A Breakfast at Home

Lately, we’ve really been into grits.  I don’t think I’d ever had them before Steve.  He says it’s a southern thing.  His father used to make it for him when he was a kid.  He’d always put butter, s & p on it.  So I usually give Steve a large pat o’ butter and plenty [...]

Barnstormer Barbeque
