The one thing we miss living in the deep South is decent bagels, but that's another story altogether...
I'm a big fan of rosemary bagels with goat cheese spread liberally on them (cream cheese is unacceptable, see Stephen Jenkins' excellent book, Cheese Primer). Starting my morning with a bagel and big mug of white tea is wonderful way to wake up (along with walking our dog, Lily, and updating my blog).
