Recipes: Dillapeno over Pimento Cheese

Image result for word great images

It was GREAT to be back at TFM!!!  Seeing all my friends (TFM employees and customers) was exciting.  I spoke with Drew this morning and he's giving me back a few hours.  I'm in NY right now (visiting Mom and Dad), but will plan food sampling for September 3rd.  Delicious, fun, food for Labor Day celebrations.  I hear there are a lot of changes going on at the store (ie. Dietz and Watson in Deli).  Let's not forget it's Hatch Chili season! I'll have to incorporate what I can into my samplings.  So much to sample.  So few hours (on the clock).

This past Saturday, having not been sampling food for so long, I needed to do something different.  I took a chance with Dillapeno over Pimento Cheese.  NOTE: Dillapeno wasn't the chance - that's always a delicious hit - pairing it with pimento cheese was what I questioned.  Customers enjoyed the creaminess of the cheese with the sweet spice of Dillapeno.  YUM!

Hope to see you September 3rd!  (P.S.  Read this September 3rd before you head out.  You know how my schedule/plans can change in an instant.)
