'stripped with lye'.....Wolf, grits sure r fifty, sorry i doubted you man

Ha ha, he called you a man.

Naw, he just mispelled mam.

Uh, you mean ma'am?

Is that short for madam? I met one of those in Nevada.

grits, dey is whats for dinner
 

First let me say the grits festival has been going for quite awhile. Around these parts it is a very popular event. Grits are also an important part of Southern cooking and Gullah cookin.
shrimp and grits are as close to ambrosia as some people get.

I should say for clarification that I live 30 minutes from St. George. It is the county seat of the place I live.

When it comes to eating grits all I can say is it beats the hell outta oatmeal.

It's the hours of religious music that get me. What (I was about to write "pray tell") does religious music have to do with grits? Are grits credited with saving souls somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that the Bible mentions nothing about grits. So this must be a Sacraligous Grits Ritual.

or a Baptism In Grits neither seem right.... Man talk about one messy spiritual rebirth.

Oops, sorry maam. Hey JuJu who you callin' "he"

Re: grits, dey is whats for dinner
 

You're only saying that because you've probably only ever had instant quaker oats!

McCann's Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal.

Takes forever to cook, guaranteed to boil over several times causing a horrid mess upon the stove no matter how carefully you watch over them, but they are a totally different taste experience. Make a big batch, refrigerate, and microwave as necessary. (McCann's also makes an instant version, which is still better than Quaker instant, captures most of the flavor-quality of the long-cook type, but is a little mushier than I like). Wee bit o' cream and honey ... mmmmmm.

Ground corn....ground oats...that's not food. That's what food eats.

Perhaps it would qualify as spiritual afterbirth, then?

I'm a rotten SOB for saying so, but man that looks like Rachel Corrie! :D

As for nightsong and his grit thingy I think it is an accquired taste. You either like it or you do not. I am not fond of what tastes like dirt with a bit of butter or cheese! As for all the music we are the belt buckle of the bible belt annoying as it is. music is better played then have the amataur holy singer that is tone deaf sing(we will not even start that one):D

     Ever notice that everyone that lives in the bible belt say they live in the buckle? I've lived in Louisianna, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas and the only time I didn't live within a mile of a church was when I was ten miles outside of town. Even then I think there was a church within three miles...
