Actually, that's really where my renewed desire for bagels came from. Now, I know that the 'German Bakery' has bagels. I mean, I never bought them before because I never had cream cheese before. But yesterday I proudly strolled over the the bagels and picked up two. They only had blueberry and chocolate, but this didn't deter me. I knew I had cream cheese, afterall!
When I got the the counter she started putting them right into a little take-out bag, and I politely stopped her and asked her if she could toast them. So she smiled and said 'of course'. At this point I watch her put the bagles—without slicing them—into the toaster! I must admit, I was a little stunned. But before the feeling could wear off, she pulled them out and threw them into the little baggie. All in all, they must have been in the toaster for about 15 seconds AT MOST!
Whatever. When I got to the office, I thought I'd just slice them myself and eat the untoasted bagles with cream cheese. I mean, at least I had cream cheese, right? ...Anyway, so I get back to the office and realise I've forgotten my knife. So right away I start searching the office kitchen (before my bagles get cold again). I mean, I know I'm in Japan, but I thought I saw a knife around there before...But nai. No knife.
This is the final result. I'm ripping the bagle apart and smearing the cheese on with a spork they gave me to eat soup with once. Honestly though, it was one of the most delicious breakfasts I've had in a while!
