I'm partial to " Georgia Ice Cream " myself, and for you yankees that's better know as grits to you.
Good Afternoon, As a southern born boy my grandma, God Bless her, often made grits. Sometimes we ate them like kids eat cereal today, and at other times we ate them as a side dish to bacon and eggs. How I would love to see her cooking on the old wood stove again. She also ironed her clothes using the old time cast iron "iron" that was heated on the wood stove. How she could handle the heat isn't know but Grandma Ida Morris Robinson did it. Surprisingly, many of the local restaurants serve grits. Of course we are a farming and recreational community. Back in the big city when you ask for grits the waitress looks like I just asked her to unrobe. Unless she is southern born she just says "huh". Angus "Scotty" Robinson
I still cook grits for breakfast as well as when we have fish. Cornbread almost everyday.Biscuits 4 or 5 times a week. Beans, peas, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, cukes, onions,squash and okra out of our garden,out of the freezer or off the canning self. I am making crab apple jelly, fig preserves and pear preserves today. Pepper jelly tomorrow and O have already made salsa. Billie ----- Original Message ----- From: Angus P.

Before we get blasted for posting off the topic, I have to mention the nectar of the Gods--- Georgia peaches! I have never tasted anything so wonderful in my life!

This Georgia peach will never "blast" listmembers. An occasional E-Mail to and individual is usually all that is necessary. I want this list to be fun. Just don't get too carried away with anything. Faye :-)
