I think I need to explain, my confusion was that I posted on FaceBook and did not know if it would transfer to here in BabyBloomers…..and it did. Thus, my old stompin grounds. I came back and read what I had typed and it was clear as mud….even to me.

Actually, I do too !! And I still have a soft spot for Groucho, even if we did have a falling out at one point = /

jonny– I loved that clip! I have vague memories of seeing Dinah Shore’s talk show that she did in the 70’s … Yes, I AM that old.

‘You can’t question people’s taste.’ Well, you could with the look she gave and tone while delivering that line !! I was turned onto grits when I as in the Army. Had them every morning for breakfast = ) Plain, with lots of butter. Many are now wanting me to visit Tennessee again. If that happens, I’ll have to stop at Columbia again !! = )

… and there was I thinking grits were something to do with breakfast. Never tried them (obviously). I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have fallen for Auburn’s husbands story though

The pizza looks goooood.

I was once in a ‘little local news piece’ in America (seriously).

Love pizza! Only once tried grits when we were in South Carolina but they were only plain and I really didn’t like them. However I would be willing to try the flavoured ones. Maybe next year went we are over in the US again!

auburn60: My sister Liz makes a mean garlic cheese grits… And that story is HILARIOUS!

Momma Lloyd: So glad you are in our stomping grounds! Yep, shrimp and grits are absolutely what converted me, too– they are SO good.

Oh for goodness sake, I’ve ended up in those old stomping grounds. I’ve got it now but have to admit I had a couple minutes of “stupid.” As if you couldn’t tell.

Don’t know if this is gonna “take” here….or if I must go to our old stomping grounds to reply. Actually, it took shrimp ‘n grits to get me turned on to grits. Now, I like them about every way they can be fixed and I’m gonna try and figure out the complete recipe for this one. I’m thinking I should just throw away all of my many cookbooks and just follow you around.

And the video was funny!

I could eat A LOT of cheese grits…and I don’t care what you put in them. Would not have put them with pizza but I’ll try anything.

My husband told a whole table-full of “midwesterners” (yankees) one time this long, involved
story about how grits grow on trees that will only grow in the South because of our special blend of sandy and acidic soil and how hard it is to actually pick A GRIT out of the tree, resulting in a short harvest season, and how there are rows and rows of grit trees-as far as the eye can see-in his hometown. They bought every bit of it. Yep, the man can spin a yarn.

PhyllisS: I swear, I thought of you! The grits had that certain Louisiana touch of “you have to have a LITTLE bit of heat or it’s just not food!”

Southern Born and Southern Bred

Now my mouth is watering!

We eat grits in some form at least 4 or 5 times a week, a staple in our house.
Will put this on my Tennessee bucket list.

chillybean: (Honey– remember who you’re talking to. You would have to REALLY WORK HARD in order for me to consider you ‘inappropriate’…) 1. Next time we’re all in Arkansas, ask Liz to make you some of her cheese garlic grits– could possibly convert you. 2. And how much do you LOVE the accents?! 3. True fact: Female Southern newscasters must sign a contract that they will show a certain amount of cleavage/boobage per newscast. Ok, not really.

Warning: Slightly inappropriate comments to follow!
1) I am a grits virgin. Never had them. Still not sure if I want to try them.
2) I love the bearded man’s comment: I don’t much care for the plain ones and I’d never had the fancy ones though. Too funny.
3) Does the blonde newscaster on the far left look like she is showing off her boobs? The tan in the middle of her shirt makes her look slightly topless.

I am sorry for bringing down the high moral ground of your blog with my northern crass comments. See #1 – I am not a southern girl at all and apparently lack cyber manners.
