GMAT & Pizza Bagels

Posted by Zerok - February 9th, 2009


Featured below are the nutritional components of the pizza bagels I heralded last blog, for those interested.

Some of you may have read about my ambitions for grad school and landing an MBA. Well, on the 17th of this month I'm scheduled to write the GMAT. This standardized test will help determine my eligibility for most MBA programs. The one I want requires a 550 (out of 800), but I hope to do better than that for scholarship purposes, since I cannot afford the tuition as it stands now.

Last year I bought a big thick GMAT prep 'n' study book, which includes a ton of test examples and detailed explanations of said examples, as well as six practice tests. Now, the real GMAT is a computer adaptive test so the practice tests in the book aren't designed in the same way, but I'll be taking them for skill-building purposes. I'll be tracking my progress on this blog: exciting, I know!

There's an essay writing component that I can't mark myself, but I can mark the other components.

So yeah, wish me luck; hope my scores improve!

So delicious and gorgeous.

And the bagels aren't bad too.

Dawww shucks.

i know grammer isnt spelling -.-

but grammer nazis tend to pick up on spelling mistakes as well

:3

There are very few real "Grammar Nazis." I'd bet 9/10 of the people you assume to be "Grammar Nazis" have only very basic grammatical awareness. It's incorrect spelling, improper word use and apostrophe misuse that people pick up on.

Haha, awesome, nutrition facts. I wasn't saying they're something I wouldn't eat, just that healthy foods have more in the way of green vegetables and lean protein than carbs, typically. 1.4 grams of sodium could be avoided too.

All this said: that close up is killin' me. Looks like the back of that plate cooked better than the front, pepperoni's best with that slight searing.

It's the bloody pepperoni, saltwise. But you can't live without it! Well, actually, a three cheese one of these things would probably be awesome.

I keep forgetting to sprinkle our "real" bacon bits onto one of these before cooking. >:|

Sadly, i think both a Whopper & A big mac are WAY fattier than your invention zerok...

Probably. And they're not my inventions :O

you should speak to someone about maybe marketing those, and sell wm for say $2 a pop? you'd make a killing
(sorry for the double)

Ha, I don't think that'd a great entrepreneurial idea. It would take too long for the profits to pay off the startup costs, and by then the novelty would've worn off. And that's not even considering the time cost.

yea, i guess your right

zerok you fat fuck why care about the calories

People asked.

I fed my family the pizza bagels for lunch the other day, and they loved it.
Thanks for the recipe, I shall use it for future reference.

Excellent, the bagels are spreading!

I've never been more hungry in my life... What I wouldn't give to eat those...

They're cheap and easy, you need not make any substantial sacrifices!
