Cheese grits

The ultimate in comfort food. Next to Campbell's Tomato Soup, that is.

I don't have any tomato soup on the shelf currently, although Cindy said she'd bring me some. In lieu of soup, I made a bowl of cheese grits. Isaac and Rick ate about half of it, but I still got enough to warm my sore throat and help me feel a little better.

I make grits using the plain quick grits, whatever brand. I happen to be using the Wal-Mart generic kind. I cook them in the microwave using half water and half milk (cooking them in some milk seems to give them a more velvety texture). Once they're cooked, I add butter and American cheese slices and stir them around until they're melted. Plebeian, I know, but work with me here. Stilton just wouldn't work in grits anyway.

Tonight was awards night at the kids' AWANA meeting. Isaac memorized 18 verses, Martha 26, and Alice 41. Tomorrow night is Alice's harp recital and Martha's piano recital.

There are interesting developments on the job front for Rick. I can't say more about it right now, but I wanted everyone to know that things were happening. In another couple or three weeks I'll hopefully be able to tell you more.
