boiled egg
off to the mill now after a lovely boiled egg for breakfast (and two cups of coffee). i love boiled eggs...could eat half a dozen in a sitting if it weren't for the associated gas. no carpool this week since rms is traveling.

i'll have to send y'all some grits. talk about wierd breakfast food.
this just in from google:
The word comes from the Old English "grytt," from means "bran," but the Old English "greot" also meant "something ground." Grits are coarsely ground hominy (corn with the hull and germ removed). Hominy is made from field corn that is soaked in lye water (potash water in the old days) and stirred over the next day or two until the entire shell or bran comes loose and rises to the top. The kernel itself swells to twice its original size. After the remaining kernels have been rinsed several times, they are spread to dry either on cloth or screen dryers. In the Southern United States, it is commonly boiled and served for breakfast or as a dinner side dish. Grits are considered an institution in the South, but rarely found in northern states. Many cookbooks will refer to grits as hominy, because of regional preference for the name.
it works well for reairing loose bricks too.
that should read "repairing loose bricks"
i've had grits before. we had a girl at work who was from florida. on thanksgiving and other US holidays she would bring in traditional american foodstuffs, corn bread, pumpkin pie, pancakes etc. some were fairly nasty but others were taste sensations.
grits kinda looked like a grey, unset concerete if i remember correctly.
tast like it too
Dont betray you herritage Strorg, you know you love grits. You could be considered the Gump of the gritts world..gritts with butter, gritts with cheese , fried gritts , boiled gritts ,instant gritts...
theres a joke in there somewhere, but i'm enjoying my sammich too much.
