Last year husband went to the Masters at the “most beautiful place on earth” for the “best vacation of his life.” So much for the honeymoon in paradise! Sadly he’s back at home watching in on TV again this year, so I’ve decided we’re having Pimento Cheese sandwiches for lunch to make him feel a little bit better about it.

It seems the actual Augusta National Pimento Cheese Recipe is a highly guarded secret. But from some internet sleuthing, I’ve found one that seems to be a popular recreation. From the picture taken of the authentic sandwich, it looks to me like the secret is keeping the Pimento Cheese nice and simple – nothing fussy, sharp cheddar, mayo and pimentos on white bread. Have an Arnold Palmer to drink for extra golf fun. (You might need to add a splash of vodka to stay entertained by the golf on TV if you’re like me.)
Apparently sandwiches are still a steal at $1.50 at Augusta National!
