Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
Grits are basically corn meal mush. It's ground up corn, cooked like
mush/porridge. It's a south-eastern ("Southern") dish. It can be served just
as cooked as a side dish at a meal, or it can be put in a breadpan and chilled.
It sets quite firm so it can be sliced, perhaps dipped in something (flour,
egg, etc) and fried to heat it. Eat with syrup like a pancake.
People from the South who eat it a lot may have some other comments. I'm a
Westerner who eats it only on occasion. I like grits but I usually don't think
about fixing them when I do meal planning. I wasn't raised eating grits.
Alice in Oregon -- ready for Day 2 of the fair. Everything is set up...I just
have some more paperwork to finish. Should be a much easier day, just long.
Perhaps I might even get some lace made today.

Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
Alice did a great job of describing grits. I'm originally from the northwest corner of Louisiana. My mom cooked grits every Sunday for breakfast. It's great with butter or cheese mixed in it. On the side, a few years ago, I saw some 'GRITS' merchandise on a kiosk in a mall in the town I grew up. The hats and t-shirts had "GRITS - Girls Raised In The South" on them.

Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
I didn't discover Grits until 1984 when my husband took me to meet his family in Tennessee. I do remember corn meal mush for breakfast as a kid in Washington State. But to me they are different: white vs. yellow, and the taste is different too. Then a friend (originally from Tenn. too) and his wife gave me a recipe for a grits and cheese dish that is baked and we just love it. In fact I think it is time to make it again. I have adapted it by adding diced onion and green chilies. When baked I cut it in squares and my husband eats it like brownies. It makes a nice side dish.

Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
The first time I had grits was at an inn in North Carolina and I was fascinated to try them. They were white and very watery as served there; like a very liquid porridge. I love porridge (oatmeal to Americans), but did not like these grits. Since then I have had them in Virginia and they were delicious - thicker and with cheese added Sue - Original Message - From: Lorri Ferguson To: Vickie McKinney ; Lace Chat Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 11:10 PM Subject: Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?

Re: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
Alice has asked for the recipe. I will send it to the list for all those who might want to try it. Lorri Grits Cassarole Cook together and cool slightly: 2 quarts water, 2 cups grits, 2-3 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 cup butter When cooled slightly, beat in: 4 eggs Stir in: 1 lb. grated cheese (Cheddar or pepper Jack), 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1- 4 ounce can of chopped green chilies, and 1/2 sautéed chopped onion. Mix well and pour into a 9"x12" pan. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hour at 350F, until set in center. Serve warm or chilled as desired. Warm will be more creamy.

Lorri, sounds great but I don't think it will fit in under the weight watchers diet (all that butter,cheese and SOOO much salt) Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK No virus found in this outgoing message.
