Which means.... bummer... I can't eat pizza, bagels or a street corner hot dog.
In the world of gluten free, pizza was replaced fairly successfully, and hot dogs can be enjoyed with mustard and sauerkraut off a plate. But a bagel! Not being able to pick up a New York bagel with cream cheese made me want to cry.
When I arrived at my Uncle's apartment on the upper west side, I noticed something strange in his refrigerator. A package of gluten free Udi's Bagels. I learned my Uncle has recently joined the hoards of gluten free initiates and is thriving on the new diet. I have never tried Udi's gluten free bagels but I have tried other brands... and, well, yuck...
Gluten free baking is an art form. I could make this a very long post about different gluten free baking brands but this is about BAGELS...
Hungry, I opened the package. They looked interesting. They had a nice texture, of course, a lot denser than normal bagels. But okay, what the heck, I stuffed one in the toaster.

I came home to Los Angeles. I went to my favorite grocery store, Fresco Community Market in Los Angeles which carries many gluten free options. I purchased my own package to test it again. This time I bought Udi's Mighty Bagel.
I just finished it. Every last crumb, and then sat down to write this post.
