just made bagels for the third time

[onethatcares]

and these suckers look and taste great. I'm turning into a cooking guy of some type. I make a mean chicken pot pie, great bagels, a skillet pineapple upside down cake, pancakes, steaks, shepards pie and a litany of other goodies.

I'm not to hot on the deserts cause I'm not a desert eater but the main courses. Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh

Psst: I'm braggin' Made Pad Thai last nite, no leftovers between two people over a pound and a half of it.

2. what are "water bagels"?

I have to put them in boiling water for one minute each side. Is that what you mean?

They are good. I get 8 nice size ones from each attempt.

The second set weren't quite up to snuff, I used too much water in mixing the dough.

3. Yep...that's water bagel.

Boiling the dough before baking. It is nearly impossible to buy a water bagel in a super market or deli anywhere anymore.
There used to be a chain called Irv's Hot Bagels in the Philly area but they've been gone for years. They are special. Good on ya.

4. In Texas, they use them to make Waterburgers?

No idea if that pun works outside 9 or 10 southern states
