started by 4 people, located in Upland but lists its headquarters is located in Claremont. Obviously, they’re trying to trade on the name of a good institute, and their address is not in the upscale town of Claremont but in much cheaper Upland, probably in a spare room of one of these people or a basement of a parent.

@trnc: I am totally happy with her going back to being a Congresswoman. I just have one caveat: her replacement CANNOT be Steny Hoyer. And if her replacement is a younger member of Congress, I hope s/he has the wisdom to either keep her on speed dial or make her the Majority Whip. That’s the real cat herder.

The deal, IIRC, was to step aside as Speaker in 2022 (provided she is again voted Speaker in the upcoming Congress).

My niece was going to get married in Paris in early October. At the Ritz. I was about to book everything when it got bad. They moved the wedding to next year, but who knows.

@Aleta: Yeah, that’s the location I was picturing. I remember other good ones at 107th and 110th on Bway, as well as numerous Comidas Chinas y Criollas which had good, cheap sustenance. Bet they’re all gone now.

@prostratedragon: The last time I was near the UWS, the feeling from the people on the street was not the same temperature at all. The spots I used to go were gone. Even back when I used to stay there or further uptown, it was being fought over, tenants vs bld owners, years of court battles.

I suppose this is fine as long as there aren’t any other labs in Florida that have been forgetting to report their results.

I have a similar ‘friend’. You know the whole “politics is a bus – you get on the bus that’ll take you closest to where you want to go” metaphor? The last time someone posted that he started yelling but what if the bus isn’t going where they say it is and if the seats are all covered in a foul brown liquid and so on. Everyone else in the thread just kinda said “Okay man, I guess the metaphor doesn’t work for everybody.”
Some people don’t want to win, and are too high on their own purity.
