new use for grits

[pesaventoc]

Much of the south is covered in ice. My steps are slicker than deer guts on a doorknob. Then I thought of the lowly grit. Try it, it works and environmentally friendly. Disclaimer: I'm a grits lover.

Good idea.
I've used bird seed before. Just watch out for the droppings.

Sand works well here in VT.  You have my permission to try it.  I think it is cheaper (ok thriftier) than GRITS.  Gerald

I've eat Grits off steps before. I mean.....you can't just let the birds have them.

I would not even eat them off a plate.  :

And then there is that picture.  ;D

Wow grits before the second post. Must be a record.

They also say that grits kill ants. They sweel up and die, but I am not wasting my grits on ants or steps, I like them too much :laugh:

[LaneC]

Swell up, not sweel up, my bad :laugh:

+2 on that( nasty nasty nasty)

The only problem is, once the ice melts you're left with polenta.

"They" are wrong. Grits do not kill ants. They used to be used in fire ant bait, which is probably where the old wive's tale came from. Grits + poison will indeed kill fire ants.

Gotcha dodgy loner. You live in Mc Comb? My daughter is going to college by you. On the softball team up there. Hope they do good this year.

I'm glad to see someone knows how to write Southern Style.  :D I understood every word.

Writing it and being it are two different things, though. ;)

I THINK I may have Cabin Fever here..... I ain't no southerner by any way shape or form although sometimes I wish I was down der.   ;D

[Magicman]

Well if you ever do make it this far South, there will be a bed waiting for you.....and no grits.  I would love to sit and visit with you.

You can stop in here on your way to Magicman's place, the room and board is really cheap just pray that my wife has the night off, her cooking is WAY better than mine!  ;)
