The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

We've been having a terrible run on break ins around here.
Last week someone's truck got broken into, & someone else had his home broken into. The next night they hit a few more houses. One woman even woke up to someone shining a flashlight in her face! The next afternoon the RCMP found someone hiding in a shed & had the dogs out trying to find 2 more men. They didn't catch them. That was about 1km north of me.

The night before last they hit about 6km south of me. They robbed a house & stole a jeep. They rammed the gate of another place and stole a bunch of stuff from there.

Are they targeting unoccupied dwellings ?

Some the occupants aren't home, some they are.

Time to ready the shotgun.

i can't read, husband would wake up with the light on

That is why there are doors on bathrooms

I think grits are disgusting. But then I never ate them as a kid.

I've never had grits. Somehow the name isn't all that appetizing, my chickens need grit but I don't But if I were to try them it sounds like I better be in the south and find a person/place that knows how to prepare them.

I actually eat grits with brown sugar, butter & cream. I too didn't know any better, but I love them that way.

i love cream of wheat with lots of butter, sugar and cream, can't eat it anymore since i became a diabetic but still love it, but then, haven't met to many foods i don't love grits i grew up eating from the time i could handle a spoon, momma fed me before, we had grits,fried eggs, white meat(salt pork) or sometimes bacon or if any left over meat from supper, momma would warm it up in gravy and her biscuits, momma was a good cook

I'm the same. Hot tea with honey, iced tea unsweetened & coffee black, dark & bold.

sounds perfect to me

, thats why he gets up so often
if you're going to try them, yes, someone who knows how, also don't just eat them plain or you will never like them, i started husband off with grits drowned in butter or over easy eggs cut up into them, he added salt and pepper and a hot biscuit, grits might be one of those foods that are a acquired taste, husband now likes his grits but hates homey, yet both are dried corn to start

That would be enough to make me nervous. Hope they are caught soon!

would make me have a gun on my side of the bed, along with husbands side

I have a bradley electric smoker It sits inside a little building that looks a LOT like an outhouse. DS started a fire in it a couple of years ago by accident, but it did a lot of damage.
Hi Michelle, have a great day and stay safe

i think when we butcher will have to have something to smoke the bacons and hams and theres no where close that cures so we either have to learn or leave it as fresh meat

Think polenta with a totally different preparation. Alton Brown did a nice good eats episode where he showed the difference in preparation with the same grain. And, absolutely, you want someone who really understands how to make them to try them. I hated them until I found myself down south.
