I like the idea of a prayer-powered microwave oven.

'Mel's Diner' is not a programme I've seen over here.

Ah, HP, what you've missed. "Kiss my grits!"

Then again, I wonder what you've seen.

I fear that what HP has seen might make you blush, Mags

I figure HP has seen things that would make ALL of us blush.

Forsooth, I can only think of one instance in the past twenty years that made me blush and he is no longer in my vicinity.

You're too young for anything else, Mags.

As too "Kiss my grits". despite my having tried to look it up I still have trouble
understanding it/them. You see, we grind oats, not corn (maize ?).
But it still makes a sort of porridge. . .

I think I'll get another coffee. . . .

Hey, I used "forsooth" and everything, I swear, I'm a grown-up.

Try this - Kiss my Grits

It's not a word that I've often seen (except in a few 'Pirate' films)

I never saw any waitresses anything like those three.

They combined quite well! The whole gist of the series was to prop up the idea of a working mother trying to support her child (PC language today would say "single mother"), while being supported by a small community of females--as well as showing the women didn't have to back down just because a man tried to steamroll them. They defended themselves verbally and sometimes otherwise; they could make it just fine under their own power if they so chose.

If you haven't guessed the context yet, "kiss my grits" was an uber-nice way of saying "kiss my a**."

"Kiss my grits" was one of those catchphrases of the time that you pretty much had to live through to really appreciate now.

Kind of like: "Keep on truckin'" and "Book 'em, Danno."

"Book 'im, Danno" was one that has survived in England, as far as I can see.
I always felt sorry for Danno; he always got the bloody paperwork.

I never saw "Kiss My Grits" that I can recall, though older family members said it a lot.

Whenever I see or hear it, I think of:

"Grits! Grits! Harmony grits!" (Spelling phonetically best I can recall)

"How should I know how many?! Count 'em yourself!"

I tried grits once, didn't care for it.

I'll settle for Porige Oats (Scotts for preference). See here.

I do like the steel cut oats, preferably with berries and maple syrup.

Never tried maple syrup, but I have used Treacle a great many times.
(Treacle is also excellent on hot buttered toast).

Grits are eaten a lot round here. But, for them to taste good, you have to cook them right (on the stove ) with lots of butter and salt. Perhaps not the most good for you dish, haha.

Everything tastes better with butter

Cats are easy to herd...so long as you have a loud can opener.
