Yesterday, I actually made some bagels. At home. They were delicious, like this one here. I feel much happier than I did two days ago, thanks to these bagels. The recipe came from jewishrecipes.org, but I found that the bagel's shape is much more satisfactory if you punch a hole in the middle with your thumb rather than pinching two ends together, as this recipe suggests.

Of course, you probably have no intention of baking yourself any bagels. You probably have no intention of baking anything. In fact, you probably don't even know what an oven is for, since you are probably a slave of the microwave oven, like so many jaded 21st century blokes. Sorry, I'm ranting again.

Anyway, nothing special happened that I know of.
