bacon avocado breakfast sandwiches will change your life

One of my coworkers once had this really fun house party - I arrived solo and was looking around for a friend, when a cute guy kindly directed me toward the basement. As I started walking away, he told me I looked familiar. I figured it was the start of a cheesy pickup line so I politely told him I had no idea who he was and walked away.

Fast forward a couple hours and I ended up talking to this guy again. Turns out he's super interesting and writes about the local music scene in DC. He offered to play some music for me on his phone, so we went on the roof of my coworker's house. We were totally having A Moment when suddenly he said "I know where I know you from. You're on OkCupid."

Immediately, I started babbling "I'm so sorry! I don't remember getting your message. I get so many messages every day, and it gets so hard to keep up-" before he cut me off and said "No, I don't think I messaged you."

So, of course, I reflexively screeched "WHY WOULDN'T YOU MESSAGE ME," thus effectively ruining a beautiful moment and continuing my pattern of being The Most Socially Awkward Person Alive.

i'm going to tie this in to breakfast sandwiches, promise.

how to mend heartbreak with homemade bagels

What if I told you you could make bagels from scratch without a strugglefest? Would you believe me? Probably not.

you should.

I know you're probably wondering what kind of weirdo makes her own bagels when you can just buy them in the grocery store?

Listen. These aren't just any regular store-bought bagels. These are life-changing, earth-shattering, from-the-streets-of-new-york-city-bagels. But beware - if you make this recipe once, you'll want to start making it every. single. weekend. It's why I don't have a life anymore. But I love these damn bagels omg.

I think you're overselling these.

You know what? Maybe. But I don't think so. And I think you really need to try them. What do you have to lose, besides a few hours and your diet?
