Hi Billy: Glad to hear that you are doing well, and I'm proud of you for trying to overcome your need for the tube.
Buzz has eaten a LOT of grits, soft scrambled eggs, Cream of Wheat, over-cooked rice...and I add LOTS of real butter to these, as he needs the calories and, of course, they just taste better!
From one southerner to another, I'm surprised you haven't already been eatin' grits!
