Well, it was bound to happen sometime. I mean, I've been here in SC for 6 years and it was inevitable that one day I would wake up as a southerner. Back north when winter hits and you wake up on a cold frosty morning you make a breakfast of oatmeal, cinnamon toast and hot chocolate. I've never really liked grits until I started making my own...they were either too watery thin or too thick. So, yesterday when the cold snap hit Sumter, SC and I was in the Piggly Wiggly mailing a package, I picked up a bag of yellow grits on my way out. Not only did we have grits but we had an egg on it and yes! I even whipped up a corn bread!!!! My husband says I make the best cornbread he's ever had, so I guess that says something for my transformation. But, today when I was once again making grits I realized a southerner was creeeping out of me...I need to get back north before the transformation is complete!!!!!!! In the meantime, you can just kiss my grits!

What's grits?
LMAO!! you know it never dawned on me that there would be people in places that didn't know what grits are!
Grits - A ground, usually white meal of dried and hulled corn kernels that is boiled and served as a breakfast food or side dish.
Coarsely ground grain, especially corn.
And I, the born and raised Southerner, prefer Cream of Wheat! :)
Thank you. Never too old to learn
