When my neighbor heard my menu for today's pond-warming party, she was all excited that I'm making Southern food! I guess transplanted Southerners miss a little bit of their down-South cuisine. So I'm surprising her with just a little bit more of home. Read more ....pimiento cheese! Oh, and the rest of the menu is Carolina-style pulled pork, coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, and a host of other goodies and sweets. Thank goodness it will be a beautiful day in Pittsburgh! (from Southern Living)
