NOW WAIT ONE DANG MINUTE!

Tom, you know for a fact that I am MUCH further south than any of you Northerners!

Fred - in the DEEP South...

The ham, cornbread and buttermilk we got up noth here to, don't let Tom fool ya. ;D ;) 8)

My grandmother made butter every week in the summer and sold it along with the buttermilk. I wasn't allowed to churn. :

Grandmother would put grandfather on the end of the churn paddle if he was standing in the middle of the kitchen looking for breakfast. ;D :D Grandmother usually had the butter all churned out and washed and salted and ready to press by daylight. ;) She never sold it at market price, always cheaper and better than store bought. Mother tried it a couple times, but holstein cows that we raised don't make as good a cream as Gernsey or Jersey cows. ;) My uncles last old cow was a 25 year old Jersey, she was like a pet the last 10 years of her life. Kept her around to keep the horse company. The horse never died from work exhaustion either, more to do with kindness. ;) :D

Tom, I was gonna go to the grocery store and get some smoked turkey for a sandwich tonight but you made me so hungry for breakfast I am going to IHOP.I think I'll have two over medium, 4 strips of bacon, 2 sausage links, a short stack of whole grain cakes with maple syrup, and of course a bowl of grits. Hey I wonder if they have grits here in Illinois? I didn't think of that. I'll find out.

dundee - grits is are good. You need some.

Tom it started in 1861 I believe. ;)

No Richard! I'm too far north to be eatin' grits. But I think my grandfather used to give them to his chickens to aid digestion. :D But from reading Tom's many post about food, I imagine that he could make even bones and collards taste good. :D

tnlogger,

Since Harold's Spanish isn't exactly up to snuff yet, I can get away mocking grits to my hearts content. The Ticos think they are for the shop floor right now, they are thinking poor Harold is really poor to be having to eat something like that... ;D

No you ain't learnin it. You can't say "you guy's" and spect us to believe you're talkin right. Everyone knows it's "Y'all". Don't ever say "Yoos guys" and stuff like that you'll never get your grits. If you walk into a place that's good enough to serve grits and ask "Do yoos Guys have grits" the waitress might slap you for disrespecting her that way.
So for example when i say "Y'all stop by sometime Richard" that means youreslf and the missus are welcome to come over anytime. I'll have my missus fix you and your missus a bowl of grits.

Y'all stop by sometime Richard.

dundee · March 23, 2006, 09:34:04 PM

Thanks Kevjay----my 2x4 or 100x50 (my missus) and I will get up and meet some of "yoos guy's in due course---if I start talking like "yoos guy's" around my house, my 2x4 will think I am from another planet

Den Socling · March 23, 2006, 09:42:59 PM

After thinking about Chet finding grits at a restaurant I've finally come to the conclusion:
The civilized world has finally made its way to Michigan! 8) ;D 8)
