I have received terrible news. Noah's Bagels is discontinuing their sun-dried tomato bagel.
We have this tradition in the office. Every Friday, we get a spread of Noah's bagels with various schmears. My absolute favorite one was the SDT bagel with SDT schmear. So good. Another coworker also loves the same combination -- we have bonded over this a number of times -- and we were both very put out when a few weeks ago, we stopped getting SDTBs. I thought maybe it was a temporary thing, but we have had no SDTBs for 3 weeks! I thought maybe our admin didn't realize that it was a beloved bagel, so today I sent her a fun little email requesting the return of the SDTBs. She was amused and called Noah's to put it back on our lineup... and that when they gave her the bad news. No more SDTBs. Ever.
WHY NOAH'S WHY?!?!
I've tried using their contact form to express my sadness, but it keeps erroring out. Obviously, they have been so inundated with SDT bagel lovers expressing their outrage that we've broken the system. There's even a Facebook group dedicated to petitioning Noah's for the return of the SDT bagel. If you also love the SDT bagel, join the group and/or write to Noah's!

I have this little garden bed right next to the garage that is growing nothing but weeds at the moment. I thought about planting tomatoes or blueberries or something there, but I've decided to make it a little perennial herb patch. Herbs are more low key than fruit, so I wouldn't have to worry that it might be too tempting for my neighbors to resist taking them, and it will be nice to have fresh herbs around all year. I've settled on rosemary, thyme, sage, and marjoram. I considered mint, but apparently it's really aggressive and as it's not something I use that often, I don't want to have to use a lot of effort to keep it under control. Maybe I will pot some. It's back to Flower World this weekend!

I live in an unincorporated area. I received a postcard saying that they are considering annexing our area to the City proper. Not sure how I feel about it.
