I liked mah grits with milk ‘n sugah, which earnt me a whuppin’ more‘en once. “Youse Southern bone-n-bred, boy. Ack lac it,” Pepaw said, scrapin’ mah plate to the dawgs purt near ever’ mornin’. “Dang Yankee,” he muttered. Didn’t make no differnts though, I doused ’em good. Them grits, Yankee-style, taste like fraydum. Lisa H.
