My favorite bagel shop not only had my favorite bagel, but my favorite cream cheese as well. (Click here if you want to check out my favorite bagel.) Their jalapeño cream cheese was so delicious with the perfect amount of spiciness. Plus on the rare occasion when they had both my favorite bagel and favorite cream cheese I was very happy. The bagel shop had a weekly special bagel and cream cheese and of course mine were on the list of specials, so they did not offer them all the time.
The good news is even though I no longer love anywhere near my favorite bagel shop I can now enjoy my favorite bagel and cream cheese anytime I want.
