Bagels Rule; Whole Foods Sucks

This is me right before ballet this morning. (Note ballet tights.) This bagel is so good I'm almost crying.

I love cinnamon bagels with strawberry cream cheese. The only bagel better than that is Cinnamon Sugar with Full Fat Hazelnut Cream Cheese from Panera Bread. Just thinking about it makes me smile. Thinking about paying $2.50 for one every morning wipes the smile right off. I usually get Ralph's brand cream cheese. This bagel, however, was made with Bruegger's strawberry cream cheese that Sue got me. {Actually, I just assumed that she got it for me because I'm the only person, to my knowledge, who eats strawberry cream cheese.} It is so good. No comparison to Ralph's brand. This actually has chunks of strawberries in it. My bagels are from Costco.

So, Whole Foods. I'm walking home from work and there is Whole Foods. I usually don't go there because it's more expensive than Ralph's, but it was on the way and I thought I would get some strawberries and peaches. So I come up to a guy who works in the produce section who also happened to be standing next to the peaches and ask, "Hey, do you know if these peaches are sweet?" He says something inaudible and points to the cut peach on top of the pile and walks away. I'm like, what? Did he say he was going to get a knife to cut a piece of that or did he just point and walk away? So I waited a few minutes for him, then took two peaches and walked to the check out.

What?! How am I supposed to tell how sweet a peach is from looking at it's cut side? And what do you know, I walk outside, take a bite and it's crunchy and not sweet and just terrible. Probably the worst peach I've ever had in my life. Ugh. I paid $2.87 for two. Whole Foods sucks. Ralph's will always let you taste their fruit before buying it. (I almost always get a free whole orange.)
