Who ever thought of poppin that thing out and boilin it I have no idea. But i"m glad they did.
Once upon a time there was a farmer. He grew white corn. He had 4 strong and husky sons.
They picked corn and threw it in a horse-drawn cart. They needed firewood. They cut firewood and threw it in on top of the corn until the cart was fairly creaking and groaning with the weight of it and the horse strained and pulled and strained and pulled, and with the help of the farmer and his sons pulling and straining too, they all got home.
They unloaded the wood from the cart then took the corn to Mrs. Farmer. She shucked the corn and yelled, "Lordy me y'all smashed the corn! All I have left are these little white thangs that squoze out out of the kernels. I'm gonna dry them and feed them to you."
Lo, and behold, after it was all dried out there was a white, gritty substance and she called them grits. Mrs. Farmer cooked them and stirred and stirred and stirred until they were tender. Then she served them up with eggs and sausage and salt and butter and pepper and they were so good that they ate squoze-out corn all the time. _________________

Well, dang! I was going to try this recipe and grabbed the grits out of the cupboard. I had them stored in one of those FoodSaver canisters that you can vacuum seal. Well the seal didn't keep and I grabbed it by the lid and well...
Dang! Dang! Dang! Grits all over everywhere.
Gonna have to get me some more. _________________
