Good morning Marlene! Hum....I can smell the bacon and coffee....yum! Now, uncover your ears, Girl, and get thee to a kitchen store. You NEED, read again, NEED a pizza stone. Get a peel while you're at it. You'll love these additions and will be making pizza regularly from now on. Homemade pizza is just too darn good and actually fast to order in...but a pizza stone makes a big difference. The crust is so much better baked on one. I've had mine 12 years, without cracking. It has survived many many moves.... As for grits, what's not to like?? I tasted them for the first time many many years ago in New Orleans. While others were bringing back clothing and other goodies, I had grits in my suitcase, along with filé powder etc.... Grits, well prepared, are good! If you don't want to serve them with grillades, serve them with thick natural bacon...I suspect that Ryan would love them. Enjoy!
