Stuff...
Back in the day... Before things got stoopid...
I’ll have you know I got 2 of them! I managed to not get caught...
And it was my turn to cook, since it was ‘chilly’ yesterday, I did a southern favorite.
Shrimp and grits with collard greens and garlic bread. And I forgot to get hold my cousin in time to get actual tasso ham here...grrrr...
But everyone enjoyed it!




one good conduct, then was demoted from E-5 to O-1 18 months later.
Collard greens, never my favorite, have been on the verboten list since I was started on a blood thinner, even if not Coumadin, for my heart problems.
Grits with real butter are ok, but like farina, lack much flavor unless sweet spiced.
4 Good Conduct's here. Was I twice as Good as you were, or twice as lucky? But thank God for that old "Work hard, play hard" ethos back in the 60s and 70s, huh?
Grits are good as a side or as a stand alone. To think otherwise is Un-American. My favorite is grits 'n real butter & eggs, side of sausage.
