So Much Food: New York Style Bagel Recipe I had another recipe, but this one looked better when I found it about 2 years ago. I placed the link and so here it is where I can find it again.
After real NY Style bagel – anything else is just donut shaped bread.
Of course the missing “ingredient” is the Water in NYC and Yonkers, but that can’t be helped.
For the Sourdough fiends among us: You can use your Sourdough sponge as a starting point – You will need to add a good yeast and the rise will take longer, but oh my goodness, you will think you died and went to the lower East Side for breakfast.

AND a big thank you to @jennygoycochea Her recipes are often “worth giving a try”
Continuing my dig thru unpublished Tiplet Drafts… While doing a recipe conversion, found this link – it has quite a few “Egg” Facts – so worth a read, or you can just scroll down a bit to the Weight Class chart for the Food Math. How Much Does An Egg Weigh?
This book is often my “starting point” for adapting recipes to the appliances #InMySmallKitchen – My copy is the 1968 edition. Treasured for its many notes written by me, those from aunts, cousins, and even Peggy Masterson one of the “Ladies in the office” If you are interested I did see some reasonably priced copies on line, possibly Alibris or you can use this affiliate link to see what Amazon has in new & Used versions.
i will work hard to share my versions of the recipes (almost all involve changes particularly to measurements and of course techniques. Ifyou want the original versions, you will need to get a copy of the actual hardcover book
No matter your Middle Class Income bracket, Inflation is real. The Following is based on pricing “near me” from our actual expenditures (yes, one of my “hobbies” is Kitchen Table Economic Spreadsheets)

*ALDI prices often vary from area to area – Although ALDI has the lowest “mark up” among stores that do not offer “In-Store Pricing” – the above is based on delivery by Instacart I compared these with the same items in other states. Prices were similar
P.S. The Beef for Carne Asada or Carne Picada is excellent for use in Taco, Fajitas, Italian Beef, Chili, and pretty much anyplace you would use either ground or sliced beef – just change up the seasoning blends. AND… For someone with hand grip/arthritis issues, it is worth the extra few cents per pound
People who cook from scratch, but do take advantage of a good “blend” Everything including the UPC Code seems to be the same.
Exactly one year ago, I ordered a “year supply” (2 bags) and the price was $10.10 each ($1.48 per ounce) Today that same product (everything including the UPC Code is the same) is “offered” at $16.98 ($2.50 per ounce)
On a more positive note (and one those who know me may find interesting) This blend is a favorite because (a) it does not contain salt and (b) this is sort of shocking – unlike most “Italian” seasoning mixes – does not contain garlic.
The ingredients: Organic Herbs (Marjoram, Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Savory, Oregano, Sage) are an excellent base for more nuanced mixes like a Greek/Mediterranean, Italian and a long list of other with the addition of one or two more flavors. TIPLET: Based on average “useage” I only keep enough for two weeks “on the counter” and the remainder is “on the freezer door”
