Migraines & Bagels

Last night, I had a migraine...or what I think was a migraine. I went to sleep around 1:30 and woke up around 3 in excruciating pain. Like someone was taking a screwdriver to my left temple. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. I was afraid of rolling over on my left side and applying any more pressure should my brain decide to explode with the extra weight. It hurt so bad I thought I was going to puke, so I flipped over my makeshift night stand (a bucket) and hung off the side of my bed for a while. I got up and took 2 extra strength pain relievers, turned to my worship playlist on my iPod, and started to pray. I fell back asleep after about an hour and a half, and woke up a little before 8 with just a slight headache. I've never had my head hurt like that and I hope it doesn't happen again.

Since I stayed at home all day recovering from last night, I decided to try and make bagels. Yeast scares me. I hear of terrible yeast stories. But I decided to try it. And, well, yeah, I'm not quite sure what happened. I also didn't know you had to boil bagels...I learned a lot tonight.

Yeast...got big.

Then I realized I had to make 12 bagels...and could only bake 2 at a time.

And I could only boil one bagel at a time...and I didn't know for how long.

The recipe told me to "flatten" the bagels before I boiled & baked them...

I'm not sure what happened to these ones...but they were like rubber frisbees.

Bubu...to the garbage you go!

So out of 12 bagels, 6 ended up flat as a pancake, 2 ended up in the trash, and 4 looked like bagels!
