That's me - up here anyway - I don't think I stood out as 'southern' down south - but up here I sure do. I probably won't ever say about like 'a boat' or roof like 'ruff' - but I do try to fit in and say 'fer funny' or 'fer sweet' whenever I can - of course with my accent it's bound to sound funny to their ears - I just know they're thinking - 'oh fer cute - she's trying to talk like us...'
A gentleman at church the other day asked the Man what a 'grit' was - and he thought that was funny as we had never heard it used in the singular.
The Man-Cub is still not very fond of grits - when he was a toddler we used to make cream of wheat and call it grits - then one time I gave him 'real' grits and he said 'No Mama - I don't like sand in them' - I know Awww - fer sweet...
Anywhooo - I do love my grits. The Man orders them from http://www.mybrandsinc.com/ShopOnline/catalog.asp We have to buy a case at a time - but we can eat a case of grits...
I make mine extra creamy by adding a bit more water and the Earth Balance while they are cooking and I stir them quite a bit too.
that does look yummy. it's almost 80 degrees here today - but there's a cold front on the way. tomorrow is supposed to be about 30 degrees cooler...brrrrr i'm sure the grits will sound good tomorrow morning!

Highs have been in the 30s here most days so it's pretty chilly. The Man eats sugar in his grits - I should have posted that - it's so gross...

I'm with the man-cub, I don't care much for grits. Everyone to his own taste, I say, sugar and all. E
ReplyDeleteHey Mom,
ReplyDeleteI did remember that you don't like grits. Are you like the Man-Cub and think there's sand in them...
Love,
