used about 1-3/4 cups coarse grits and 1/2 gallon milk. seasoned with salt, red pepper and a little steen's to fight the bitterness of the corn. added a block of sharp cheddar.

first off, should've used half the cheese
probably would've had better luck with sugar instead of the cane syrup.

Someone hook me up with some advice.

Used fajita steaks sliced about 1/2" against the grain for some grillades. Excellent

As much as I hate him, Emeril's smoked cheddar grits are slamming. My wife makes them one every few weeks, and they're stupid good.

For the Smoked Cheddar Grits:
6 cups water
Salt
1 1/2 cups quick cooking or old-fashioned grits (not instant!)
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
6 ounces grated smoked white Cheddar
Freshly ground black pepper
In a large, heavy saucepan bring the water to a boil. Add a generous teaspoon of salt and the grits and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. When grits thicken, add the milk, cream and butter and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover the sauce pan and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until grits are very tender, smooth, and creamy-thick. Add the Cheddar, season with black pepper, and stir until cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Grits don't need sugar or sweetness. Grits aren't bitter. Way too much dairy. Cook grits with water...add a bit of cream in the end if you wish. You figured the cheese issue out yourself. But, if you want cheese in your grits, finish the grits and then blend in the cheese.

Zea Rotisserie And Grill's Roasted Corn Grits

2 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 stick butter
1 cup golden corn
1 cup yellow grits (Do not use instant grits.)


To grill corn, shuck off husk. Lightly butter corn cob and grill over charcoal or open fire until slightly blackened.
Cool corn and cut kernels from cob with sharp knife.
Bring chicken broth to a boil. Add heavy cream and return to boil.
Slowly whisk in the grits and then the corn.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 5 to 6 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

I knew I could count on you for something funny and witty. I had to wait too long though. I need a heck of a lot more than just an eye exam

I saw the same thing. I was looking for a link while I digging out my American Express wondering how many easy payments I would have to make.

Would that be your proctologist, or the other guy?

I am all too aware of this, but I chose not to give you too much grief on a Monday. I believe I will reconsider that choice.

GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER, CHOC! Now, say 10 Hail Marys and 5 Our Fathers.

Sounds like a personal problem. There is always "the van down by the river" alternative...what kinda job do you really have?

Why do you like bossing me around so much. Other than nothing, what did I ever do to you?

Can you really picture me in "the van down by the river"?

A good one.

You neglected to use proper punctuation.

I don't boss you around. I just attempt to make you a better person. You're welcome.
