I have to tell you this funny story. I am a true Southerner through and through and could not be prouder of it. In looking at Bobby's Pimneto Cheese....I love pimento cheese and being from Roanoke, grew up on it, my Mother used to make ours homemade. Sooo good...well I moveed to N. VA. many years ago around Wash. D. C. and went into the grocery store looking for pimento cheese in those containers you know.....and I could not find any...so I asked a young person at the check out...did they not have any pimento chesse. and their expression changed very little...that blank stare...deer in the headlights look....and I said ...you know pimneto cheese it comes in the comtainer and is usually in the dairy or cheese section...and they said...what is pimento cheese? Can you believe it?...I explained it was creamy with cheese and mayo probably with pimentos and I like a little sweetness in mine a bit of sweet pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles...finally they got pimento cheese in N. VA...and of course I am back in Southern VA. now...and it is readily available if you do not want to make your own....but our own is always much better....thanks for sharing. Love you guys. Suzanne Byrd - a True fan.

The sandwiches are a good idea. Raw onion on a sandwich made for a young person? Grade school? Junior or high school? Not practical. What's with that Paula? You are a Mom. Did you make sandwiches like this for your boys when they were in school with a generous portion of raw onion on them? Sincerely, Ann Lawrence, Greenville SC

Wow...are you still allowed to send peanut butter to schools? It is completely band in Canada - no schools allow any nut products. It makes things a bit difficult when you have a picky eater that just happens to love all nuts and seeds. Love your recipes, Niki

Hi Paula! Great article! I am always having trouble figuring out what to send my son for school lunches. They are not allowed to bring anything with nuts, and on top of that.. my son is on a low sodium diet because of his heart. I am finding it extremely difficult to come up with fun sandwich ideas that don't involve peanut butter or too much sodium. Do you have any ideas that could help me? Anything is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Paula you are my hero. I'm so proud of the way you put that arrogant Yankee Carpetbagger in his place. From one southern girl to another- "You Go Girl". He wouldn't know good cooking if it flew up and hit him square in the face. He'd better watch his P's & Q's. You've got couple of big ole son's who could easily open up a can of woop a$$ on him. Love you Paula.

How about a recipe for a better world? My friend, an AWESOME, teacher, posted this and who better to share with moms and kids of America but you! Special request to all kids returning to school in the next few days: If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes -PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life! PLEASE RE-POST FOR OUR CHILDREN

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
