Mom thinks that's disgusting. I like the sound of that :-) Strange to see Grits and porridge being discussed. Unfortunately I finished up in hospital last week (again) following a mild heart attack. I was comparing hospital breakfast porridge with the grits I was served in Alabama hospital last year. As the hospital porridge is not to much like the nice stuff I make for myself every morning at home. I suspect the same can be said for the not very exciting first taste of grits :-) On topic, I had put a heap of seedling Chile plants out on the deck for the day to help harden off. After I was carted off to hospital in an ambulance they are looking a bit sad after a week of cold windy weather. They will be tough plants if they manage to survive. Luke I hope all is well.
