Lunch: Pimento Cheese And Pig Sandwich

At Back In The Day Bakery on Bull Street, in addition to cookies, brownies and cupcakes, they serve delicious sandwiches for lunch. One of these is the pig and pimento cheese sandwich. Pimento cheese is trending as a condiment. I have seen pimento cheese on the menu as a spread for hamburgers, sandwiches or a dip for French fries. Pimento cheese is pretty easy to make at home.  I made it once, and it was delicious. However, it’s the kind of dish that you make to share with people either for a party or a dinner. Most recipes call for cheddar cheese, but I am sure you could substitute other cheeses like Manchego or Gruyere. There’s even a pimento cheese cookbook, Pimento Cheese The Cookbook: 50 Recipes from Snacks to Main Dishes Inspired by the Classic Southern Favorite.

Blueberry Danish

I like blueberries on their own, but I love them in a pastry or dessert. In fact, when I am in a bakery, I will always choose a blueberry danish over an apple or apricot one. Recently I stopped in Savannah Coffee Roasters, and I ate this beautiful blueberry pastry in addition to my coffee. If you love to include berries, check out this round-up of summer berry recipes. Savannah Coffee Roasters is in the historic district of the city near hotels and the civic center. Apparently, they served JLo when she was in Savannah last week for the American Idol auditions.
