Re: Grits

have to admit i like grits. don't know why. and i like them best with lots of tabasco, same way i like cottage cheese. but i also like hominy, the real thing, which no other more or less civilized person owns up to. character defect, i guess.

and, yes, rich, sos is a welcome dish around here, too. in fact, the short one and i breakfast out a few day a week and the quality of the establishment's sos is often the deciding factor in where we go.

Hey Kitty,
I'll go along with the grits, a miserable experience in the army taught me
more than I wanted to know about grits.  Got to disagree about biscuits and
gravy, still one of my favorites even after 20+ years in the army.  My 18
year old daughter and I still have that as one of our special breakfasts.
Rich in Z-5.
