G--ts ?

I shared a bowl of grits tonight. A dab of butter on top, and I can assure you that they have their very own taste. And yes, I also like grits with a couple of medium fried eggs on top.

I like potatos,pancakes and bread but never without at least butter or something.Beenthere,you are the only one that I know that enjoys those things plain.
I picture you sitting crosslegged on a hardwood floor washing your plain pancakes down with a glass of room temp water.
Butter and maple syrup on pancakes,butter or gravy on the spuds and many good things on the bread.All good.

I wish I could sit like that again...

But really, by themselves they do have taste (which was my only point ;) )

But G..ts eh eh

BT,

Maybe it is that sitting cross-legged on the floor that is leading to your disdain because of strain :-\.

Well, at least we know he's been there!

If I had to choose between bread, potatoes, pancakes, or grits on their own, I'd choose bread (as long as it's a good kind, that is). Next would be pancakes. Grits and potatoes with nothing? Yuck! No, Okra and I don't see eye to eye on this topic. But then if you saw some of the combinations he used to come up with... He's become a pretty good cook, though. And he voluntarily made us supper today, and it was quite yummy!

Mrs. Okra and I disagree fundamentally on cooking techniques. She is strictly by the book, follow the recipe chapter and verse. :P

Me, I say, what book? I'll just keep adding ingredients until it tastes good!

A man after my own heart :laugh:

I use a recipe as a rough draft, the finished product gets adjusted with a little of this and that. Nothing wrong with cooking with your senses insay( which drives my wife crazy, the kids usually like my cooking). A couple rules I live by when it comes to food, everything is better with cheddar. There is no substitute for real butter, or real maple syrup for that matter. And lastly, I almost always sauté my onions n garlic before throwing them in the mix (in butter of course). I think I am having grits for breakfast tomorrow morning :christmas:
