Re: Re: Grits

I was never impressed by grits. Then there's "Sausage Gravy & Biscuits"

Thanks Pam - I'm still feeling gr888. Besides the grits, etc, back in the
"old" days, my ex  - Bro-law was from Tenn. & a truck driver. he would
bring back good old 'WHITE LIGHTNING & down home salted ham. One shot of
lightning & I forgot how salty the ham was. Oh yes, along with some gr888
okra.
