I'm going to the bagel store today and I'm buying a plain bagel, toasted, dry. I'm crazy like that. I'm unfortunate in that I deny myself the pleasures of cream cheese, sesame seeds, "everything," etc; but I know to savor hot bread. Admittedly I show up to the counter and feel so much shame. You can only go "just hot bread, really" and chuckle it off until it stops being funny and registers as strange. I don't really want to be the bread guy but it's just who I am right now. And truthfully I know I'm not doing anything to change it anytime soon. Anyways I highly recommend Knickerbocker Bagel. They make great bread.
