My first-grade experience must have brought on a fascination with the cheese
and pimento. When I was married in the 50's (not to DH), we used to go to
visit m-i-l on some weekends. As soon as we got there, out would come the
plates and bread and this cheese-pimento spread. Deceased Husband (how can
I write that as DH?) loved this cheese, and we wondered how she made this
great cheese spread. Duh!

One day I happened by accident into the food cellar and there she was with a
big chunk of long-horn - remember that? -- grinding it through a sausage
grinder with those little jars of pimentos opened up that she was putting it
through with the cheese. I never let on; I figured we had to have a sausage
grinder to make it.
