thanks for the info Inkjunkie!!! I have worked with number of "real" south of Grande Mexicans. I learned quie a few words, but never pronoun any correctly ( always with southern slant, and never seen the words in print!!???
I do love mex. or tex-mex food. it looks good, not sure of the cactus thing! LOL
greens!????? I have found Swiss Chard to be a great growning MILD green, here in Missouri.
here's a receipe ( lots of people don't care for grits. ( NO, it's not a cereal like cream of wheat!) LOL
basically this is it, cook up your grits, add enough SHARP cheddar cheese to bring it to good orange color, let it COOL. yes salt and pepper, ( some people add a little garlic powder... yuk!).... add a few eggs and mix in. put it in over and bake a while. the eggs makes it a little lighter and fluffier ( southern word for " fluffier!)/
i'm sure La folks will add some rice and crawdads!!???? LOL Merry Christmas!!!!
you can tell i'm a REAL ccok as my directions are fairly inprocise!!????? LOL
