cheese whiz

Decided it was time to prepare the freezer for summer.  The freezer is overstocked--not necessary with good stuff either!  When something in the frig starts to go bad, into the freezer it goes.  Then comes the day, when there is time to sort through that freezer stuff, you can find all sorts of  possible eatables'! 

 Put on your gloves--you're going to need them--otherwise, it's cold cold hands and you're trying to warm those little mittens up every few minutes.  Or the darn freezer alarm goes off--buzz, buzz, buzz--and if you leave that door open too long and don't heed the warmings, the power shuts off and bam! darkness--can't find a thing then! 

On a recent boring day (yes, in my book, it's a boring chore to sort out the freezer), the gloves are pulled on, counter space was cleared,  ready to dig into that vast mass of what??  Who knows what was thrown into that dark conveniet space?  Pull out bits of bags--wth is that?  There are bits of chopped something; closer inspection, it's green onions--well, that makes sense.  

This is the day I could use that--

next out--plastic wrapped small bits of  white/and yellow cheese; chopped cooked bacon, bread of all kinds--hamburger/hotdog buns, keto, white, brown bread, rolls, biscuits, etc.  must be dried out by now.

An idea formed in my pea brain--I'll make pimento cheese spread!  Yes, what a clever idea!  I have those cheese bits, chopped green onions and bacon--oh, yea!  there is a small jar of pimentos in frig--surprised, it isn't in the freezer.  Dig some more to find frozen cream cheese!   

Shut the freezer door!  I"m done sorting! onto conquer pimento cheese

All the ingredients are gathered--just need some help grating the cheese--"oh honey!  Are you busy? "  he grates so much better than I.  
Mix, mix, mix--taste. add more of this, more of that--till it is just perfect!


Every true Southerner loves pimento cheese spread--if you are tired of of using it as spread, make grill cheese sandwiches or quesadillas,   Add to your eggs in the morning.  Or one of the many ways described here

That was a good way to clean out the refreezer!  Although, it didn't make a dent in freezer space!  I'll try again on another boring day!

Beginnings of New Year Ideas

I'm already thinking about the new year and new beginnings--2024 was a lost year as far as new quilt starts--there was not a one began. ...
