Grits

And you didn't call me?

Now, bear in mind that I am foreign... Explain to me what grits are made of please. I've only heard it said in movies (in some diner or other). Sounds gross, but enlighten me please Ta muchly Sal

I suppose there are several varities but I just eat plain old homny grits...ground up corn.  They are normally cooked in water till they thicken and in the South we add lots of butta, cheese, shrimp, hot sauce, bacon...anything that you want. Are you familiar with cream of wheat...similar but from corn. B

hehe... thanks Sal.. I was about to ask the same question

I made the mistake of trying grits (my first time, no less) a few months out at Denny's ..   I figured it was the better of the options (which were pancakes or biscuits, IIRC) .. Gave me bad bloating and gas later ..   ugh!   I thought that was odd, since they are made out of corn and we can usually tolerate corn products O.K. (e.g. Cream of Wheat, tortillas, hominy, nacho chips, etc.)  It might work for me now, being 1 1/2 years out, but I haven't tried it again ..

Well, I won't know till I try them...just a little till I can see how they sit on my new tummy.

Im coming to your place for dinner sometime!

When you can have shrimp, I made a concoction of tiny diced shrimp and fake crab legs in a cream cheese mixture. Yummy! (The cream cheese was full fat, so a little heavy for my tiny stomach, but you can get Weigh****chers cream cheese, lower in fat and has fiber

Yummo...give  me the recipe. Now when can you come to Kyle?  I think you and Sharon may have a conflict since she has to leave for CA.  Let me know. 

I leave tomorrow for Orlando and Vegas, i'll be back late on the 16th. So, I think we do conflict

Dang it we do.  Maybe we will see one another on the 19th.
