Hey Cousin Marilyn!!! You knew I had to join in when food or drinking came up!! Going to MS Sunday to train two of my grandsons for a BBQ contest the next weekend. We'll be cooking all week to get everything where I can just sit back and sip and point. I'm not allowed to do anything but advise. You are right! If grits aren't cooked right, they can be some kind of bad!!

OH, boy, lucky folks if you are teaching how to BBQ, F.R. I still remember your ribs...best ever...and everything else you ever cooked on your locomotive. Does that old guy still sell the tamales and do you still eat those fried chicken livers...or was it gizzards...in MS? Hope you have a great trip. Take it easy and watch those young ones learn how to to cook. Whoooo-eeee!
