Hi Snugs. Grits are made when you take crack dried corn and turn the kernels into coarse meal or fine flour.

Thanks, Texagirl. Fortunately, I had a lot of help putting it together. And I think Babychick did an exceptional job with her part, don't you? ;-)
You have a nice day also!
I have dial up at present whilst my normal computer is getting some TLC and by the time I had read the text with the photos they had loaded so for me no problem really enjoyed the presentation. Look forward to more.
What are grits I often hear them mentioned I have always assumed they are some sort of cereal or oatmeal am I right?
Oh, that is sooooo good to know! I really do stress over some of these graphic/photo heavy threads we do. I remember what it was like with dial-up. I never had the patience to wait long enough for large graphics to come up. I try to keep everything that I post under 60K or 70K at the most, I think that helps. I also include the height and width in the links. (Billie insists we do that...for good reason.) I have heard that alone reduces the download time by half.
Look forward to more
And more you shall have. I will post my "MamaBear Sez" table a little later today. I will ping you to it. :-)
Lori, I have never eaten grits either. :)
Well, as much as I WANTED to like them, I still have to say, you haven't missed much - IMHO. LOL.
Great story and makes this thread even more human and one can imagine being there wonderful
Come over and meet some freepers on the finest
Good luck with your project. I am beginning to believe that what you said is true. Like me, you tend to break things......accidently, of course. LOL
When you say fairly new hopefully within the guarantee I have a friend whose stuff seems to fail either a day before or a day after the guarantee expires she has a wonderful way of talking herself into a replacement with just expired guarantees.
Oh, yes, it was a classic moment when Nan, who we thought we had lost "somewhere" in WalMart, suddenly appeared, standing next to me and scubachick, with this puzzled look on her face that said....."why are you HERE in the plumbing department staring at the shower attachments?" LOL. Scubachick is stifling a laugh and, I'm sure, thinking "whatcha going to do NOW, Auntie?" Nothing to do but hang my head and confess. :-(
Thanks for the invite snugs! Hi Dolly Calli! This is a fun thread!
Looks like you had a terrific time together! Thanks for the stories and photos. I have to admit however that they are officially way too racy for my children because someone who shall remain nameless disobeyed the sign at the museum. Tsk tsk. ; D
My husband teaches photography...you need say no more about the mess.
FWIW, I may be completely a northwest girl at heart, but I love grits! I like 'em with butter and salt...and with over easy eggs. So, there ya go. There's a little of the South in all of us.
I'm off to do a little work outdoors and try to catch up on laundry. Blech!
I'll check in later. Thanks again for the invite.
Hi Snugs. Grits are made when you take crack dried corn and turn the kernels into coarse meal or fine flour.
correction: a fine flour would be cornmeal which is what you make cornbread out of. Grits would be a coarse meal made from dried corn.
In Europe grits are called polenta, the difference being polenta is made from yellow corn and grits are made from white corn.
I have to admit however that they are officially way too racy for my children because someone who shall remain nameless disobeyed the sign at the museum. Tsk tsk. ; D
LOL!!! I could not have asked for a better lead in to my exposé on our very own Finest Reverend Nan!
Now, it may be true that I accidentely damaged (okay DESTROYED) her shower thingie while I was staying in her lovely home, but I have something WAY worse on her! Wait 'til you see THIS.......
Great you came over Polly you said you were missing Amy's Place and this is where most of gang hang out. Yesterday's thread is well worth looking at that was part I of "the trip".
Hope to catch you later on the dose
Help I am more confused than ever how do you buy them and what do they look like, do you cook them, make them into something?
That looks more like an organ to me than piano it seems to have stops on it?
