Bagels again...

I'm still working on the bagels I mentioned earlier (they take a while since the dough has to rise twice). I tried out a new recipe (for plain bagels. Not berry bagels), and I kind of wish I hadn't. Along with being a new recipe, there was new instructions, which didn't work out so well. It had me heat the oven to 400*, and the bagels quickly began to burn. I checked my old recipe which said 375*, so I turned down the oven. Only the bottoms of the bagels are burned, so I think they should be fine. Jeremy will do the taste test for me later.
Now I'm making my old recipe, but I added in some raspberries. It made the entire dough a pink color, which Luke and I decided looks like a brain. I was hoping that the raspberries turn out to be a good addition, but I hadn't voiced that, and just said "I hope it tastes good". Luke was immediately concerned that we'd just been talking about how it looked like a brain, and then I said that. I guess he must have been afraid I'd turned into a brain-eating zombie. Luckily I haven't!
