Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters Thread

Good morning, ya'll

Remember the GOLDEN RULE
GOD LOVES YOU AND ME

 

Hey brother, those are INSTANT grits, they de debbil...real Southerners don't claim those...also got INSTANT oatmeal on the trailer too.
But when you don't have much, anything helps.

 

Good morning everyone! I was away all day yesterday so I have snow cleanup today.

 

Kudos for all your hard work!

Being born in NH, our comparable breakfast item to grits was cream of wheat; and I didn't even know about grits until I went in the Corps. Fast forward over forty years, and the two southern dishes I still have at least a couple times a month are biscuits & gravy (the bomb) and grits. I know any true southerner would turn their nose up at the instant grits, but I always keep some in the larder for a quick hot breakfast. Friends around here (true New Englanders, not transplants) don't understand how I can eat grits, but after eating countless bowls of the stuff in the south, I think grits are great (I keep it simple with just a bit of butter (not margarine) and a dash of salt).

 

Yes sir, that's the way we cook them, 4 cups of water, 1 tsp salt, about 3 tbls of butter into the water, bring to a boil, stir in 1 heaping cup of quick grits, ...cook awhile then add a big handful of sharp cheddar cheese....
Another variation is to add a can of chopped green chillies...

 

Good Morning All! EODMSgt those biscuits and gravy like SOS? I Have that now and again when I'm nostalgic. Sometimes eat it as fast as I can, standing up...

Dr Appt for me this morning! Have a great day!

 

I'll have to try the green chilies. I do add some hot sauce once in a while.

 

A beautiful sunrise from the homestead...
The kitties were ready for breakfast...

 

Sausage gravy and biscuits is completely different than the old SOS (which is also very good). Most places that try to make biscuits and gravy up here in the northeast don't do it right and make it way too watery. Good, thick, southern biscuits and gravy is one of the best dishes ever created (IMO).

 

Yes sir...
I know this sounds but I sometimes put a little syrup over the top...

 

Doesn't sound crazy to me, I might have try that. I usually end up putting hot salsa on top.

 

Ohh good idea real stuff or corn syrup

 

Will put the Ariens to work this morning with more snow cleanup before the winds kick up. Not sure how much we got, but enough to warrant cleaning it all up (I stopped worrying about how much we get a while ago; snow now just falls into the categories of not needing to be cleaned up, needing to be cleaned up, or needing to do multiple cleanups during the storm (usually for that heavy, wet stuff)). Short driveway but the area I keep clear out back is three times as much (if I can manage to get in the tractor, I'll use that for some of the staging area cleanup). Perfect time to try out my new Black Diamond Mercury mittens to see if they were worth the cost. I've had borderline frostbite on a few occasions so fingers get awfully cold in gloves these days.

Hoping everyone has a safe and healthy day.

 

SOS to me is creamed chipped beef over toast. Mix in chopped hard boiled eggs and have it for supper. YUM!!

 

YUM!

 

I particularly like the fast as you can standing up comment.
