dcp, my sister hated raisins, so when I made oatmeal cookies for her, I substituted butterscotch chips. The recipe did include pecans, which she was OK with, so it wasn't a major change to the recipe.

Mmmm, grits. Nice spicy shrimp & grits is a favorite, but really just butter is fine too. I'll take all your raisins and oatmeal raisin cookies too!

The butterscotch chips were good. I like raisins well enough, but I do prefer the cookies with the chips.

When my brother lived in a smallish town in west Texas, he ordered grits at the local diner and asked for cheese to be added. The cook and everyone, apparently, looked at him like he was nuts but obliged him. Thereafter, every time he went there to eat he was greeted with "Cheese grits!" like Norm at Cheers.

Mmmm, cheese grits. I didn't eat grits until I was well into my 20s because not a thing in NY when I was raised. It took some effort to talk me into trying them in Virginia, but it was love at first taste.

Ditto (we'll, butter and salt). And butterscotch chips in there would also make me happy. In the cookies, that is.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My oatmeal gets blueberries, unsweetened applesauce, and either a scoop of protein powder or a teaspoon of peanut butter. Also makes a damn fine dinner.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've told you about the woman who expressed her disappointment and dissatisfaction with her husband by packing him a cold grits sandwich, unseasoned, on white bread, right? You pack the leftover grits in a glass loaf dish and refrigerate it, then the next morning you slice the grits and fry them and serve the slices with eggs. Or in a pique, you slice off a slice of grits, slap it between two slices of Wonder bread and pack it like lunch. No news on the reception and whether he mended his ways.

A cold grits sandwich seems like a metaphor for something
