In southern, savory oats = grits

Several folks I know have been talking up the savory oats - adding vegetables, cheese, etc. Now, I'm not a big oats fan. I never ate them as a child. Steel cut oats are okay, and I can stomach regular oats from time to time, but they'll never be a favorite meal or anything.

But this thing of savory oats is kinda funny to me because southerners have been adding things like cheese, shrimp, tomaotes, red eye gravy - you name it, to grits for breakfast forever.

Things are okay - kind of a busy and stressful week. I'm hanging in there.
