    Even with my French-Canadian accent, I am 53& Dixie...Well, it's nice to know that I belong. It must be the two years I lived down in Houston, in the sixties. Still have some good friends there.

    OK, but here is the acid test.

    1. Do you eat grits for breakfast?

    and if you do

    a. Do you add sugar on them?

    b. Or just eat them plain?

    I tried polenta with maple syrup. But grits for breakfast? A bit too heavy!

    My friends used to say: If you aint never ate grits, you aint never been fed!

    I wish to add that I enjoy the new presentation of your blog. It's clear and spacey.

    I also like the news and the links you offer. Difficult to hear the whole truth from CNN!

    Thank you for the kind words. I do try and provide some additional links rather than the usual MSM. I find the Telegraph, Scotsman, Int'l Tribune and CBT very helpful.

    As for grits, I was raised on "thickening gravy." You add flour and water to the grease in the frying pan and stir until it turns thick and brown, served with eggs and ham/bacon/chicken.

    In the summer we also had sliced tomatoes, scallions lettuce. In the winter we had sliced onions and pickle relish to give flavor.

    We almost no money, but we ate good!

    It hit the spot at 6AM, after we had fed the cattle and milked the cows, by hand I might add.
