Ooey, Gooey

Did you know they make flat bagels?  Yesterday for breakfast, I started out with a couple blueberry BagelThins from Thomas Bagels.  Obviously with cream cheese!  They were extreemly delicious with their unique wheat ingredient and slightly crumbly coating, and the blueberries add just the right punch of flavor.  I've always thought regular bagels were almost too thick, but maybe it's just my unhealthy desire to taste more of the cream cheese than what's actually good for me.  These flat bagels hit the spot, and brought the flavor to the top.  Pop 'em in the toaster and enjoy the morning.

For lunch, I broke out the Welch's apricot preserves and Skippy honey injected creamy peanut butter again.  Fast fact for anyone that doesn't know:  I have always cut my sandwiches in half diagonally; it's the way I was taught to do it as a little kid.  I guess at first we are taught this to make eating it more manageable, but yesterday I looked at it and thought about why I still do it as an adult, especially since I have really long fingers and can just as easily pick the whole thing up and eat it as is.  Maybe it's because I like the way the knife makes all the filling start to ooze out and my mouth drool over it.  Perhaps, somewhere in my mind, I'm still thinking that I need to cut them into more manageable pieces.  Or it could be that I somehow got the notion that by cutting them this way the sandwich magically doubles in flavor.  Whatever the case may be, I decided not to cut it in half yesterday.  It just didn't seem necessary, and quite fankly, it was better this way.  I felt like the crust didn't dry out the flavor as much, and there was more to eat!  The only problem was it made me want more, so I had to force myself to stop after two sandwiches.  I know that doesn't seem like a lot to some, but I do know my limits.  Needless to say, with my newfound acceptance of sandwiches not cut by the knife, I can now say I am a changed man. 

The evening was filled with mailing appreciation cards to places I've sung and spoke at before, sending out welcome letters to teens that have visited BREAKOUT once or twice, finishing up youth minsistry paperwork, and working with the church board on new changes happening within the ministry!  When I get in the mode of what I am passionate about, I usually forget to eat, so it wasn't till I got back to the house at around 10:30 last night that I sat down and decided to enjoy some taco flavored Doritos while watching Leno and Storage Wars.  I think I'll go with the salsa verde flavor next....that really makes me want Taco Bell.
