Kev,
The guy on the Quaker Oat meal box is...
well, he's a quaker.

Grits are a course ground meal, made from dried corn.
Slowly simmered in water, they make a smooth paste, looks like Malt o Meal or thick Cream of Wheat, but tastes like corn.
Prepared correctly, they should have the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Jenny, if the grits you had were morter thick, shoot the cook!

No, you dont have to have fried pigs knuckels with it, but a ham bone in the water and a mess of greens dont hurt!

Even better, take your left over grits, shape them like patties, put them in the icebox overnight.
Next morning, fry them up in your bacon grease...
Ummmm, thats good eating!
Stay Frosty,
Ed

Hey Kev, the little rocks are really grape nuts that we down South pour out of the box so they won't force us to eat them. As for the grits a little honey or sugar with some toast or BISCUITS AND GRAVY and a nice large cold glass of milk make a mighty fine breakfast.

As for the grape nuts Euell Gibbins (I think that may be how you spell it) said "some parts are eidible" but I really think he was talking about the box they came in. Even if you poured a half gallon of milk over them and let them set a couple of days I still say they were hard as rocks, and probally tasted worse than the chat found in the road.

He of course is dead now, musta been from eating Grape Nuts cereal.

And that is "Jim's thoughts for today".

I dont think there is a legal way to explain grits to anyone north of the Mason Dixon line.
Its just one of those "down south" foods you have to grow up on.
But it is a great excuse to eat a lot of salty butter, sorta like corn on the cob.
Ever see anyone eat corn on the cob plain?
Yuck!

What I just finished was,
Ten pieces of bacon, fried soft and chewy,
french fries,
two eggs over well,
and a big bowl of grits, with real butter,
everything covered with salt and pepper,
and a cup of black coffee.
Tasted real good, and lunch is such a long way away...
Stay Frosty,

Thanks, I'm really hungry now...haven't had biscuits and gravy in ages. Weirdly enough, I can remember the first time I ever tried them. It was August 14, 1992 at about 6 AM in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I was waiting (and waiting...and waiting) for a train to Seattle and stopped at the only place nearby that was open. YUM! Yes, I'm really strange as far as remembering dates. [:)]

If it ain't going, neither am I

One lifelong lesson taught by my dad when i was 15, although it never really applied to me but is good for all of the kids on this sight is,

"Never be rude to an adult, because they WILL end up being your future Girlfriends' parents"

I always thought that was a great lifelong lesson, because a few days i met my Girlfriend i met her mom at a grocery store (I didn't know it was here mom) the lady was buying 2 things and i had eight, she looked like she was ina rush, so i let her in front of me...

It's simple gestures like that that count in todays society...

anyways when i was introduced to the mom, who ithough was going to be a stick sticker-in-the-wheels, it ended up being the person i'd let in front of me!!

Boy was i relieved..
she said.. don't i know you?? your the boy thatw as so nice to me at the grocery store, i think you and my daughter will be fine!

thats the story of the day.. remeber the quote...

Damn the locomotive started.. i don't wint to ride in that.. what if it breaks down..

if y'all never see me agin, that darn-tootin lowkeymotive went out and stalled on me..

I'm not making fun! just imitataing.. so don't go ape crap crazy on me!

i like this computer.. okay going..


Kevin, if you worked where I work the first question out of the management 's mouth would be, "Well why did you break it?".

Let's get the skinny-who, what, where, when, and why. Oh yes, and make sure and include the type of loco and the manufacturer. What did they do to "fix" it. You weren't snacking on "junk food" were you? (previous post about a week ago) lol

We are all glad to see and hear you made it back ok. I bet you were glad you didn't have to run the tracks and meet a crazy possume lol lol lol.

They are the Canadians who moved to Louisiana over two centuries ago, and mixed with the French and Indian settlers there.
They developed their own language, a mix of English, French, some Afrikan terms, and a lot of the local Indian words.
So, no one but a coonass can understand a coonass.
They slur all their words together.
And when they try to speak english, you need a translator.
You know they are trying to speak english, because you can reconize one or two words they are saying, but the rest?
You just guess at it!
ISo imitate all you want, after all, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
