What's the deal with pumpernickel bagels? They're just about my favorite, but it seems like they're fairly uncommon here. Are they that much harder to make, or are they just not popular enough to justify making a second dough when you could be using your regular dough and using new toppings to expand your variety?

So, New York has Katz’s Deli that gets a lot of attention. Is there an authentic Jewish Deli in the general area of Seattle (preferable, parts north) that slings an awesome or at least good Pastrami sandwich and Matzoh Ball Soup?

I recently paid $11 for tub of cream cheese at Salmonberry Goods...and then I saw cream cheese at Macrina for $8. Better but still high. What is up with cream cheese prices lately!?

Wife, Phyllis, very particular about source of shabbat challah. Several choices in Seattle. Might be interesting, Sean, to consider weekly review of challah. She's be the one to explore with. Update regarding our bagel boat, Challah Day. Was sold to a 102 year old gentleman and his grandson. They love it and we are pleased to know that the boat will continue to be in good hands.
