Six months ago I ordered grits at a restaurant in Jacksonville Fl. They were so good I asked the server about the recipe. She came back from the kitchen with the recipe. It matched mine except for one more ingredent.


Spill the beans, amigo.


Start with good quality stone ground grits. 4 to 1 liquid to grits ratio. Liquid is 1/2 water, 1/4 chicken stock, and 1/4 milk. Heat gently to a very low boil so you won't burn the milk. Slowly add grits and stir, add salt cover and lower fire to simmer. Stir every 5 minutes while cooking.

After about 10 minutes I add smoked gouda cheese and butter. The ingredent the restaurnt gave me was adding cream cheese. For 1 cup of grits add 1/3 of a slab of cream cheese.

Two things I did/do well are Bloody Marys and stone ground grits. Five years ago while in the French Quarter I ordered a BM and it was better than mine. I asked the server if they would give out the recipe and she said ask the bartender. He gave it to me without question,

I went 2 years ago. Bear lake area is great. Hiked up to Emerial Lake. this area needs it's own permit besides the park pemit. You will see about 20% of vehicles turn around because they don't have the Bear Lake permit.

Timed entry was required and opened at 5 PM moutain time for the next day. first evening I got on line at 5:10 and only a few spots left. Next afternoon at 4:50 I was on the site and 5:00:02 I could book any time I wanted. I used an Atomic clock app. for the time.

Rather than driving you can go by bus which is a nice option. Talk to the people at the welcome center in Estes Park for info.

I just finished cutting up a Cantaloupe and cleaned strawberries. I also got some sweet corn for tomorrow.

Have a local farmer 2 blocks from where I'm staying.

Call your friend who got sick.
We need your budget to properly answer the question.
When they included all SEC teams in the tournament it went to full single.

Before Texas and OK entered the SEC the bottom two teams didn't participate so that was 4 less teams. It was double after the second day.
Jack Tar Spar Varnish for the win. This is a marine coating so it holds up.
