Llama,

For what it’s worth, my friend, a pharmacist who gave the vaccine to me earlier told me that the reactions to vaccines have been very mild.

I had to fill out a short form. Once they have your information, you are then called to get your shot.

They asked me to hang out for 15 minutes before leaving. I have not had any reaction, hopefully it will stay that way.

Need: Thank you. We do, too, but we're 74 and 70 with no underlying health issues. Yes, people should definitely get the vaccine.

That’s great, Llama. I hope you get it very soon.

I hope most everyone else will be sensible enough to get it as well.

The more people who get it, the better for all of us!

EB,

What other grains do you cook? I have only cooked bulgar a few times but I like it.

Same with quinoa. I like that too. I need to cook it more.

We grabbed a meal (burgers) from a restaurant to take out after leaving the pharmacy.

I am so glad that I got my first COVID-19 shot!

I have been saying thanks to Jesus, Mary, Joseph, all the angels and saints (My Catholic upbringing) for having a friend who is a pharmacist that was able to give my husband and I the vaccine.

We got the Moderna one. Next shot scheduled in a month.

It’s a bit unorganized here in Louisiana.

Only 70 and up are scheduled for the vaccines.
We are 65.

People are signing up on different lists.

They don’t bother to call and cancel on the other lists.

My friend is not going to throw vaccines away so she calls her friends, neighbors, etc to see who wants a vaccine.

I am extremely grateful that she called us!

EB,

Bob’s has good products.

My daughter has tried the soaking recipes for oats. She likes them.

I cook mine. I grew up with Quaker Oats. Bobs is so much better!

NeedHelp, I love Bob's Red Mill products too. I get organic buckwheat pancake and waffle mix, steel cut oatmeal add frozen wild blueberries, delicious with VT pure maple syrup and unsalted butter. I also buy Bob's almond flour, so delicate. I love steel cut oatmeal or regular with bananas, maple syrup or brown sugar, chopped pecans or pistachios with a light cream and butter. Yummy. I would like to try soaking the oats overnight, and serve it warm or cold. I might try adding peanut butter.

cwille,

I live in New Orleans and we eat grits on a regular basis here!

No one puts that much butter in them. Just a tablespoon or so!

i’ve never used that much butter in grits. A couple of teaspoons at most. Cheese may be a half cup shredded.

Elaine,
I just read a recipe where you could make GRITS in an Instapot.

Luckylu,
Every time you mention Cream of Wheat, it reminds me. I love it!

This topic is interesting to me because my Mil was hungarian and made really good Hungarian Goulash with Hominy Grits. Big fat kernels of corn, in white corn or yellow corn. It can be found in cans in the mexican food section of markets.
Tomato sauce, hamburger. Cheese on top.

Apparently, Hominy Grits can be ground to make grits. Maybe, if using the canned variety, (already soft), mashing them like mashed potatoes would turn out a coarse grit breakfast cereal. I could be wrong.

I've been reading recipes for gits and they almost all include cups of butter and/or pounds of cheese, no wonder you like them so much!

Grits in Canada?
"Grits, as a finished dish, has not been a common element of the Canadian diet. But it should be. The raw ingredient, dried and coarsely ground corn, is only a variation of cornmeal, or polenta, so much so that on many menus the terms are interchangeable."

Amazon Canada has grits/polenta:
"Bob's Red Mill White Corn Grits, 680 gm
Brand: Bob's Red Mill"

Substitutes:
"Can you substitute cornmeal for grits? While grits and cornmeal can be substituted for each other, cornmeal is considerably finer and will give you a dish with a much smoother texture than grits."

CWillie, When in Canada, ask a Canadian, Lol.
Ever hear of a "Grit-nap?" Check out this article...

Now you have me curiously seeking a local supplier.... I've never looked for grits in the bulk food store, I wonder if I can find some there? Of course that will have to wait until after I can make a trip to the city.

Cwillie, buy the course ground corn meal for a more authentic experience of grits. White corn if available.

cwille,

You have stumped me! I have never even thought of that before. We take grits for granted here! LOL

The texture is different for sure. I don’t think it would work out well. If you try it, please let me know!

I like polenta. I have had it in restaurants. Grits are more common here. But you’re right, it’s all corn.

Ooooh, you have me curious now.

Since I have a southerner to ask I want to know your opinion, is there much of a difference between grits and the basic cornmeal I can buy to make cornbread? If it is just a matter of the different coarseness does that really change things?
(I have used the regular finely ground cornmeal to make polenta)

cwille,

Could you order grits online?

When my uncle first left New Orleans and settled in New Jersey he had us mail items to him.

Later on he started ordering online. He would order grits, Camellia brand beans, Cafe du Monde coffee, etc.

I sent him Southern Candy Pralines (the best in New Orleans on Decatur St.) and King Cakes at Mardi Gras time.

I read about grits and I've always been curious to try them but you can't buy them here, I've never seen them in any regular supermarket.

Bridger,

I had no idea! I always view it as a southern food. I eat with butter, sometimes cheese. Never had with syrup. I love shrimp and grits!

Wow! Glad that your family likes them.

Lucky,

I love cream of wheat. My daddy ate cream of wheat and I wanted everything that daddy had!

My mom never ate breakfast. I guess she was so busy taking care of us that she didn’t have time.

She always said that she wasn’t hungry.

Need, Grits are popular here - rural eastern Ohio. I serve regularly. I like plain with butter. Husband and sons like with maple syrup. I also fix cheese grits and grits with shrimp S side dishes. We all like fried grits
