Youngest daughter got a new puppy.
He fits right in - already has his head buried in a book!
You may remember that on that looooong Christmas trip to Maine, in between the old car breaking down and me having to buy a new (to us) car, we had to have her kitty put to sleep. 😢
She was lonely up there in quarantine without a furbaby. She knew she couldn't replace her kitty, but a puppy seemed like a good idea. But Maine had restrictions on adoptions from out of state, so she was in limbo. She got a call on her birthday that the pup could be hers - whenever restrictions were eased. That happened June first.
Meet Teddy. (He is SO tiny - he weighs 5 pounds!)
Teddy has the wrong idea about yoga mats. When my daughter got the mat out to do her yoga, he decided it was time to play.
And then of course it was nap time!
I love this video because it captures his personality. He's only 5 months old, but already he's one determined pup. My daughter says he has no clue he's so small.
Meanwhile, back down in NYC, Oldest daughter did her second round of bagel making. For her first batch she used whole wheat flour, but they were a little more dense than she wanted, so she switched to bread flour for the second batch. The recipe was based on one she found on Sally's Baking Addiction.
First she made the dough and allowed it to rise.
Next step was to break it into little balls and rise again.
Time to make them into bagel shapes...
BOIL
Add toppings and bake!
It sounds so simple, but I know it was a very long process. She was happy with the outcome and enjoyed them for breakfast for days.
What do you think? Have you or would you give bagel making a try?
