Grits – The Multipurpose Breakfast Food #FirstWorldProblems

By on · 2 Comments

This morning I faced a tradgey in my kitchen.  You see, I had the eggs, cheese, sausage and toast needed for a stellar breakfast.  I was ready to begin my breakfast journey when I discovered to my horror that there were NO GRITS in my pantry.

How could this be?

Whatever would I do?

The basis of all good breakfasts.

How am I supposed to have a breakfast without grits?  You see, anything goes in grits – you can put the cheese, eggs, and sausage in the grits and they taste good.  You can eat them alone with pepper and they taste good.  You can put them on toast and they taste good.  Grits is really the staple of any breakfast you could think about it.  In fact, I even wrote about grits in my novel:

Katy’s only redeeming quality is that she knew what grits were. Really.

So I posted on facebook asking someone to bring me grits:

No one brought me grits :(

I asked my mom to bring me grits:

!!!!!!!!

But she ignored me.

So this morning, I had to go grits-less with my breakfast.

I don’t quite know how I’ll survive.

    Ummm. SO PROUD. My Chicagoan friends couldn’t even find grits in their grocery store. Quaker Oats is fine and all… but you gotta have my momma’s dirty grits. Especially when they’re the yellow grits from the mill in the lowcountry of SC. So good it should be illegal. Bacon, eggs, ham, sausage, cheese (lots of it. cheddar.)… LORD! My momma can cook. If you’re ever down this way, you’ll have to let me know.

      Dude, my mom is from the south, Florida to be exact, and there is NOTHING like grits from the south. When I was in Wisconsin I missed them so bad. Only Perkins had them, and they didn’t put cheese in it. WTF.
