You know you are in the Deep South when the supermarket has a whole isle devoted to grits
cat heads biscuits are made with real flour and rolled in dough, my grannie used to cook all hers in a wood fired stove, best ever!Year's ago I went to visit my hillbilly family in Tennessee. They fed us "cat heads". I thought they meant the real thing. No grits though.
I finf Jim Dandy grits to be best!!You know you are in the Deep South when the supermarket has a whole isle devoted to grits
I love grits! We were down in Mobile AL and stayed at this wonderful BnB that made the BEST grits!!YOU gotta try grits, its a southern staple!!!!
Tell her to add a little cheese and butter and she should love them!Grits are good even to a Northern EastenerWesterner. Not a favorite of my wife that hated being at LSU during her residency.
20 minutes usually. I replace one of the cups of water with a cup of whole milk. The reason you have to stir occasionally is that some will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn if you don't ever stir them up.One cup of grits, 4 cups of water, a lil salt and peper, bring to boil , cover and cut heat off, stiring occasionaly till they thicken, best grits ever!
I used to use Jim Dandy but I can't find their regular grits anymore. All the stores just have the Jim Dandy quick grits. Now I get either local stone ground grits or Quaker Old Fashioned grits (they are made from hominy, which is how grits were originally made).I finf Jim Dandy grits to be best!!
. I learned to braze copper and told I was a natural 30 yrs ago. I bought a Flux core to fix a few things around here.Mig welding is very easy, also stock up on specialty brazing rods, , Ones that you can weld alum, cast or other metals with!!!
I love SpamYeah I know you have prettier scenery by far from my flat lands I see here. That is ok for me. I got timber. . . lol. I will have to agree with your wife on your taste buds. Weren't you eating SPAM when wife was away? Sorry Bud, I can't stand the stuff.
When i was growing up my dad owned lumber mills, his mill wrights taught me to weld and run machines when i was 14 years old and every summer till i graduated from college, I learned from old time millwrights!!!.

I was told on another forum that I had to have a little skill to get rebar welded together for my first project.
To me it’s a learn as you go thing. Its a learning process for me. My welds have been pretty ugly But they get the job done.
. She would like the cheese and butter, but California girls in Louisiana typically don’t adapt. She never adapted the short time was in NY.Tell her to add a little cheese and butter and she should love them!
I first learned welding in high school, back when they still taught skills. Also took agriculture, forestry, auto shop and wood shop in HS. A couple years after HS I went to work in a welding shop that manufactured heavy equipment components, underground mining equipment etc. I welded in the shop and out in the field, in sawmills, mining and smelting projects. Its a good trade to learn. Worked there for 13 years, from welder, fabricator, foreman and manager.When i was growing up my dad owned lumber mills, his mill wrights taught me to weld and run machines when i was 14 years old and every summer till i graduated from college, I learned from old time millwrights!!!
I'm going start looking for grits. They sound good, especially with cheese. I dont remember seeing grits on the menu around here. Maybe when we head south next week the grocery store might have some.Grits came from an Indian dish that the Choctaws call tamfula. You soak the corn in water and wood ash (the lye in the wood ash turns it into hominy), then rinse it well, grind in a mortar and pestle, and boil it. Masa flour used in Mexican dishes like corn tortillas and tamales is similar but ground finer.
I'd like to get a wire feed for my Bobcat stick welder. And a spool gun for aluminum.. I learned to braze copper and told I was a natural 30 yrs ago. I bought a Flux core to fix a few things around here.

I don’t know if they are, but I would threat them in the same category as oatmeal. Somewhere between cream of wheat- and polenta.I'm going start looking for grits.
