Saturdays and Rubbermaid, utility carts, bagels

It's Saturday and you're up early. You can't help it, since you wake up before the birds, it seems, on your work mornings. You hop on your bike and pedal down to the market for some fresh bagels. Inside, the smell of yeast and sweet baking fills the air, and as soon as you spot the familiar Rubbermaid carts full of golden brown buns, you can't wait to get home and brew some coffee. The dawn is just fading into the full light of the day as you situate your goods on your bike for the quick jaunt home. Your basket holds the newspaper and a baker's dozen. When you pass some Rubbermaid utility carts full of clearance items in front of the clothing store downtown, you remember it's Sidewalk Sale day. Great. After your breakfast you can do a little shopping. Saturday mornings can be so delicious!

Donuts on Rubbermaid carts

One of the best ways to keep bagels fresh, once you have purchased a bunch hot off the Rubbermaid utility carts that stack them so neatly, is to freeze them, believe it or not. Once cool, bagels can be sliced and stored in plastic bags in the freezer. Then, on those groggy weekday mornings, you can thaw them on the kitchen counter or wrap them in foil for a brief bout in the oven. They'll taste almost as good as fresh. Another item you'll find on those ubiquitous Rubbermaid carts is yeast donuts. These don't keep as long as bagels do in the freezer, but if they're wrapped well, they'll be okay for a few weeks. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to thaw them out, and enjoy!
