The Grits Thread.
Do we really need a grits thread? Over to you, Oren...

"Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State Anthem."
This is supposedly true. Do grits make you crazy? |
Why are there no grits recipes yet on this thread?

I'm missing Oren more than a plate of grits.

The King of Grits is back. Vacation was OK. It was interrupted last Friday by a call from a friend that was checking up on Molly and Samantha, our two outdoor dogs. She found that Molly had fallen ill, so we made the 4 hour trip back home. Unfortunately, we didn't make it in time and sweet Molly (the yellow lab in picture 9 of the pics I posted a while back) had died. So we had her funeral and buried her in her lot. We then we sadly returned to the beach for the last 3 days of the vacation time.
Be assured that we had plenty of grits while at the coast. Each time, I imagined my friends around the world enjoying the pleasure that I was. ;) |
So sorry.....

My best wishes too, my friend.

Yes. That ought to be even worse than losing a bass. :(
|
Thanks for your thoughts and words. Both Donna and I are dog lovers and losing one is, to us, like losing a member of the family. Molly had been with us for 10 years.
Sorry for my limited visiting, but work has, fortunately, been busy. I'm trying to stay one step ahead of the poor house. :) |
Yes....

Are the grits ready yet Aunt Bea? Aunt Bea responds "No, I've got to wait till Richard gets back from the grits farm. I'm getting worried, he's been gone a good bit. Andy, maybe you should go and check on him." Opie replies "I think I heard him say something about stopping at some BBQ first. Maybe that's why he's running late with the grits." ...TBC

The grits club wishes Richard a Happy Birthday. Ya'll enjoy now, hear. :)
|
Not sure if he's ever had grits (his loss if not) but today, 10/2, is the birthday of a fellow bassist that's fairly well known.
Happy Birthday STING. He's now caught up with Ken and passed me for a few months. :) I know, yadi yadi yadi. |

It's revival time in Dixie. Donna fixed one of my favorites tonight, shrimp and grits. Made me do three things. Whistle Dixie, think about my buds on here that have never had the pleasure, and get a very full belly. YUM YUM. It's also cold in Dixie tonight, but that shrimp and grits will help with that. I believe it'll be a 3 Dog Night - Maci, Max and Pierre. So remember all of you out there in bass land - One IS The Loneliest Number. Enjoy your weekend. :)

I'm glad to see the grits thread back on topic.

http://www.heartlandwines.com.au/med...ck_red_150.jpgthe wine has 90 parker points and is not very expensive. but very good! a perfect match. life is good! |

Once in New Orleans at a Guitar Player magazine breakfast (1985) they had shrimps for the omelets there. I had the shrimps and something else or two in the eggs as well, can't recall. First and only time. It was good. The Shrimps were really fresh. Now, when I was a kid we had two kinds of hot cereal in the house. Wheatena and Farina. To my recollect, the Farina which was white in color (the Wheatena was brown) was Grits or something real close. You think? |

Down here (NZ) the words 'excellent' and 'Australian' are seldom used in the same sentence. Next time try a Gisborne Chardonnay or maybe one from Marlborough. |

i am not a fan of chardonnay, but i will look for the gisbourne. but i also would beg you to give this EXCELLENT AUSTRALIAN WINE a chance. |
Quote:
Someone painted some graffiti on the Sydney Harbour bridge that read, "New Zealand sux!" Some bright spark (obviously a Kiwi) added, "Australia nil." Okay, Anselm, Australians make some good wines and I'm pleased you enjoyed your bottle. |

The joke is about the way Australians (seex) and New Zealanders (sux) pronounce the word 'six'.
|
thanks my friend richard. i think i understand it now.
now tell me more about your positive experiences with australian wine please |

I generally buy NZ over Aussie, but for no real reason. It's just that I have a few favourite labels. I have a friend who was in the wine industry for years. You can read his thoughts here. Kennen sie einen gewissen Ullrich Hauke aus Essen ? A young German friend who is studying in NZ wrote that. He knows a guy called Haukey who might be related to you. |
