Southern Ingredients

Dear Friends I wanted to share a recipe from my southern roots.  I was born in Alabama but was raised in NC and I call North Carolina home,  my father still lives there with two of my brothers and their families.  At work I talk to people all over the US and instantly they know I'm from the south, I wonder why?  I tell them, "You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.  A very true statement for me, I left a small country town on a greyhound bus from Hamlet, NC to Atlanta, GA.  No job, no car, just family who took me in at eighteen years old.  I'm very proud to be born and raised in the south and just cause I sound southern doesn't mean I don't love pink!

Just a little history and would like to share a southern recipe with a few ingredients from the South.  Pimento Cheese, "The caviar of the South."  Dukes Mayonnaise is a southern spread or condiment created by Mrs. Eugenia Duke at Dukes sand which shop in Grenville, SC, in 1917, talk about a woman entrepreneur!  Hot sauce was used a lot at my house growing up and there was only one brand, Texas Pete!  Texas Pete was introduced in 1929 by Sam Garner, operator of the Dixie Pig barbecue stand in Winston Salem, North Carolina.  NC is famous for its BQ.  I make a pretty good BQ, myself.  Reeveles we love you!  A short sweet recipe for pimento cheese, enjoy! So easy,ingredients pictured. If your wondering what the Tablescape is, it's from my post "Pouring Spring", it Fall Y'all, yea but cheese is great anytime time of the year...Vintage sandwich plate, cookie cutters come in handy every season. Stay tune, I have a great before and after next week!
