I texted my good friend Nancy a photo of a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon and she texted me back and said, “the food of my people”. I giggled to myself thinking she just enjoyed them. But, I educated myself and didn’t realize the long Jewish history of bagels. While reading this article I learned a lot about The Secret History of Bagels . I should text her a picture of my peach, bacon & jalapeno schmear. I bet she would drool over it.

Jalapenos…How Hot Are They?
The heat in jalapenos varies from one to another, so taste a slice first, they might be mild so you won’t have to seed them and you can just mince them up. If they are really hot, I would recommend seeding them and cutting the membrane out before chopping them up….you judge how spicy you want this
