Just back..Ess a bagel--Wow!
We just got home from a whirlwind visit--ending with a trip to Ess a Bagel this morning. I even toted a baker's dozen home to Dallas, and now I'm wondering how to best store them for this week's consumption. Freeze?

They won't last well past today, maybe tomorrow if you individually store each bagel in a ziploc bag and leave on the countertop. Any longer and I'd freeze them. Just slice almost all the way through and put in individual ziploc bags. Then you can reheat/toast them without using the microwave.

Congratulations... you have reached bagel nirvana! Ess-a-Bagels really do taste best hot and fresh. I've had pretty good luck leaving the bagels in a paper bag and then putting the paper bag in a ziplock. Try to squeeze all of the air out. This should work to keep the bagels fresh for about one more day. Any longer, freeze!

Okay, you guys were totally right. I had a leftover this morning, and, while still better than the Einstein's bagels my friends were consuming, it wasn't even remotely the same texture as yesterday. I did go ahead and freeze the rest last night. I guess that also changes my mind about mail order--wouldn't be the same......

Ah, Einstein...we've got those in Evanston, but when the school year's over (and during any possible vacation time) there's truly nothing like Ess-A. Einstein is great and tasty, but I've always felt as if I were eating bread instead of bagels - so, great bread, bad bagels. They make some good whipped cream cheeses though, the pumpkin is nice during the fall.
