Grits -
Usually a breakfast item in the US Southern region. Made from the kernel of corn. When corn has been soaked in lye and the casing has been removed it becomes Hominy. The lye is rinsed out very well and the corn is left to harden. Then the swollen hominy is ground up to the texture of tiny pellets. When boiled with water, milk and butter it becomes a cereal similar to cream of wheat. It's used as a side dish for a good old fashioned Southern breakfast

Kelli - We both ended up picking the same pic of grits to post! (Great minds!)

Good Morning!

Why are you by yourself???

GOOD MORNING!!!!

I'm not sure if I can say that yet if I haven't slept yet??

DH is at the station (24hr.shifts - he'll be home around 9am)
Little guy slept at his friend's house
Older 2 are at their Dad's.

My nephew and his GF came over around 2am and we went for a swim!! The pool is like bath water!!!

Oh come on it is made with sausage.

Okay Kelli - Why is there a tree branch on that plate??

I don't think I've ever been in the house at night alone!!! DH works a lot of night shifts but then at least one of the kids is always here. It would be really strange. No wonder you can't sleep!

I remember wondering EXACTLY the same thing this afternoon when she first posted it.....like that is one HUGE garnish!!!

But without Kelli today I don't think any of us would have had a CLUE what we were talking about...great food pics!!!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Oh...sausage...okay then!!!! Me like sausage!!

I'll try these 'grit' things IF you guys try 'poutine'! You WILL wonder how you've lived soooooooooo Lonnnng (!) without it!!

I'll make sure I pack some grits for you when I come to visit!

This thread always seems to turn towards food!

Weird texture!

Not sure if I can 'do' the grits!!! But I'll have to come and visit you and then you can make them for ME!!!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Looks like they could hold that 'Lincoln Log' house of yours together, don't you think??!!

I know...you'd think at the ripe old age of 30-10 I'd be over this sort of 'creep me out' thing I think this is maybe the 2nd time I've been totally alone so not used to it

I'm famous for my big country breakfasts! (Ask anyone around here 'cause we've talked about them before! )

Come on over and we'll have some scrambled eggs, biscuits, bacon, sausage gravy with sausage, homefries and grits!!! And you haven't lived until you've tried chocolate gravy!!!!!

Excuse me....what-a gravy????? Chocolate GRAVY????? Is that sort of like the Nesquick chocolate syrup? Heated??

Yummm....your 'famous country breakfast' sounds AWESOME!!! I'll be there tomorrow!!!!

Okay...now I'm REALLY lost...'scrapple' .....'Goetta'

Scrapple - "Scrapple is a savory mush in which cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour, are simmered with pork scraps and trimmings, then formed into a loaf. Small scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste, a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition"

When it says scraps too small to be used or sold elsewhere it's really saying all the junk that we can't legally put into anything else and still call it a meat product. It's all the leftovers "stuff" when they butcher! (My opinion - yuck!)

Goetta - "Goetta is a regional food found in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the greater Cincinnati metro area including Northern Kentucky. It is primarily composed of ground meat and oats. Pronounced gétt-aa, ged-da or get-uh [(Americanized Pronunciation)], this dish originates from German settlers from Oldenburg, Hannover, and Westphalia who immigrated to the Cincinnati area in the 19th century. The word "Goetta" comes from the Low German word götte. (ö) umlaut pronounced like ur in turn." (I've never tried it but Lissa says it's yummy and it doesn't sound bad!)

The goetta sounds AND looks a whole bunch better than that scrapple stuff!! Who comes up with things like 'scrapple' and 'poutine'?
