Taste sorta reminiscent of pumpkin.  Texture sorta like slime ;) ;D :)  Not bad though.  We thought it might be good spread on toast :)

I gotta say, that Tom works wonders with ground up corn. He put a big pat of butter in the center of my helping of grits and Gods honest truth, I was looking for more when mine were gone. I even asked Tom if we could have them again before I came home, and ya know what, I DIDN'T GET EM! >:(

Toms got two salt shakers. One is a little taller than the other. You all had the short one on the other side of the table. I got the taller one and salted my grits.  ................ It wasn't salt.  It was sugar. .. YUK

It's sure fun cooking for fellows that like to eat.  See that bearded fellow on the other side of the table?   He didn't say much 'cause his mouth was full.  

I honestly wanted to fix another breakfast or something so that Jeff could have some more "Tom" grits but the opportunity didn't arise.  It was a real compliment when he said, "I'd like some more grits but their gone."  Usually I fix too many.  I was real proud of myself for fixing a batch that put a heaping amount on everybody's plate and made the pot empty.  Wish I had  made more now.  :D

Now, Woodbowl?   You know that weren't no salt shaker.   It was a big round jar with a flapper cap on top.  I didn't see how much sugar you got on your grits.  Was it a lot?   You might have to come back over sometime and get another serving to make up for it.  :)

Big round Jar? ........ No, it was like a taller shaker. I thought it shook out a little funny. I didn't get much on them, just enough to let me know it was sugar.



It sure got quiet there for a while after we started eating. Eating breakfast at 4:00 in the afternoon sorta' does that. It looks like DanG has his mind on his buisness.

Those photos sure do make me lonesome for that morning Day. Amazing what a good time us coots had just sitting around talking. We didnt get to breakfast until afternoon and after probably 6 pots of coffee, and didnt even get outside until well after 4:00

Walking through Tom's woods and all of a sudden Jeff reaches down and comes up with a deer antler.
