It has two syllables, you know. 8-] I never could figure out why on earth anybody'd put sugar in 'um! GAG! Salt and butter is all they need. I do like, on occasion, to drop a raw egg in a steamy bowlful. And sometimes, when they're lying next to a nice pile of fried catfish, I'll toss in a few fried taters. OK, confess, once in a blue moon I'll dip up some cheese grits at a restaurant, but only if it's nice and thick. Thin grits = oxymoron.<BR/><BR/>GO TEAM!
