Pimento Cheese: Dip, Sandwich or All-Purpose Life-Fixer

Sometimes you just want cheese-spread on Ritz crackers.  Sometimes you want to serve it to company and sometimes you want to be alone with your schmear-y treat and brown sleeve of crackers.  Sometimes you want to make it into a sandwich and grill it up in a pan.  Sometimes you want it on a burger.  Just this minute I realized you could lovingly spread it on hot fries – how insanely good would that be???

Because cheese has a way of filling any void — physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, political, you name it — like no other substance known to man.  And spreadable cheese is culinary soul-spackle.

The only advice I have to add to this recipe is do NOT add salt without tasting.  Between the cheese and the celery salt it is plenty salty and be especially careful if you are pairing with a salty cracker.
