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,
Ed

Grits?

isn't that little rocks that are found on the road, or the stuff used to to put on snow so cars don't slip, i.e a safer alternative to snow?

gee Ed you really do have an iron stomach!

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!

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".

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!

Try hominy, thats some good eating to.
Hulled and air dried corn kernels, boiled in salty water, then buttered and eaten.
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

I like the yellow,
the white works good baked into casaroles, but the flavor by itself aint all that great.
Have a in law that takes the yellow, drains it, then lightly fries or brazes it in olive oil.
Goes great with red meat!

By the way, didnt ole Eule croak after eating a pine cone that had been sprayed with a pesticide?

Ed I really don't know what got him. I personally believe it had to be the grape nuts. Heck eating rocks just can't be good for ya. In my book grape nuts = rocks.

Hey Ed, I was in a store tonight and saw something that reminded me of a food group we have totally forgotten. Remember the movie "Stand By Me" with the kids going down the tracks looking for another kid who was hit by a train? While on the way they had a discussion about . . . P E Z . I saw some of these in the store tonight and it reminded me of this thread and the movie.

Yeah, but the dispensers arnt as cool as the ones we had.
They quit making the pez gun, because, well, you already know.
No Batman, Superman or the Flash.
Just a really bad Donald Duck, and a bunch of fluffy animals.

Liked the movie, though it followed Stephen King's story "The Body" quite well.
And Keifer Sutherland made the perfect Ace Merrill.
Just chicken enough to be a good bully.
Have wondered if King was writting about something that really happened to him?
Only part of the show I though was overdone was when the kids are running ahead of the train on the trestle.
Like you could run on a trestle!.
Its hard enough just trying to walk on one, much less run.

I know what you mean about the trestle. I did the trestle walk as a teen. You know how teens are, alot of energy and not much fear. The trestles and cattle guards must be based on the same principle except the cattle are smart enough not to cross them. This exteen wasn't. I did it during daylight hours. Thank God no train. There was one or two spots built in for put-put cars and/or people and I really kept an eye on them so I would know which direction to run if I had to. You know when you are high up the worst thing you can do is look down but when crossing a trestle you have to. This one didn't have any side rails to hold onto. It was flat as a pancake. And as I walked I had to look down to get step spacing right, and with no ballast bewteen the ties oh boooooooyyyyyy. You talk about getting dizzy. SO I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE WALK ACROSS A TRESTLE.

Oh Joe. NO FUN [:0] It would cost someone BIG BUCKS to even think about me doing that now. It would have to be Publisher Clearning House type money if you know what I mean. [:p]

When Matt is older make sure and tell him "Don't do it!"
