About a week ago I was really craving something familiar. Iwouldn’t say I was homesick exactly, just a little wistful. I was enjoying all the things New Orleans had to offer that were different from my home-grounds but still feeling that tiny tug in my heart for normal.
My thoughts turned to food, as they often do, and I remembered that my favorite restaurant in Athens , GA
Those who know me well know I am referring to Marti’s at Midday. Y’all. There is an over abundance of great dining options in Athens but Marti’s always and forever will be my favorite. In fact, I love it so much I had them cater my wedding and have never regretted that decision.
On a given weekday you will find people lined up out the door for homemade pita chips, to-die-for chicken salad, soups of all kinds,knock-your-socks-off mint sweet tea, and my personal fave… pimento cheese; the quintessential southern lunch food.
So you know where this is going….
I made some.
Something I had never done before.
And am so glad I did.
Matter of fact, you should too.
In a thought, perfect taste of familiar.

I never liked Pimento Cheese growing up, but now days if it is homemade with good quality ingredients, I love it! Gonna give this one a try :)
