As we turned on the TV to watch Saturday afternoon college football, the analyst came on with his pregame show. Every week he visits a local restaurant in the town of the home team and shares his dining experiences. What an awesome job he has.

Pimento Cheese Dip is such a treat. I think because it’s made with love. The same kind of love that goes into homemade Egg Salad or Tuna Salad. You know the kind where the ingredients are finely diced, seasoned just right, and brought together with a little mayonnaise love.
