Rotisserie chicken is a good example, especially because it's always half price after 7 pm.
That would be awesome! I'm totally jealous as I've never seen that anywhere around me. Most stores are still pretty busy, even at 8 or 8:30. I should ask next time I'm in if they have a discount window.
Yeah, I can usually get a whole roasted chicken OR fried chicken pieces at a steep discount late in the day. Sometimes I can get ribs too. Other times nothing's left -- it's not like you can count on it 100% of the time.
Recipe for pimento cheese spread, please? Mine always sucks.
Recipe? It's kind of like chicken salad -- you just make it.
General idea:
2 small or 1 large block of cheddar cheese -- NEVER that nasty shredded stuff; do you know what they put on it to keep it separated into shreds? Preferably extra-sharp; some people like to use 1/2 cheddar /1/2 Montrey Jack, but I'm an all-cheddar girl.
Quality of the cheese matters. When I make homemade cheddar, my pimento cheese ROCKS.
1/2 a package of cream cheese and/or a good blob of mayonnaise -- how much? Enough.
1 jar of pimentos, drained
Beyond that, it's a choice:
Some onion, chopped super-fine -- not too much, but I never skip this
Maybe a little red pepper
Maybe a dash of Worcestershire sauce, preferably homemade
Maybe a touch of green onion -- chopped super-fine
Some people like jalapeno in theirs, and I'll eat it, but I don't make it that way myself.
Now, if you want something very Southern and
downright delicious, make yourself a good home-grilled burger . . . and top it with Fried Green Tomatoes and a good gollop of homemade Pimento Cheese. Add a little Mississippi ComeBack sauce, and that's good eatin'.
realizing that I can buy a few capers at the bulk olive section instead of paying a fortune for a glass jar of them.
I did not know that! Of course, I go through capers like crazy, so I'd actually want more than a few.
