Frankly my dear, I don't give a Damn.

Deer Flys and Sand Fleas rate right up there with the chiggers Writer Dom. Fried fish, grits and hush puppies with onions. The southern BBQ special. I like grits, with butter and salt.

My younger brother calls them "sandy gravy". He always has. He also agrees with Bunny that they have no flavor of their own.

 

[bunny bondage]

heh "sandy gravy" i like that, it's a very accurate description

 

[mdutchess28]

skin relief

let me help you out with your chigger bites:


witch hazel ( wet a wash cloth with it then dab (not rub) the insect bites) the apply BALMEX (yes baby ass cream ) the other kinds of baby ass cream will not work


trust me on this balmex will cure JUST about any skin irritation

 

[entitled]

Monistat 7 also works wonders on all sorts of buggy-type bites. If you get ticks, use acetone nail polish remover to kill them, then pull them with tweezers.

Oh, and i refuse to be called a southerner. i'll be a transplant until the day i die - or the day i learn to enjoy tasteless mush being put in front of me at every meal. Dang southern cooking anyway....

 

[BlondGirl]

I prefer my grits with butter and heavy salt and ground pepper. It is incredible with parmasean cheese stirred in too--but only do that in a plastic throw-away bowl, the cheese sticks to the container like cement.

<<---low carbing right now--pouting 'cause can't have any grits. Guess I'll have just another splenda snow cone.

Grits are pretty good with blue cheese, too.

Gotta love that haute new low country cousine, lol.

haute new low country? You have coined a new phrase. Let's call Emeril so he can devote a whole show to this new cuisine.

 

[niteshade]

i'm not sure what they're actually made of, but imagine this: if you took some paper and left it in water over night, then took it out, mushed it up, and added a generous amount of jizz, that's pretty much what grits is like.

LMAO... Bunny, that is EXACTLY how I feel about grits... Though I too am a member of G.R.I.T.S. having been born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. I don't care WHAT you put on them, butter, sugar, milk, brown sugar... nothing helps.. and in my opinion, jizz tastes much better than grits any day.

No, I was being sarcastic. I think it's funny how some restaurants and chefs have *discovered* grits and other southern foods and made them almost trendy.

Yea though I walk in the valley of Death Valley I shall fear
no evil.

But with losing the entire offensive line, and haven't no depth at all, this could be a long afternoon.

GRITS

you've been swallowing the wrong jizz dear.

As for the subject of grits ... corn, not female ... bb got close early on for an accurate description.

Think paper mache using baby snot to get the newspaper wet.

We used to take a standard cafeteria glass and grind a pile of grits between the tray and the plate, then plate and the glass, just to p/o the kitchen staff. If you've seen the old commercials for super glue, you'll understand what i mean.

Of all the things man can make out of corn, why did he come up with grits? Cornbread is doable, tortillas are better, and if you talk to a European, older Germans especially, they laugh their butts off that we use corn for anything, but stock feed.

i've seen southerners put all manner of condiments on grits to make them palatable, from butter, to sugar, to salt and ketchup, and even syrup.

You just end up with flavored paper mache ala baby snot.

 

[Cleopatra]

I've never tasted paper mache, but I have tasted baby snot (unintentionally!). If grits taste like that, I'll keep my Northern self grit-free.

Anyway, we have scrapple here in Philly. Mmmm...

 

[kayte]

One of few northerners checking in here.


I was born in PA, but raised in WI.

Having grandparents and now parents retired in WNC I have learned some of the 'joys' and all of southern cooking.

One thing that wasn't mentioned here is 'Livermush'. I can't see even trying that, but I guess, no I know people like it.

 

[D's mariposa]

Y'know, I have never like grits, malt o meal or cream o wheat.... But since I grew up in Scotland, the country that gave the world haggis, I wasn't gonna say much.

On the other hand, a nice scarey southern Dom sans grits, now that I might consider!
