My favorite way to eat grits: Take a couple of over easy eggs, several strips of crumbled up bacon, butter, and a heap of grits. Mix it all together and salt and pepper to taste. Then spread the mixture on toast and enjoy. That's good eatin'!
I live in California and came to Alabama on business. I was taken out to breakfast and served eggs over easy and grits. (I think it was some kind of test, y'all don't do that to people from out of state do you?) But I had lived in Austin for four years and promptly salted and peppered my grits and ate them with the eggs. (I passed)
Now my son got a call from Auburn asking him on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely was it that he would enroll this Fall. He said 11. Since Mom and I are retiring at the same time, we will be relocating to the state of Alabama. I'm sure we will be welcome. See you soon.
