I LOVE grits, but you can't buy them in Canada. Denny's serves them, but nobody here knows how to cook them properly.

Your right about that FD, you gotta know how to cook them right. My mom was from Louisiana, we had grits pretty often.

morning rj
morning everyone:frow

grits used to be a thing of the south, corn dried and ground up fine, boiled with a little salt and served with lots of butter or over easy eggs on top, what we had every morning when i was growing up, sometimes momma would make mater gravy to put over them , along with white meat(fat back or sowbelly) or left over fried chicken in gravy, fried mullet(salt water fish) in other words some kind of meat and hand rolled biscuit, that was almost every morning, pancakes were far and few between but a treat
have my husband to love them with tomato gravy or biscuits:D

I didn't know they were the same until Alton Brown did a show about it. Same grain, way different cooking methods.

For me it's about consistency...not too watery and not too stiff.

Funny story about my SIL...her and my brother travel a lot and they like to eat at a chain that specializes in breakfast. SIL always orders a side of grits and is always disappointed in them. But she keeps ordering them anyway in the hopes some where, some time someone will cook the grits right. Weird! :lol:

Maybe explain the way chain and Franchise restaurants work-- The Quality Control across the organization aims to make the food the same at all of them. Crappy grits at all locations LOL....

I hope it isn't this humid on Christmas Eve or the kids will take even longer to get to sleep than usual and they'll be grumpy for Christmas Day. Poor DS last night ended up in tears because he was just so hot and so tired.

Christmas at mid summer. I know it seems normal to you but to those of us "up here", really weird!

Glad Papa fantail and babies have reappeared. And I hope your nerve thing gets better. If it could be Bell's Palsy it might be worth doing some research. From what I've found there is no definitive cause, test nor treatment, it goes away over time. Don't you just LOVE a disease like that??
