It is a good thing I washed the grits!

[oneighty]

'Cause a whole hundreds a little maggot looking things rose to the water surface.

I scooped them away with the little dip net we use for cleaning the gold fish bowl. I think I got them all.

1. You've got weevils

and you're going to need to go through all your grain products. They spread. Keep stuff in ziplocs.

[oneighty]

5. My grits is high in proteins

unlike ordinary grits.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

6. Your weevils are VERY happy bugs.

[oneighty]

7. Do you warsh your grits Grannie?

I am a yankee our grits do not get them there weevil things.

We got India Moth-'Pantry pests'. It all started with twenty five pound bags of bird seed.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

40. Don't warsh the grits

but I've had those moths. Awful things. There is one store in town where you KNOW you will get them.

[oneighty]

42. Pantry pests

They do make good traps for them. Our daughter and her family lived with us for a year while remodeling their house. She was a bulk buyer of beans rice etc. And with the bulk came the pests. Like WOW!.

[KitchenWitch]

12. Butter

and sometimes real maple syrup.

[oneighty]

16. We have grits at least once a week

My wife is a southern girl she knows all about grits.

I was a poor little yankee boy living in Ramer Tenn with my dear old step grand mother before WW2 started. It is there I first had grits and sorghum molasses and cornbread and fried squirrel and greens. That grannie used snuff. She was a sweet old thing. She was raising a Tom Turkey for thanksgiving. He died of old age.

That is how she was that Grannie.

3. Well, I did.

Now I just feel kinda nauseated.

[wildhorses]

4. not like that I don't

eeeww

[Berserker]

8. Id rather eat

the weevils at least they would have some flavor.

[oneighty]

10. Well there is some truth there.

Grits gotta be flavored. There are many ways to do that. Soft boiled eggs are good. Just mix with the grits and stir. Add salt and lotta pepper.

180

[wildhorses]

17. ya gotta know how to eat 'em

being raised on 'em helps:

2 eggs over easy
2 strips crisp bacon
2 slices of light brown toast
real butter
homemade jams of various fruits
hot coffee w/ real cream


cut up eggs, crumble up bacon, mix together with grits
use one slice of toast to spoon this concoction on to one spoonful at a time

finish by eating the other slice with the jam


YUMMY


you are making me homesick for my Grandma and Grandpa

22. thanks oneighty

all meals at Grandma's were awesome but, breakfast time was extra special...did not realize that the word grits could lead to the tears but, they were welling up in my eyes as I typed that post.
I will NEVER get good farm raised home cooking like that again and it is a shame that the whole world did not have one of Grandma's good breakfasts...nothing to start the day like a hot meal!!

[oneighty]

25. Memories are good.

Tears are punctuation marks.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. All your grits are belong to us

Signed,

The Weevils

[JitterbugPerfume]

13. Grits are delicious with

shredded cheddar cheese and maple syruple

[JitterbugPerfume]

14. also they are good with

milk butter and sugar

[DS1]

15. That's absolutely disgusting

[oneighty]

18. Maybe so

But one cannot be too careful with grits. Sometimes rice must be washed too. Grits is the worst though.

180

[ET Awful]

37. Hehehe, why is it that every time I think of grits now

I think of My Cousin Vinnie?

:evilgrin:

[amitten]

19. Not anymore, I don't! n/t

[GrpCaptMandrake]

20. As you rinsed them, you may have noticed some

weevils were smaller than others. Likely, as you strained them, you pulled out the big ones, but may have missed some small ones.

That's OK. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two weevils.

[oneighty]

23. Yes that is true grits

GrpCaptMandrake

[GrpCaptMandrake]

26. I love grits and am

from NC. All you need is butter, salt, and a lot of black pepper. A lot of restaurants in the north are serving grits, only they call it polenta.:eyes:

[oneighty]

28. We were fishermen

in South Carolina. Had a lot of shrimper friends from Salterpath area.

They also harvested clams oysters and scallops in Pamlico sound (I think it was) Old man forgets. OTOH I might have grit's worms in my head.

Sigh. Hahahahaha

[JitterbugPerfume]

34. Kiss my grits

someone had to say it

[redwitch]

35. a restaurant in Grand Central Station serves grits

with porcini mushroom flavor- OMG they are sooooo good!

[bbinacan]

36. I lived in NYC in 89

what restaurant? Is it new or could it have been around in 89?

[redwitch]

38. mettrazur?

on one of the balconies, don't know how long it's been around. I don't get to the city nearly enough.

[cynatnite]

39. Grits are great for getting rid of ants

Best secret of the south I found since living here.

Make a pile of grits and sugar, put them under the house and in a matter of days, the little shits will all be dead. :evilgrin:

on edit: it's environmentally friendly and you don't have to deal with that horrible spray, powders or anything else like that.

[HawkerHurricane]

41. I'm not very hungry.

I'll just have one grit.
