Bagels!
Hello readers! Mr. Sense here with a small life update for our local fans.
As our family has focused on frugality in all areas, I’ve gotten more creative with cooking and baking. I think my wife has written about my homemade baguettes and other breads, but lately she’s been most excited about homemade bagels (especially when she gets home from a long run).
Staunton is a beautiful place with no shortage of great restaurants and bakeries, but there’s one thing it doesn't have: a place to get fresh bagels. Sure, you can truck it over the mountain to Bodo’s or haul yourself to Harrisonburg to swing by Mr. J’s during a Costco run, but wouldn’t it be nice to have something a little closer?
With that in mind, I’ve started accepting orders on homemade bagels from friends around town. I’m following Virginia cottage food rules and not doing online orders or anything fancy, but if you’re local and want to get your hands on some bagels, feel free to email Ms. Sense at mammonsense@gmail.com. At this point, I’m just making a few small batches for friends and neighbors, but I’d love your support and feedback!
