Philip-I am crazy in love with your lion in red: deep in red leaves. What a beautiful photo. Make it available on Pinterest? It's so much fun. I'll make some pimento cheese to snack on whilst pinning!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves look good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try your recipe. I always thought I would like pimento cheese but it never tastes like I think it will. I've never tried home made.
I love that image of the lion surfing through bright red leaves. Also, thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteVeggie soup and pimento cheese. Yum A great way to recharge after fighting the elements. I love pimento cheese. I don't know why I rarely make it. I have been inspired. I will make some for the snackers on Thanksgiving day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the lion in the first picture is going to be covered over in leaves pretty soon. We fight the leaves here too. The yard guys come and clear them out and the next day we are covered again. You are right about the pimento cheese-once you have homemade, store bought just won't cut it any more. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade pimento cheese. I even roast red peppers and make my own pimentos. That makes it extra delicious.

ReplyDeleteYUM :)
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are gorgeous...
and the cheese looks and sounds so yummy, I may try it myself!
You will have to give us the recipe for the fruit cake...it sounds delicious!
From the title, I was looking for the leaves in a recipe -- like you had something useful to do with your fallen leaves. Oh well. The cheese sounds good enough the way it is, and I will surely give it a try. :-)

That recipe looks delicious, Phillip! And your red leaves are scrumptious, too!
ReplyDeletePimento cheese sandwiches (on soft mushy white bread) were a staple in my lunch box growing up.
ReplyDeleteThat carpet of leaves truly is stunning.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Phillip, I want to eat those leaves too. Seriously stunning!
ReplyDeleteMA, thanks, I just added the photo to Pininterest.
ReplyDeleteHow tall and old is that tree, Phillip? That's a pretty wide swath of leaves from a Japanese Maple.
ReplyDeleteThat tree is at least 15 years old. It has a spread of about 20 ft. (I'm guessing).
