Tidbits - Recommendations and Other Things
Last night I told E3 about a pseudo-event I had forgotten about. The kick-off for Stone Brewing Co. in Atlanta hosted at Taco Mac Metropolis. We headed out at the last minute. I was already in shorts and a tank for the night and had to change back. Honestly, it was any other night at Taco Mac Metropolis. Just add home brew geeks everywhere. I had the Stone Pale Ale which was very good. However, there were two incompetent, oblivious bartenders and service was terrible.
Fox Bros BBQ is a great place to take someone when they are hung over. I took someone there and they loved it. And I loved the collard greens. Brought the rest of my food home to E3.
Decorated for Halloween in a glam-ish, skull kind of way.
Hated almost every outfit from the Emmy’s that I saw on People.
Bobby’s Pimento Cheese from Paula Deen is the best pimento cheese you will ever eat. Even better as a grilled cheese. I made it for out of towners who had never had it over the weekend and they could not stop eating it!
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 to 3 tablespoons pimentos, smashed
1 teaspoon grated onion
Cracked black pepper
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. It can be used as a dip for crudite or as a sandwich filling.
On Thursday, Sandpiper is having the stylist from J Brand come to town. 10-1 at City Walk. 2-8 at Vinings. Unless, something unfortunate happens, I am going. Even though, unless your name is Rachel Zoe, I don’t need your help. 
Going to go get my ass kicked at yoga tomorrow night. Again.
I am glad to know Bobby’s pimento cheese recipe is good. I wanted to try it.
Enjoy your week!
mmm, pimento cheese on a grilled cheese? that sounds fab.
Just wanted you to know that based on my reading this post earlier today, I was forced to locate a pimento sandwich for lunch. Just as delicious as I’d remembered, so thanks for the reminder & recipe.
On the Stone Brew note, their stuff is excellent; try “Arrogant Bastard Ale” too if you feel like a stronger beer. I’ve actually met the owner a few times, a very nice guy from my hometown, so I try to promote them when I can.
You’ve been so busy! LOVE pimento cheese although I usually leave out the pimentos- so I guess I should say I love cheese and mayonnaise?
Sorry about your caffeine issues! That’s brutal! Can you trick your brain by drinking decaf?
So glad you posted this!!! I had these at a friends months ago as grilled cheese and wanted to do it ever since!
The pimiento cheese sounds good though it’s probably a diet wrecker. Good to know the Deens are being allowed to make things that taste good! That is until Paula takes that pimiento grilled cheese and deep fries it. You KNOW it’s coming - a Pimiento Monte Cristo!
