Do they make instant grits, I can't wait around all day for my grits to cook.

What is a grit anyway, sounds like something you get if you don't suit up before relating to your lady friend in a horizontal manner.

Its a warm, corn-based cereal. In that sense, grits are a lot like oatmeal or cream-of-wheat. I don’t care for warm cereals, so I’ve got to be pretty hungry to go near a bowl of the stuff. My wife is from PA, and first ate grits on a trip we took to New Orleans. The porridge subsequently became her favorite breakfast food. Of course, she likes oatmeal, too.

San Antonio, Austin...well hell the whole state was shut down yesterday...no school, no work, no nada. Today its a paltry 35 degrees.

Saturday we are back in the 70's.

I hate cold weather.

Having lived in Texas for several years, I love grits, which I hardly ever find here in New York. I love mine with butter, but I'll pass on the pepper!{sm4}
 
butter...salt...pepper...

a couple of up eggs...sausage or bacon and biscuits w/honey...

that's how I like them...

first two years I owned the restaurant...

I was open 24 hours a day...

after 2 years of battling with the 2:00 AM stupid drunks...guns...knives...batons...fists...

scared for my life...I went to a full service dinner menu...closing at 10:00 PM...

but in the early days...when I was open 24 hours...I had a Denny's style menu...

eggs...omelets...waffles...pancakes...

I saw people ask for their grits with:
maple syrup...
honey...
melted cheese on them...
milk...
diced onions...
throw them on top of their eggs...etc...

there is no wrong way to eat grits...
you eat them the way you grew up eating them...

We had a a major snowstorm in our area last (NW NJ). It was supposed to be around three to five it wound up being more like 10. I had to go out at the height of the storm to pick up my son from work. What is normally a 20 minute ride turned into 50 and involved going up and down two major hills on a road called Schooley's Mountain Road, which was aptly named. If you didn't have four wheel drive -- and many didn't -- you weren't going to get up and down that mountain. As soon as I got into the car, with the snow blowing so that you couldn't see five feet in front of you, I knew this was going to be one heck of an experience. It was probably the worst snow driving conditions I've experienced since 1974 when I drove from Washington DC to Nashville on I 81 in blizzard conditions in a rear wheel drive car without chains.

Some photos from the backyard.



 
Couple more.





Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be in the mid 60s to 70 so this will be just a memory. Go figure.

The thing about this last snowstorm is that it'll all be gone by the middle of the week. It's already around 40, and Wednesday is supposed to give us temperatures in the 60s. I may take my bike out, if the roads are dry.

Prost!

We got about 5" here in Germantown. Beautiful morning, everything white and icy looking under gray skies and fog, then as the day moved on, the sun came out and temps hit 50. Every bit of the snow is gone except the rogue patch or two with temps headed towards the mid-70's by Tuesday. :rolleyes2: -- Al
 
I think we got a little over 2 inches here in North Wilmington, and the streets were clear early from rising temp and bone dry by late morning. We've been lucky. Even during the cold block in Dec/Jan we were getting only small snow doses of 1 to 3". But it's still early, and I've seen snow in May in NY. In Nov. I remember 2 meteorologists suggesting that this would be a warmer than normal winter. Then when the cold block hit I wondered what they were drinking. But for the last month it has been warmer than expected, so though late maybe they were right. We'll see.

I remember hearing predictions that we would have a relatively mild winter, too. And maybe the Farmer's Almanac also called for it. But such predictions were rapidly lost as the weathertainment industry beat the drum for every approaching snowstorm, every dip in temperature. So far, I think the predictions of a milder winter have been borne out. Now, it does seem that we've had more drastic changes in the cycle of cold and thaw, than we've had in the recent past.

Prost!

How long can it be until every storm cloud or rain event becomes a named storm in order to feed the news cycle? This just in...Storm cloud Ralph cast a dark shadow over Wilkes-Barre this morning... -- Al
