[blparent] switching up foods

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Grits are made from finely ground hominy.  They can be sweetened or salted, 
and sometimes they're served with butter or cheese.  You can also cook them 
up very thick, then cool them in a loaf pan, slice them, and fry the slices. 
They're common in the South, and they're yummy.  My ex husband used to make 
them for me, and he got them in the cereal aisle at the grocery store.  You 
can get instant grits, quick-cooking grits, or the regular kind that take 
forever to make.  The quick-cooking ones were preferable to me, tasting 
better than the instant but not taking so long as the regular kind.  Grits 
are more finely ground than oatmeal, similar to farina.

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
