It takes the entire grit-eating world twenty minutes to cook their grits...
LOL! That’s what came to my mind as well when they said they only had time for instant grits. And the photo you posted with the tape measure I had thought of just a couple of days ago. A rare sunny day here in Seattle and the sun was glaring in the kitchen window that was so faucet splattered and rain splattered that I couldn’t see out! (Its okay now though - its raining again!).
What?...... no pepper?
At this m0ment I am yelling into the kitchen....... we need grits this morning!
