Don, you sure know how to make an Ohio boy hungry!
RAD, that Jaxon is pretty smart. He pretty much nailed it, only instead of grits use regular yellow cornmeal (which is a finer grind).
Here's an easy recipe: 1 Part Yellow Cornmeal, 2 Parts water, and a little salt. Cook until thick, then chill overnight in a loaf pan. Slice and fry in butter (or for 3 X the YUM... bacon grease).
If you like grits, then you'll like cornmeal mush.
Tim when you and Art are here on a road trip (maybe for the Ohio Gathering), I'll take you to the Amish Door for the breakfast buffet. Hub should come too, because believe it or not, here in Ohio we DO know how to make sausage gravy too!
