Pumpernickel

Dress up this tasty circular bread with cream cheese, lox, or veggie spread. A pumpernickel choice with marmalade jelly, just cried out to my empty belly. There are too many people in this waiting line! I arrived at 7:00 and it's quarter past 9:00! I call out with a soft french shout, "Quel est le problem?" What's the wait all about? "Le beignet......" "S'il vous plait." My bagel please, today! Crunchy grapes, fragrant brie, so many toppings, too many to see. These warm fine spreads will soon decorate my plate. I would save some for you, but I just can’t wait. My morning coffee just cried out , "Where is my companion? I might pass out" Can you guess the treat of which I speak? It’s a favorite of many, but not unique. Round as a penny, near the size of your hand, it’s MY savory BAGEL and just plain grand! Bon appetit !
