I AM a Southerner

My poor little abandoned blog is such a lonely little corner! Life's at full speed and something had to give, but I was inspired to check in here when I discovered a heretofore unknown passion for pimento cheese.

Grocery store pimento cheese gives me the willys... it's so, so ORANGE. I have Michigan transplant parents so pimento cheese didn't make an appearance on my childhood menus. Thanks to the aforementioned parents, I've always been not quite a sure enough Southerner. That was until I met HOMEMADE pimento cheese. Oh dear golly that stuff rocks!

A tub of this nectar was featured as lunch rations on a dive trip to the Keys last week and I nearly embarassed myself with how much I liked it. So much so, that I came home and googled away to discover a recipe so that I might have pimento cheese for my own self. This may take a while to perfect, but the first batch is in the fridge, so I'm on my way to unlocking the secrets.

mmmm, cheesy goodness!
