The weather has been gorgeous all weekend! The temps have hovered in the 70’s and the skies have been blue-blue-blue!
IMO – this is the perfect weather!
After a quick breakfast of mom’s dried fruit and nut bread, we headed out to pick up a special order from Greenfield’s Bagel Bakery .
I get a lot of questions about those rye bagel twists I constantly eat here on TCL. I buy them in Greenville, SC at this bagel shop. My parents actually usually buy and pick up the bagels, so this is my first time visiting the store myself. It was so cute. I want to go back and get bagel sandwiches some time.
Anywho, I asked if they would ship and they seemed to think it was possible. So, if you’re interested in getting your hands on some of your very own rye bagels, give Greenfield’s a call and see if they can work something out for you – 864.987.0064.
I learned something new about my fave bagels on this trip. They’re not called “rye bagels”…they’re actually called “Twisted Sister”. As if it were even possible, now that I know the bagel name, I love them more!
We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and head down town for lunch.
We went to Smoke on the Water.
Our view.
I’m a Southern gal. I love sweet tea. But most recently, I’ve started drinking half sweet / half unsweet tea – a combination that drove me crazy when I was a waitress because to refill such a drink you had to always have 2 pitchers on hand. Sigh…I am that girl. But, I find the sugar levels much more appetizing and try to make up for my annoying drink order by not requiring much in the refill department.
Fresh corn bread.
My mom immediately claimed “the burnt one.” She likes slightly burnt food. We don’t know why, but now I kind of do, too. lol
I was feeling pretty ravenous, so I ordered the smokey turkey and dressing. My dad ordered the same and we got a couple extra sides to make our plates quite the samplers. We had turkey, mushroom gravy, cornbread stuffing, macaroni and cheese, chutney, greens, squash casserole, mashed potatoes, and snap peas.
Sis ordered the bananas foster dessert and let me have a bite. It was really good. I wish I had gotten more than just one bite.
We took a trip through one of my fave stores in Greenville – Cook’s Station – before heading down to Reedy River park.
Here are some photos from our walk:
And even thought the line was out the door, I braved the wait for a small serving of froyo at Blueberry Frog.
I got half bing cherry and plain with kiwi, raspberry, and mochi (my must-have froyo topping – I’m addicted to that sweet chewiness!).
And just look at our new stash of Twister Sister bagels. Good thing these guys freeze well!
Bailey and I are happy to be home and ready for the week ahead. Let’s go!
Look at that blue sky–gorgeous!!
Looks like a beautiful day! I just started drinking iced tea within the last year but I love it unsweetened. I’ve tried sweet tea once or twice and can’t stand it! There’s just something about really strong, unsweetened black tea that keeps me coming back 🙂
I never get sick of pictures of tulips (and having tulips in my house)! It is what makes this time change so totally worth it – Spring is coming!
looks like a fun day 🙂
So jealous. I LOVE Blueberry Frog. I try to go there every time we arer in Greenville (and it’s warm out!) Smoke on the Water is always so delish, too! I never heard of that Bakery with the bagels. I will have to check them out next time I am home! I bet Reedy River Park had a TON of people, with the awesome weather!
Oh yea, the bagel bakery is totally worth a stop next time your in the area! 🙂
I am just so jealous of the beautiful weather you’re having! It’s absolutely gorgeous 🙂
What a beautiful day with tons of beautiful pictures to share! Can I just say that I love that you love bagels so much?!
Of course you can! I heart carbs. 😉
Though I love the outdoors and would say mountains, I HATE the cold weather that often comes with them. For that reason I’d have to go with beach…
Wow that’s a lot of bagels. 🙂 Enjoy
What a gorgeous weekend! Your pictures make me wish I were back in Greenville! My high school was so close to Greenfield’s and I used to stop by on my way to school. This was, of course, way before the whole low carb craze set in and everyone started ordering greasy bowls of meat from a fast food restaurant… And my brother actually proposed to his now-wife @ Reedy River!
It looks like you better guard your bagels from Bailey!
Ooh it’s so beautiful there! What part of Reedy River did he do the proposal?
He asked her on the suspension bridge. Of course she said Yes, who could resist with such beautiful scenery?!
I’m that girl too. I always do half and half with tea. I’m from the south so I can’t go full blown unsweet…but sometimes sweet is too much!
it looks like such a great day! 🙂 i love the blooming tree. so beautiful!
I want some of those trees in my yard! 🙂
Such gorgeous pictures and beautiful weather!
All your pictures of the food make me crave good southern food! Oh how I miss real food!
I lived in Greenville, SC for 4 years while going to Furman Univ. Your pictures of Reedy River Park bring back some great memories!
Aww thanks so much! Furman is a great school. I bet you had a fab time there! Plus you had Pita house in town! Yum!
I love Greenville! My hubby and I went there the weekend we got engaged and have a lot of pictures from Reedy Park of me on the bridge posing with my engagement ring (which was too big) on 🙂
I need to see those photos. 🙂
Hahahahah your bagel haul is awesome!!
