Bagel bagel bagel. Cinnamon-raisin with butter or ‘everything’ with cream cheese.

As an aside, my favorite moment each week usually occurs around 8AM on a Saturday, when I sit down in front of my computer to read the Dope with my toasted bagel and coffee, with the weekend in all its splendor stretching out before me.

If it’s a real bagel, I’d choose that, preferably with cream cheese and a good quality jam.

Otherwise, muffins are also good; I like blueberry or banana nut, with lots of butter.

Do _not_ get me started on buttered rolls!

I prefer English muffins. Toasted and buttered.

Blueberry bagels are good too.
