Give me some cheese dip!

As a recent transplant to the mid-west, there are several things I miss about home; friends and family are of course number one but here are the rest in order:

1. Cheese dip (why the heck do people not know what this is?!)
2. Being questioned on what kind of tea I’d like- is there anything but sweet?
3. Being reprimanded for saying yes ma’am/sir and no ma’am/sir
4. It being 75 degrees in October.

I mean really, no cheese dip?! Every time I visit the south I always have to have cheese dip, it’s a must! This restaurant summed it up perfectly, “melted silky white cheese.” It’s so good, I feel bad for people that don’t know what it is.
On a side note, I have found out Arkansas takes credit for creating cheese dip. Apparently it was first served in a Mexico Chequito in North Little Rock, AR in 1935. If the owners are still alive, I’d like to say thank you from all of us… also, if you think my rant about cheese dip is silly well, try and go without it… just try.

PS- I’ve recently been telling people that ask where I’m from that I’ve lived in New York City my entire life. You should see the look on their faces.
