Oh man! I was so busy yesterday, I missed it. But, I always struggle with what to have for breakfast -- now I know. This morning before I go to church I better find some. I may just have to try some of the Cowboy Chip Dip too. I'm sure that would enhance the PITA effect.

Oh, DUH. Jeez was I slow yesterday or what.

dang yankees and your crazy breads

Just file them all under "not grits"

or cornbread

Truth be told, no breakfast is complete without grits. They kind of tie everything together, like plaster.

Unfortunately, it's hard to get a good grit around Pittsburgh. Waffle House is about the only place I know, and we have so few of them in W. PA. Sad, so sad.

On a better note, I was at Put-In Bay in Ohio this weekend. I had lots of perch and walleye.

Hard to get good grits up North period. I wish that was different, and have to settle for fried mush.

I hope this doesn't re-ignite the war between the North and the South. But, for those of us who grew up in the north -- "good grits" truly fits the term "oxymoron."

Where I come from, an unsuspecting spoonful of grits would quickly result in a big gulp and the term "UFFDA" -- or worse.

Where I live now, my friends just keep adding butter, salt, and sugar until the grits are a significant minority of the ingredients. Then they declare it "good."

I was about 22 years old before I came across grits. I thought it was Cream-of-Wheat. Silly me.

Cat, I will defend to the death your right to dislike grits. I will also eat your portion of them at any meals in Arlington next month.

P.S. I grew up in Ohio. Sometimes that is called UP south.

grits,cheese,salt, pepper...that is all.

Butter and salt.

IIRC my wife eats them with ketchup.

Yes, butter & salt only.

cat, Theo and I are going to have breakfast with you every day in Arlington.

If you guys won't eat your grits, I won't have to order anything at all.

Except DMD.

Interesting thing I heard about DMD this weekend.

I can't say for sure if this is true, but maybe someone can verify this.

Remember the old saying that "Ethyl is your friend, but Methyl will kill you?"

When the body breaks down DMD, one of the by-products is Methyl. So if you drink a lot of DMD, you are subjecting yourself to Methyl on a regular basis.

Again, I just heard this and have no idea if it is true.

Surely this is untrue, or else I am posting from the great beyond.

How do we know that you are not?

You don't.

Is this a great site, or what?

Where else could a discussion about fences go from the health effects of manure to the health effects of DMD, to posting from the afterlife?

Grits are what people eat because they don't have 'real' sweet corn! Nothing else to do with regular corn but try to hide the taste behind some butter and salt and call it breakfast.

My only semi-regular exposure to grits is Cracker Barrel breakfast. Then, it's butter + sugar. Good stuff.

I was raised on grits; liberally covered with bacon grease or some other artery clogger. Who knew? I still like them but now limit the topping to margerine. And then, I top the whole works off with my cholesterol busting med Lipitor.

Dave, you missed the Great Depression by a few years but your parents knew how to "stretch" a meal...!
My mother could feed a family of five kids with grits and cornmeal mush. I would kill for a plate of fried mush for breakfast this morning.

Of course the fancy smansy folks call it "polenta" today...
