Foul! (Fowl?) No fair.
1) don't be a grits hater and expect love at first sight. It's like grand
old Scotch; you have to give grits a chance.
2) don't expect best results from bargain bulk bins
3) One of our Sunday morning breakfast feasts is grits with red-eye gravy*
and a small ham steak. I use 'quick' grits. NOT instant and NOT the kind
that enjoy hours of cooking and stirring. I add at least a cup of cheddar,
a stingy teaspoon of plain jar mustard, toss in some parsley, sneak in just
a little garlic and a hefty splat of white pepper.

Please be careful with the snipping, Sheldon. I didn't write half of
what you quoted.

Well, darn! So, how did your grits casserole turn out? Did you like it?

Thanks for the photo - that empanada looks very good! What are its
innards - er, ingredients (skip the dough part, please)? TIA.

If you're trying to appeal to his sense of social consciousness, you better
get up early and pack a lunch.

I admit I didn't specifically put cheese in the search engine. I wanted
to see if it would come up without it. And I do believe you would kid
about that. lol

Not a programmer but my specialty is, ironically, search engine
architecture and O&M.

Yeah, I don't know why google started doing that with quoted search
terms, and expanding or correcting your spelling in the search results.
Example, I was just trying to search for a maker of some stainless steel
sauce pans I have, which say Senak engraved on the bottom and google
gave me results for snake, sneak, anything BUT "Senak". Not helpful.
