Picture this: A bagel, perfectly toasted. Its edges are deep golden brown, the interior still soft and chewy. Perhaps it is an everything bagel. Perhaps it is studded with poppy seeds, or sesame seeds. Perhaps it's even pumpernickel. Maybe you'd rather a bialy, in which case that's fine, too. Picture a generous schmear of smoked trout salad, all creamy and herbaceous and bursting with big flakes of smoked fish and flecks of chive.
Picture this: That smoked trout salad-topped bagel in front of you, right now, next to a steaming mug of coffee, the paper, and nothing before you but a perfect, lazy weekend. Yeah, we're into it—and we bet you are, too.
