Being from up north every time I hear about grits, I cant help but crack up, it brings me back to the movie my cousin Vinny and the grits.So I set out to proof that grits could be made successfully by a Northerner. And it kicks A$$ in a New york minute. He gives food to every living creature because his mercy endures forever. Psalms 136:v25
