My folks had a ceramic countertop in their kitchen, it was 50 years old this year and the grout is still white. I think it depends on what you do to the grout and how often you clean your counter
tops. Ceramic appeals to me because you can set a pot right on it without worrying plus we're kinda sloppy when we cook. <VBG>

I think she is too but she's so used to it she never says anything about it. I don't mind as I was the youngest of three and the other two had left home by the time I was 9 years old. Learned to cook
and clean from both my parents and my Dad's mother. Ma Shirley ran cafes and restaurants for most of her life and I worked for her a lot from 10 or 12 years until I went into the military at 17.
Shucks, I like cooking and don't mind cleaning too much.
