Mothering Many

I have a little story and a recipe. They sort of go together. I’ve been taking grits to church the past couple of Sundays, and apparently, i will be bringing them for the rest of my natural life. It started as a joke, and then everyone just enjoyed them so much, that I am going to continue it.

Here’s how I make them. Using 4 parts water and one part grits, add the water to the crockpot, and stir in the grits. Put the whole thing in microwave and cook it on high long enough to bring it to a boil, then put the crock back in the base, and cook it on high for a while, up to a couple hours, depending on how thick you like your grits. I take mine unseasoned, and let people fix them as they like.

Now, I have a wee issue with my crockpot. It has no handles. Umm, no, let me re-phrase. My old crockpot has no handles. I’m getting this one tomorrow:

See the nice handles?? And do you also see the locking lid, perfect for moving a full crockpot from one place to another?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, one word of warning: if you take bacon with your grits, be sure to also take along the best radar detector you can find. You will need it to clock the speed at which the bacon disappears. We clocked out at 6 pounds in 15 minutes, divided by 45ish people. Just sayin’
