Carla's boyfriend, Eric, is raiding her kitchen in search of a meal: E: Bagels! But, I'm ravenous!5 I'm not a baby whining for a teething ring! Don't you have something less mundane?6 C: Bagels are far from ordinary! Once, people even used to sing songs about them! E: A bagel kicking up a song and dance7—now I've heard everything! C: It's true. People in Russia thought they brought good luck and possessed magical powers. E: Don't you think that's a bit over the top? C: I don't know, but I do know what to put on top of a bagel to make it a tantalizing treat. E: I doubt that! A bagel will always be just a hard piece of bread! C: When we're finished preparing these strawberries and cream bagels you're going to eat humble pie!8 Help me mix a quarter cup of mashed strawberries with half a cup of cottage cheese and a teaspoon of sugar. E: OK. Let me guess, we now spread this on the four toasted bagel halves and top them with the sliced strawberries. C: That's right! Wow, they look good enough to frame! But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so taste one. E: That's unreal! I had no idea bagels could taste so heavenly. |

Sentence of the Day: They broke bread. 他们在用餐。 卡拉的男友埃里克,正在她的厨房里找东西吃: 埃里克:只有面包圈!但我快饿死了,不像婴儿只想找“磨牙饼”而已!你还有其他东西没有,可以填肚子的? 卡拉:别小看面包圈,以前人们还曾经歌颂它呢! 埃里克:唱歌跳舞赞颂一只面包圈——这说法可真新鲜! 卡拉:是真的。俄罗斯人认为它有魔力,还能带来好运。 埃里克:你不觉得这说法有些夸张吗? 卡拉:不知道。但我知道在它上面放些什么原料能使它美味可口。 埃里克:我不信。面包圈始终只是一个硬面包! 卡拉:等我们在面包圈上涂好草莓酱和奶油后,你就无话可说了!帮我把1/4杯捣碎的草莓、半杯家乡口味的奶酪和一茶匙糖混合一下。 埃里克:好。我们是不是把它涂在4份已烤好的半个面包圈上,然后把草莓切片放在上面? 卡拉:没错。哇!它们看起来真不错!不过口味如何才是最重要的,尝一尝吧。 埃里克:不可思议,我从未料到面包圈这么好吃! |
