In anticipation of our southern trip I experimented with some southern cuisine this morning.
Red Mill grits w/maple syrup, (is this allowed?) buttered sourdough toast and a glass of milk.
So far no bad stomach cramps or other maladies.

Looks like bulk sausage in the upper right corner.
That's what I heard yowling. That poor maple syrup. :o
need ham, eggs and red eye gravey
Where's the meat? Where's the buttermilk biscuits or cornbread?
I'm gonna help you, you poor dear Yankee. While your grits are cooking, fry a nice ham steak and when you take it out of the pan, poor a cup of coffee in the ham pan, and stir with a fork and loosen all those bits of meat into the coffee. BAM! Red eye gravy to mix in your grits.
Biscuits and gravy. Eggs over easy and put on top of the gravy. And of course all fried in country ham grease.

Or bacon or sausage, maybe even some fried taters, possibly with peppers and onions in them and some of that gravy poured over them, of my I don't think I left any room for grits though, maybe next time.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

on the plate! 8)
Lordy, if I knew there was not going to be coffee, I would just stay in bed, life is too short to miss out on coffee, I can miss a meal or two, but COFFEE, no way, don't even want to go there.
Bill, those are some artificial Peonies that my wife laid on the counter.
Roxie, Me a Yankee? You bet. Poor and dear not so much
Last time I looked Oxford PA is not south of the Mason Dixon line are U originally from the south?
I am somewhat familiar with Oxford, When I was a young man I worked out of Coatesville and West Chester all over the surrounding countryside for the Osmose Co treating standing utitity poles.
No meat yesterday, I try to vary my diet altho bacon and sausage are consumed on a regular basis.
I'll have to try Red Eye gravy. I need to acclimate my system to that too.
I had already had me 2 mugs of coffee by the time I ate.
Pete the sausage and bacon is what keeping you young 8)
Pete, Mama hails from, and still lives in Sparta, NC.
Maple syrup makes almost anything great 8)
I have nothing against grits but never make them... I'm a low carb kind of person and just like potatoes better than corn of any kind.
Getting better at this
Took a page from Magic Mans book this morning

You are moving in the right direction. Next, finish cooking the egg and delete the grits, and you will be fully weaned from grits. :)
The Grits under that egg look a bit thick, but you are getting the right idea. You get extra points just for trying it. :P
Lordy, now we are getting particular on how a grit looks, hmmm.
First it was maple syrup. Store bought syrup I can understand,but maple syrup? ???
Now an egg!!!
Oh the horrors upon horrors of it all.
What's next cheese??
Us Yankees,well you're about to be called Ex-Yankee,can try them grits,but why put something good on it to make it taste better?
I went on The Southern side once but I was not about to waste good food to make it better in the process of it all.
Yup cheese is next.
Lynn, I followed the directions on the package and the consistency was OK for me.
I read on another thread i think, that red eye can be made from any pan residue.
My mom called this simply pan gravy and she made it from most everything.
Oh the fond memory.
Cant get Linda to do that.
