Dear Ace and Larrikin:
I don't know what Spirit Rider sent you but to my understanding real grits is
nothing more than small hominy corn kernals grown in the Southern States, thus
the term hominy grits. They are processed by soaking in lye to remove the husks
and I would assume they are rinsed after that. That is also how hominy is
processed. I love hominy also. I read an article about a palce in Eastern
Kentucky that makes stone ground grits using spring water, still using an old
water powered mill from the 19th Century. i would like to try them some day but
right now I am in a financial situation where I ought not to be spending money
on non-essential items and food.
I don't come from The South and the only time I had lived there was at Ft.
Leonardwood,� Mo. for Army Basic and then on to Ft. Benning, Ga. for Infantry
School where I Received Christ as my savior. I love the Southern Spring but the
summer is too blame hot for me. I have vacationed to many Southern States. The
people in the South are very friendly, I like the outdoors like many
Southerners do and I love their food.
I would live in the South if it weren't for the hot summers and not enough
snow. The places I like to travel to in the summer, the fall and even in the
winter is Northern� Wisconsin U.P. Michigan and Minnesota the food I have in
common with folks up there is Lutefisk which is a Nrwegian dish which is cod
fish soaked in lye rinsed and dried and then boiled and served with salt and
pepper and drawn lemon butter.� There is nothing like those 70 degree summers
up there beneath a canopy of forest and lakes to swim and fish in. I like
Washington and Oregon too� Duane, but I can't seem to ever get out there. It
seems I am a born Mountain Man.
A lot of this hasn't much to do with Rangers except that at a FCF Trace
sometime,I wouldn't mind a good helping of genuine hominy grits with ham salt
and pepper and plenty of butter along with blackeye peas, bacon and eggs and
maybe some red-eye gravy.
Since I started this grits issue I would do right to help clarify things and
eventually get back to Ranger stuff.
