Pimento Cheese

This recipe originally came from my sister-in-law, Glenda. It's Artie's favorite. I'm not sure if it's still exactly like she gave it to me?? :-)

16 oz sharp cheddar cheese - grated on medium grate

mayo

bigger jar of pimentos - don't drain, mash them all up

a little salt

combine all above, of course we double or triple this...

tonight we will be eating with celery, crackers and grapes. I couldn't resist after seeing how good they looked in the above picture.

Here's a great post talking about pimento cheese. Notice the mention of the Beacon!!! :-)

~~~ Bobbie at the beach ~~~

Bobbie, Artie's mother, was hilarious in the ocean. It was the first time she had been in the ocean in over 10 years, back before she had both knees replaced. Artie had to walk behind her and make sure the waves didn't knock her down. They both had me rolling....


At the beginning of the video you can see her falling a little, she just kept walking out further and further. It was so freeing for her to be in the water again. The sound is bad - it was so windy that day. As you can tell from Bobbie's death grip on her sun hat.

Artie's family

Here are some pictures of Artie's family. He has such great brothers and sisters. There are seven of them too. His mama got all the same silly questions I did - "you know what causes that don't you?". She even had a man in Sunday school one day tell her that only dumb people had lots of children. Wonder where he is today while she is surrounded by all her grown children who have turned out wonderfully - especially that baby boy!! :-)

The boys are - Terry (tan shirt), Brian (plaid), and Artie and the girls are Carolyn (orange flowery), Kathy (pink), Janice (stripped), and Glenda (blue - Glenda was having a tall moment!) .

Brian lives in Florida but is working towards moving back to SC one day soon and Janice lives in Charlotte now after spending many years in Florida also. Everyone else lives nearby in Boiling Springs and Inman.

Hey, look how cute the guy in the rust colored shirt is!!!!!!!


They are a rowdy bunch, huh? :-)
