Food Nostalgia

As early back as I can remember, the two foods that define the memory of my Grandma Ellen for me are pimento cheese and boiled peanuts. Not eaten together, of course. She grew up in the South and epitomized a true southern woman. Rarely did I go to her house an their wasn't homemade pimento cheese and sweet tea.

Mom made boiled peanuts today that took me back to my younger days. Funny how food has that effect. Apparently, boiled peanuts aren't as common to folks as I know them to be. To me, they're heaven.
