A bit of food fun....

So on my Google feed up comes " ____ best bagel shops in NYC " the ____ being the number of.
The nearest dedicated bagel shop is two buses away from me (mid western Bronx) in Washington Hgts. I haven't been there ?this year, but they had good ones previously. Will double check they're still around, but they're next to a big medical complex so they should be.
.
Nothing in The Bronx is anywhere near me. While in ?middle Riverdale (not the highest, most north); looks closer - it's a much more winding 2 bus (maaaybe 3) route than the other easy Manhattan one.
.
While it's made me half crave a bagel - luckily, I have something just as good; a tasty, big, white pizza slice in the fridge! A good pizza shop 3 blocks from me.
.
And for 3 more late snacks over the few days I have extra sharp white cheddar, chilli powder to sprinkle on, tostados (triagular corn chips), and limes I can spritz some juice on. The reason the lime juice has come "into play"; is for first time the week before there weren't any regular tostados, but the "tostados with a touch of lime" (think it's lime *powder). Well, I love lime juice - so ok! So now I really like the additional lime, but they didn't have them yesterday.
.
And I picked up a smallish not quite ripe Haas avocado so I have these nice ingredients to add to it. 👍

If the avocado works out - might be an occasional treat. I'm in assisted living so 3 meals/day plus snacks, (no abocado toadt 😄 ). But bc I stay up.late 2AMish m+&quot aiming back for 12:30AM-i 1AMsh) I need a hefty snack 10PM -11PM.
.
*guessing lime powder bc I brought the bowl nearer to me crunch up the chips more, and pretty sure some powder got in my nose - bc it felt very small (quite smaller than teeny chip pieces), powdery, and 😄 tangy! Had to wipe it out before I sneezed.

My pizza awaits, I do like it cold enough - as the dough gets soggy in thre micro wave 😑 Ahh, well.
