    I am sorry too that people were so viscous. I have known of the cooking and have not been following these years
    but all that happens…closing of that restaurant seems a lot of much to do about nothing. she was honest,
    where was the crime? And I see it a bit like Martha Steward, attach on powerful, wealth outspoken women.
    Things change yet in many ways they remain the same.

    blessing to all and peace be in your hearts
    make peace with yourself ……some other folks will
    never be satisfied

    I have family from NC, and have been eating pimento cheese since I was a little girl. Here are my suggestions to make it more like the recipes that I’ve tasted down there:

    Sub Miracle Whip for the mayonnaise, and use 2 cups of the sharp cheddar and leave out the Monterey Jack. I’d also add 1/4 tsp. of Tabasco sauce to accentuate the cheddar flavor. Never heard of adding cream cheese, but I will try it.
