They blame a cyber attack from last year. It seems our industries are fair game to foreign hackers who spread ransomware.

Just don't buy refrigerated crescent rolls at Publix. Walmart had only one pack at $1.32 and we needed 2 for a recipe. It cost $5.07 at Publix. Would love for someone to explain how Publix rolls were worth $3.75 more than Walmart's.

It is possible to make your own cream cheese without a lot of trouble. Go to YouTube and search for videos on how to do this. You need milk and a starter. Starters can be bought online (e.g. Amazon).

The cream cheese you make will be much healthier due to lack of preservatives. But it won't keep for too many days. Imagine - needing to finish cream cheese :)

I make my own yogurt with the same starter (how it is prepared determines if it becomes cream cheese, cottage cheese or yogurt when you start with milk....the same starter works for all, except cottage cheese needs a little vinegar.)

Toasted plain bagel with crunchy peanut butter and jelly. May not be kosher, but better than toaster pastries.

Peanut butter on a bagel is fine, if you simply want peanut butter on a bagel...

I'll even do tuna on a toasted bagel...

But a bagel with a "schmear" is a gift from god...

Even better is a bagel with cream cheese, lox and a slice of tomato.
Of course, a toasted bagel with cream cheese and grape jelly or strawberry preserves is great also.

I got the last container of cream cheese at my Publix in NW Florida a couple of weeks back - they were completely out of all of the flavored varieties and there was one tub of plain that I grabbed. I had no idea that there was a widespread cream cheese shortage.

Gatorade and fruit juice seems to be chronically low stocked, too.

cream cheese, belly lox, sliced raw red onion, capers. And a quart of water with lemon to rehydrate you after consuming enough salt to preserve a dead horse.

Absolutely perfect! At Brookly Water Bagel it's called a "Williamsburg", except they have tomato and no capers (A situation I have them correct when I order one)

Helps when it is a good tomato.

Nova lox? I'm listening...

A bagel, cream cheese and jelly is great when I go to the diner down the street for eggs...

I worked at two Kosher Deli's in DC when I was in College. I learned to hand slice Lox...

Plus, it's part of my religion. You can find it in the Torah... :icon_wink:
