Pimento cheese this is the way I learned to make it.I get one half pound of yellow american cheese from deli and get them to cut a chunk not sliced.I take that home and grate that,then I add 1 small jar of diced pimentos that's about 4 ounces with all the liquid- do not drain- then I add about one half cup of mayonnaise maybe more and lots of black pepper and stir up till creamy.When I made mine I ended up with a little over 2 cups.This is the way we use to make it at a school I worked at many years ago.Hope you like it.

Today I tried a new recipe Basic sourdough bread from King Arthur.I've never used so much starter in a recipe it used 2 cups to 2 and a half cups of flour.It called for some yeast but I didn't add that as I wanted true sourdough.So it took longer to rise but that's OK.I started at 8:30am and had it baked at 4:30pm.It was very light in color but done and had good chewy crust and soft inside.Taste was good so I'm happy,only thing is when I formed a log for the 9x5 pan when it rose it split on top but that's OK too.I'll keep working at it.I've tried several recipes and haven't found one I want to say will be my go to recipe.I slashed it on top but I don't think it rose enough as it was just over the top of the pan.
