  1. Love!!! This is a classic, some people have tried to change this recpie. If it's not broken why fix it. Thanks for posting.....will be making this again.
     
  2. This is the Real Deal. Iconic pimento cheese. Ideally served cold approximately 3T between 2 pieces of hot crispy toast. Sliced diagonally. That's it. OK - a side of homemade tomato soup is OK with it. Any recipes that do not embrace the smooth deliciousness of American cheese & mayo do no justice to the the sweet delicate taste of pimento (it's there for more than color). Your ratios are great. We like our cheese in shreds so I very nearly freeze the block & then shred. We also will go for a twist of black pepper on the sandwich but nothing else. Thanks for posting the Real Deal.
     
  3. So easy and yummy too! Who knew 3 ingredients would be so yummy? I served on a warm biscuit and it was great, and had the rest with crackers. Thanks! Made for Newest Zaar tag.

I am a retired school teacher and live in Hemingway, South Carolina, which is about 40 miles from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I taught Family and Consumer Sciences(formerly,Home Economics). I now work at the Boys &amp; Girls Club of America here in my hometown. I also am a substitute teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher. <BR><BR>I enjoy cooking, especially for friends and family. I even prepare meals for my co-workers and take to work. They really enjoy them. Some foods I prepare, they have never had. My biggest meal of the year is at Christmas. Since I am not married and no children, my mother (since my father passed in 2003) and brother and his family comes for Christmas dinner. He has 8 children (whom are all grown up) and 7 grandchildren. So, I begin preparing,making the menu, buying items for dinner the day after Thanksgiving. <BR><BR><BR><IMG
