Monday, as the Legislature convened its 2002 session, Everett introduced House Bill 993, which would make grits the "official processed food" of Georgia, joining the azalea (state wildflower), the honeybee (state insect), the knobbed whelk (state seashell) and about 40 other state symbols. Pelote, a Savannah Democrat, joined as a co-sponsor, making the legislation bipartisan.
Everett said he added the word "processed" to the bill to appease the powerful peanut (state crop) and peach (state fruit) lobbies. Grits are made by milling and processing corn kernels.
Dump cheeder cheese into the grits while they're boiling. Let them solidify and cool down. Cut it out of the pan in thin square pieces. Fry it in pure bacon fat. Serve.
It's cholesterol-licious!
Some might not like this one (I don't give a sh*t though): When I was coming up in my home town, we had a junior high school teacher (history) who quit his job and opened up a T-Shirt shop with another guy. They airbrushed customed jobs and they were pretty cult in our little town for a while (maybe even still). Anyway, I had a thought up a shirt and had them make it for me when I was 14. It was a bunch of Confederate Soldiers sitting around a campfire having a meal out of bowls. In the background were a field of dead Yankee Soldiers. The caption for the shirt was from your post:
Thanks for bringing back that memory. The nostalgia sets in though... Nobody at school bitched about me having a shirt like then. Ahh. Those were the days. (God, now I'm thinking about "All in the Family".)
having a shirt like then= having a shirt like that then
More coffee is in order this morning I think.
