My co-worker has his own bread blog now (http://www.yeastybeasty.wordpress.com), and perusing through it, I noticed a recipe for bagels. It didn't look too difficult, so I decided that would be my project for the weekend.
You need to start the night before in order to have them ready for breakfast. I'm not going to narrate much, look at his blog for the actual instructions.
So here we go:
Friday Night
: I mixed, kneaded, and shaped the bagels. After that, they go in the refrigerator overnight.

Saturday Morning: First, I boil them.
Next, I bake them:
Finally, it's time to slice and eat them.

so, how were they? how do they compare to bagels in town?
Those look great!
I was a little confused on your friend's instructions. The first instructions, is that creating the sponge?
Great job!
They turned out great! The kind I had in Montreal were a bit lighter, so I'm guessing that might be more authentic, but these are definitely as good as any in Portland.
Don't worry about the term "sponge," it is just the first step in the dough creation process. Make the "sponge," as instructed, and then follow the directions as written, i.e. add more flour to it, honey, more yeast, etc.
