    OMG, this looks so good! LOVE carrot cake with lots of cream cheese frosting! As long as it doesn't have coconut on it I'm good. I usually come on here with my phone but I'm on my laptop today, it's super tempting seeing it so large! I'm going to ask for carrot cake for my birthday this month.

    Can I have just the frosting and whatever crumbs might get mixed in please🙃😋

    This thread make me realize how repelled I am by processed food.
    Just had breakfast, not hungry now.
    When hungry, I'd like either a zero calorie Thai Iced Tea or Mango Lassi.

    @pancakerunner -- with this image, we can now dispose of the new "Disagree" button, because.... well, just because. That's great.

    This is FANTASTIC. This is the post that earned me my first "disagree." Yay! Or should I say, "WOO hoo" :drinker:

    @pancakerunner never heard of hummingbird cake, it sounds good! Not as good as carrot cake though!

    I meant to post a photograph of the giant wedge of red wine chocolate cake (buttercream icing, naturally) that I bought for post-hike.

    But then I ate it. Sorry :)

    Tease.

    I had the most amazing prime rib at a little dive bar this weekend while traveling. I should have taken a picture. Seriously the best prime rib I've ever had!

    I was actually just hunting for a stock photo of what I ate this weekend because my husband and I ate it too fast to take pictures. :) It was perfect seasoned fries covered in queso and roasted green chile. I want so much more of it!

    Calories (from the internet):

    Glazed Donut: 192 (+ is usually eaten without further condiments)
    Plain Bagel: 245 (+ is usually eaten with butter, cream cheese, or smoked salmon)

    FWIW, bagels are a calorie-inefficient bread choice.

    Seeing those pastries made me think a bagel sounds really delicious right about now 🤤 if you go in the afternoon sometimes the lady will always throw in a few for free since the shop closes around that time & they don't want to throw them out or let them go stale. Sometimes they're just half off, but just so delicious you can't help but get more than one.

    Those closing time bagels are one of life's great joys! Toast that bugger and you're good to go.

    Remember those bagels I was telling you about? We went there today before the lunch rush & I got a bagel & a berry danish. I wanted to get a box of donuts, but knew it would be a bad idea lol

    That looks amazing :heart: .
    I remember back in my younger days I used to get bologna and American cheese on a bagel for lunch once a week and wash it down with a Coke, it's good to be young and active!

    If you have a place that has both good bagels AND good danishes, you dear friend have hit the jackpot. Very few places can do both well, either they do good pastries and have meh bagels or vice versa. Count your blessings :smiley:

    There's more to life than being calorie-efficient.
    And a good NY bagel will be closer to 400 calories, plus a metric ton of cream cheese. And worth every gloriously inefficient calorie. :smile:

    Man! Now I want bagels. :p

    Love a bagel with cream cheese. Not an everyday food, but certainly a good once in a while treat.

    Agreed!

    FWIW, bagels are a calorie-inefficient bread choice.

    A 190 calorie glazed donut (using Krispy Kreme as example) is only 49 grams by weight. A 245 calorie bagel is 98 grams. So it's 2 doughnuts per 1 bagel. Which really means per hundred grams, donuts are 390 calories vs 250 calories per bagels. So not really more calorie efficient. Not to mention bagels have protein and fiber. The "other things you add to it" also have additional macro and micro nutrients that can make having a bagel a complete meal. Hard to imagine one small glazed donut is going to be a complete meal for anyone.

    But anywhooo... That's not really the point of this thread. On this thread, we can have BOTH bagels and donuts, AT THE SAME TIME. Maybe you can fill you bagel with a donut.

    Oooh a dogel or a banut!
