Notes

If one can, this is much better after an hour in the refrigerator, if one can't  it is still damned good
This is a take on a childhood  memory, pimento cheese spread, but updated to match my growing taste for spice.
One can sub pimento stuffed olives for the pimentos, drop the pickles for pickled jalapenos for an extra kick.
It's great as a stuffing for raw veggies, and works well as the cheese component of a grilled cheese.
