Smoked Duroc pork ribs made into rib sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls. Delicious!

I can't imagine you saying this if you had ever had a real bagel, like one from a Jewish deli in the Northeast USA (New York City especially.) Here in California we often find these pale awful bready things labelled "bagels" but we all know a real bagel is made like a pretzel, risen yeast dough boiled in lye before it's baked. It goes stale in about an hour, but when it is hot and steamy it tastes like every favorite thing ever. Mix some lox with that cream cheese and I could eat it every day and get fat with glee... and I'm not even Jewish nor from New York. It's just... well, it's like when you go to Italy and have your first real pizza.

Available at Hank's Western Deli, a little known division of Big Star BBQ.

Tried for Butter Pecan this time. It came out OK, but not I how I envisioned it. I'll try something different next time.

I baked up some more this morning from leftover french toast batter from our birthday weekend brunch for a good friend.
