Bagel Season

I’ve always been obsessed with The O.C., and now apparently I’m also obsessed with what they eat for breakfast. Bagels. The Cohen family goes through these every morning like clockwork, and I guess watching that finally wore me down. So I went to the supermarket and bought some.

Found a few varieties—plain, sesame, raisins. I tried two: one loaded with thick cream cheese, the other with Géramont and salami, which sounds weird but actually worked. They were good. Nothing complicated, just a solid breakfast item.

New episode airs tonight, so if anything, this bagel obsession is probably only going to get worse from here.
