When I was having my first son in Memphis, I was
so excited when they told me there were grits on
my breakfast plate. But when I began eating, I
discovered that they had covered them with sugar! Ugh! No, no no!!!!

Hi. I too love grits. I make them on the stove
but you can make them in the microwave. I put
one half cup of grits in a pan and add two cups
of water. I also add salt and pepper plus a
generous amount of butter. I stir all of this
around until the grits absorb the water and the
sound you hear from the cooking changes. But, I
have also bought instant grits followed the
directions and cooked them in the microwave
about thirty seconds or until the texture is
right. Of course you can make those grits
patties probably by adding an egg, green onions
or however you make them. I have never done it
and can only suspect you add more butter and
bake them in a greased pan or dish for a while
until they are done. I used to fry up corn meal
mush which is similar. I don't know if this
helps but I agree that grits are essencial to
happiness. We mix them with scrambled eggs and
find true food perfection. Good luck and have

I'm the same way. I'm glad this topic came up
because while I make grits for our breakfast
fairly often I haven't had polenta in ages so
I'll need to correct that very soon. Since
we're talking about corn. I have to say the corn
on the cob has been exceptionally yummy this
summer. I love the stuff! > > > > -----Original
