When I coordinated a couple of things with Pete over the phone this morning, I had told him that I was too tired to do a heck of a lot and my only plan for today was to see if I could manage rye bagels. I didn't eat breakfast this morning and my row was terrible... all because I didn't eat oatmeal and there was nothing else. It seemed like a good idea to make bagels and freeze them for that kind of morning. Well, I ended up doing a double batch of rye and a double batch of regular... learning in the process that with my so-called professional mixer, one at a time would be a better idea. Plus I decided to do a couple of things here and there as I waited for things to rise and ended up doing all of the bathrooms, 3 loads of laundry, cleaning the master bedroom, getting out all of the household trash and the litter box. The roombas did the rest. So yeah... not so much on the resting part of it. Now that I've run out of steam, I'm going to do a couple more small tasks and then I'm going to get the digital reader out and go out on the porch to get a little sun. 

On the bagel part of things... best yet. I'm getting better every time I do them. The rye were very good, but I think I'll put a bit more rye flour in next time. The proportion that most recipes call for is about 3/8 of it, but I think pushing it to half would actually work quite well. Luckily for me, Pete has been hoping I'll do more with rye so he'd gotten some caraway the last time we were at Penzeys. 

Well, I want to sit on my butt until Pete gets home so I had better finish up the last few things I want to get done. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
