Thank you Slade for the commentary and the recipes! It inspired me to plant some Swiss chard seeds I’ve had for years - often forget about that green as it’s seldom sold (fresh or otherwise) where we live. Grits and greens will be happening in Pittsburgh in a few weeks!
Grits! I grew up in a family that ate grits. We ate grits with eggs for breakfast. We caught fish from the river and fried them. We ate grits with cheese at times. We ate hushpuppies & greens, sometimes collard, other times mustard or turnips. We didn’t eat many green salads with lettuce & other raw vegetables because the greens were grown in our garden & served as our vegetable. My grandfather liked left-over grits from the refrigerator with milk. Then, I became an adult. I was told that grits is ‘bad’ for one’s health. As a result, I haven’t eaten grits in quite a long time. But, Slade, thanks to you I’m adding grits back to my diet along with collards.
The fact that you cite the research makes me so happy (as an Ed.D.) and sad for the state of higher education. To your point it is not perfect though I have seen so many young adults flourish with the perspectives that only a collegiate experience - community or traditional - can bring. Vote them out!
Of all the rot this administration has created, the attempts to destroy education, science and public health are the most disturbing to me.
Same. The damage will last for decades without our concerted resistance.

Woohoo! Love that you plant your own, too.

Everything in moderation, right? I love that you shared this and I hope you enjoy your next serving of grits!
Bought collards already chopped & cleaned & grits yesterday. Plan to follow your recipe

Thank you for that, Lisa. Agreed on all points!
