Who has altered DanG's profile? Do NOT eat grits!!!!!!
What? Someone has highjacked the forum or kidnapped DanG.
DanG, say it isn't so!
It's da twoot! :-\ I have ceased and desisted from promoting the consumption of this wonderful substance. It seems that some unscrupulous souls are promoting the use of corn, a major ingredient of Grits, as a fuel for something other than the mammalian carcass. I figger this is gonna drive up the price of corn, thus, the price of Grits. I feel it is incumbent upon us, as lovers of Grits, to protect our own best interests, thereby ceasing to encourage new consumers from consuming.
No problem. I will honor your wishes. Besides, good alcuhol comes from barley and rye. BOYCOTT CORN IF IT AINT ON DA COB!
I have altered my user pic on the bottom of my page in protest to this outrage........If this occurs as planned grit supplies will increase and people North of the mason Dixon may be forced to consume these hair altering menaces :o :o :o :o
good alcohol comes from barley, rotgut comes from corn!
:-D
Barley Pop.......Yum :)
Aww, that's just that little toy alcohol they get from barley. The REAL McCoy comes from corn. Corn has more energy in it than any other grain. That's why they make fuel alcohol from it, and that's why Grits is so good for ya. :-X OOPS! I wasn't gonna try ta sell anybody else on'em. :-[ :-[ Y'all fergit I said that!

And GREAT alcohol comes from good ole Canadian rye 8) 8) 8) 8)
Oh Lordy! Now it has become a safety issue. EVERYBODY is gonna be required, by OSHA, to eat Grits every morning. The price is gonna get so high I'll hafta saw two logs every day, instead of one log, every other day! You people are wearing me down! >:(

Next yur gonna see a notice on da box from da Surgeon General. :D
Please note that I have changed my position yet again back to what it was all over again in the first place. ;D We gon' run tha world on taters and Grits will return to it's rightful place as KING of the food world. Thanks, Chet! ;D 8) ;D 8) ;D 8)
There is no way I am going to put a plate of grits in front of the workers. They are pretty easy going guys, but given Ana's reaction, I don't want to see what people with machetes might do if fed grits! :o

I'm a big fan of corn products. GRITS, CORN SQUEEZINGS, STEAK FEED, and fuel for the mill. WHat more could a person want.
Better keep it quiet or there may not be enough to go around ;)

Just send it freight forward, I love the stuff even though we can't get good ginger ale here like Canada Dry.
If I've got a spare $100.00 I could pick up a bottle somewhere.
I just did a bunch of google searches to try to add some info to this thread since its in health and safety. I was searching things like "Death by grits" ,"grits causes death", "Killer grits" and I couldnt find a blessed thing. :-\
HOWEVER, I search "Bad grits" and came up with all sorts of things. ;D
I don't believe it Jeff. Here's what I et this morning. ;D ;D ;D Let see if you can name them viddles.
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/12431/grits3-18%25.JPG)
Also, why did that picture split my sentence into two parts?
It split it in two parts because your cursor was placed after the "w" when you pasted the URL of the picturte.
What's that red stuff? :D
woodbowl, If you had the viddles on Sunday morning, I hope you kept them in the frig since you took the picture on Friday. ::) Maybe your camera date is off a couple days. :P
Always quick to support our fearless leader - I have actually found a Southernor who doesn't like Grits!
http://www.humorcolumnist.com/grits.htm
I think it is well written and well reasoned. ;D
I remember now Tom, I was left clicking trying to insert the code, then I remembered to right click and paste. Must have clicked in that spot. What do you mean, what's that red stuff? Don't you know what _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ looks like? ???.............Guess them viddles! ;D ;D
Grits, butter, ketchup, and cornbread. ;D
All Y'all don't know what yer missin. That there is a plumb good mess-O-vittles. ;) 8) That "RED" stuff ain't Ketchup or "Catsup" as the Yankees call it. ;D ;D
I wouldn't mind a mess of Okra stirred into that meal. ;) ;) ;D ;D :)
Okra grows really well down here FDH - you will be okay. We can probably grind up some field corn for you for the grits too...
Alfredo, I can not harvest the Okra. You sold the chainsaw. :( :( ;D
Nope, still have it until you get down here - besides you don't need an Alaskan chainsaw to cut it - just a regular chainsaw will be fine....
I've not seen that RED STUFF in a long time. Might just have to make some. ;D
Y'all talk like corn licker is something special, now, I have drank my fair share of Platte River Valley corn licker, and it cannot hold a candle to the stuff them Scots produce from the peat bogs of scotland.
Steak and scotch, fit for royalty, and a poor southren country boy.
I dont know what yankees you Harold know but everybody I know says ketchup. We aint got no control on how they spell it on the bottle.
I wuz about ta get on yer case there, Woodbowl, fer havin' such a wimpy little breakfast. Then I noticed ya posted it on Sunday, and ya wouldn't wanta overdo it just before church. On a reglar mornin' though, you'd want the rest of them Grits, two or three more of them biscuits, and a couple more dips of that tomato gravy! Now me, I woulda throwed a couple or three rooster bullets on top of that, but I eat like a hog, anyway. ;D
I can testify that Dang eats like a HOG....every time I hit the buffet he had a fresh plate too :D :D :D
Thank you for your support.
;) :D :D :D :D

Round these parts we call it TOMATO SAUCE - AINT NOTHING BETTER THAN WATTIES(its a brand name ;)) as the ad says "you know u'll always be a kiwi if u love our watties sauce" ;D
Yeah, but we have both ketchup AND tomato sauce. :-\ ::)
Salsa de Tomate here
My dear wife is a Yankee (I was born in Missouri so I am not a true blood) and her family has been in NY for 350 years. Pretty much terminal Yankee.
A little background. Our little reforestation project is getting a lot of attention so we get visitors pretty steadily. A lot of the times they call and ask what they can bring us from the states that we can't get in Costa Rica. We will do things like order shoes (me - they don't have my size in the stores) and such.
Anyway, my dear wife ordered GRITS! Three boxes of the stuff. However, there is hope, they brought Quick Grits (Albers). Please tell me they aren't the real thing.... ::)
My house is being invaded by grits....
Next thing I know - Ana (our cook) will start experimenting with them.
Grits in a box ??? :( :( :(
Them ain't grits ::) ::) ::)
I'll fetch ya some REAL grits, in a sack, like theys supposed to be. ;) ;) ;D ;D :)
See Fred.....I told ya he'd bring his own!! ;D ;D ;D
It was those grits in the sack that started this - I am hoping these will convince her that she was mistaken....
Quick grits are OK..........if your in a hurry. :D I don't know what they do to rice to make it instant but I figure it's cook it till it's done then dehydrate it and call it instant. smiley_headscratch I don't know. Sounds like something you could do to grits or anything else. ???
Now she is threating to teach Ana how to cook them - I am doomed - DOOMED!
They can't FORCE 'em down yer neck ??? ;) ;D ;D :D
I don't cook! So, I have to eat sometime! :-X
Hey, I am supposed to be el presidente - perhaps I can issue a non-grits zone...
It ain't far to Ronald's Soda. :D :D
Texas Ranger is sounding more and more like someone I could share a meal with ;)
You mean William and Lucy don't you? Now that is civilized - Fried Chicken for breakfast!
Noooooo, You can WALK to Ronalds, in town.
Ah Soda Lorena - Ronald no longer owns it - he sold out to his Nephew and is living the life of Riley now.
You mean to tell me that even those who live in Nirvana, retire? :D
He is Tico (Costa Rican) and has been the owner for 20+ years.
Ronald probably got tired of practicing Spanish with me and heard Harold was moving in. ::)
No respect, NO RESPECT :( :( :(
Rodney
Jeff ???............What in the world did you do to this thread? :o :o :o Or is there a hacker out there?
Nawww. It ain't no hackers. It's just them Yankees that are jealous 'cause they ain't got no taste buds. No big deal. ::)
Shoot faar, I been waitin fer "Yooper Night". 8) :D :D :D

ahhhhh--haaaaa 8) 8) we caught thu putor guru
I've been figuring that Yooper Night will be on Thurs.
Can anyone tell me why I was thinking that ??? ;D
Well if its thursday it'll have to be without me. I'm going to be in a tent in West Branch Michigan being lulled to sleep by hundreds of hit and miss engines. ;D
My favorite pop-tarts are the smore flavored followed by BLUE BERRY!
I don't know, I sure like those hot fudge sundae ones!
OK....................This newby's gettin' nitiated about yooper. Got a pretty good idea now what it's all about. Anybody want to splane' whats going on or is it more fun to sit back and watch? ???
DanG...................Why did you change your avatar to eat more vanilla wafers? grits G r i t s gr1ts...........Hmmmmm....... smiley_headscratch smiley_headscratch smiley_headscratch
Woodbowl, you're one of the first to suss this grits theme 8) I was one of the first to cotton on to yooper night, 'cos I'm 5 hours ahead of you folks.
Sit back and enjoy. Its a bundle of laughs ;D ;D ;D ;D A few newbies will be totally confused and wound up. smiley_smug01
For more entertainment try a 'g r its' search :D ;D :D
Alright! Pop-tarts is worth talking about. If I am going to ingest some pure carbs - let them be something like pop-tarts.
Of course, French-Fried Yucca is pretty good too. And dead ripe Mango, and fresh watermelon....
Enough ketchup can even make liver palatable ;D

Jeff, if you consume too much sugary stuff on Thursday, being surrounded by a bunch of hit 'n miss engines will be great comoflage . . . considerin' what sugar does to a rapidly aging body :o :D
Jumpin' geee-hosafat!
I take a day off ta' cut some grass for the wodow lady down the way and all of a sudden we're talkin' about Vanilla Wafers ...... What in tarnashin is goin on around here?
Me thinks (not very often I'm told mindya) that mebbe the DaBoss has a little to much free time on his hands, how da world that's posssible I don't know, but you know what they say about idle hands .....
Now Ranger seems to be onta' sumtin' there, but he needs to be re-edjamucated a little.... ???
That imitation stuff from Scuttland ain't nuthin at all compared to the real stuff from Ireland. :)
BTW, the true original name for whiskey, "uisge baugh" comes from the Gaelic words "water of life" (pronounced "ish'ka'ba'ha" if ya' wanna try an' git your tongue around it).
Murf, you'll start another world war saying stuff like that smiley_argue01 The Scots are avery proud nation when it comes to their "water of life" :D ;D :D
Timburr, no fears there, sheep don't have the ability to hold a gun .... :D
No offfence intended towards any member who is Scottish, may be of Scotish heritage, or resides, or formerely resided in Scotland, where or not they are willing to admit same.
Scotland gets carried, proudly, in the genes from generation to generation regardless of how far the family moves from the homeland
Type "Cadenhead" into Google and see what you come up with. ;D
The Scottish and the Irish have a long-standing but very friendly rivalry between them, the Irish make sheep jokes and the Scottish make jokes about how the Irish also wear kilts but the ladies don't ask them about what's underneath.
Oh, and they both make fun of the Welsh 'cause they talk funny and spell everything in a strange way. :D
I guess it's one of those 'we're in it together' kinda deals, raw wind, raw land, raw treatment from the British .... :D
All this don't bother me none. I happen to like niller wafers, specially is they's wallerin' round in a bowl of nanner puddin'. ;D ;D
It's funny, but it seems that all the whiskeys that I happen to like are made by the Canuckadadians.
How about Old JTS Brown, Old Ezra Brooks, and Virginia Gentlemen? I think they are good sippin' whiskey. Only can find Ezra Brooks now though. Wild Turkey isn't bad for sippin' either, IMO.
But have to admit, I have not been into the Canuckadadians cupboard. ;D
JTS Brown http://www.ellenjaye.com/earlytimes.htm
http://www.ellenjaye.com/whiskeylist.htm
Ant none of them expensive liquors that can compare to a good home made Fox Grape Brandy. First couple go down real smooth smiley_beertoast an the third is so smooth that you wont even remember drinken it smiley_mad_crazy
Ain't no drankin goin on round hyier, BUT, I just bout sploded my belly with some country cooked Brown Beans and Cornbread. 8) :D :D
:D :D :D I see that somebody came home from lolling around in the bushes, and restored the original name of this thread. Funny thing is, each post is titled according to what the name was when it was posted. Some of'em is Grits, then some are Pop-tarts, then there's a bunch of Vanilla Wafer posts, and now they are titled Grits again. I can just see the cyber-archeologists trying to sort this one out! ;D :D
I think they were just trying to find something we could all agree on. I think they gave it up as a lost cause... :D
I must confess the cupboard was a tad bare this morning and I had to resort to a fair sized helping of grits to accompany the egg and bit of pork on my breakfast plate.
Now I feel like it is really hot outside and incredibly humid :(
What's that? It is really hot and incredibly humid?
Oh.
Nevermind ??? ::)
;) :D ;D
It's been in the mid 90's and very humid up here for the last while too. :(
My Mother in-law is here visiting for a spell from South Africa. We were sitting out on the patio the other day havin' a little brekkie and my wife commented on how warm it was getting, my Mother in-law said "Yes, you're certainly having a lovely spring, when will summer arrive?" :o :o
Mind you they have Christmas in the middle of their summer so what do you expect??
We went to a family reunion the other day. Had catfish, hush puppies, peas, okra and home grown tomaters, butter beans, turnip greens, blueberry pie and.............yea, I got a belly ache. But wouldn't you know it, somebody brought a big ole' pan of cheese grits! yum yum 8) 8)

Oh no, Hee Haw was one of my favorites but thanks for the compliment. I thought I was an old fellow, but maybe not. How old am I? No fair looking back over some of my old post.
Quote.............yea, I got a belly ache.
Really now, an whattya' figger mighta done dat ??? :D
Thats prolly yer belly's way o' sayin' ya put too much o' da wrong tings init. ::)
Mostly the wrong tings tho' like as not....... ;)
I kinda was partial to that line the ladies sang before they started up da rumour mill.....
"We don't go 'round repeatin' gossip...... so ya better listen carefully da first time........"
Always struck me as a pretty funny line.
That an "saaaaaa - lute!" to some little town somewhere's or 'nother. ;D
Judging from the fact that you are going to dig into those grits, yer not old enough to know better.
My guess, as to the age by the photo, 41.
Looks like the consistency of mortar.... I wonder if it is cheaper. smiley_devilish

According to my map it's just south of route 22 on route 9, a little south and east of Rockford.
About 40 miles north of Montgomery.
My GPS says thats about 200 miles north of you.
Enquiring minds now know. ::)
DanG you can call me Randy. Equality is just off of Lake Martin. about 25 miles north of Montgomery.

He might have a chance if he's talkin' bout lieing in the sun. Nobody's ever beat me at lieing in the shade, yet. ;D :D

I picked up some bottled ice tea at the gas station the other day. It had been a long hot one, got the "Extra Sweet". Took one swig and had to look at the label...New York City ::) Those folks just don't know sweet tea :D
So I'd like to add to the list;
