Belated Valentine's Day!

Hello again, from your favorite nerd!
Happy Belated Valentine's Day and do hope that it was wonderful to you.

Mine was pretty great. I got flowers and some great chocolates from my grandmother, wonderful cards from the people I love, and I got to watch Shooter. Such a great movie! I had never seen it before, but I must say that it is truly under-rated.

Anyway! I wanted to gloat about my last adventure before I tell you about my next one. I tried grits. Yes, grits. To some of you that may not be much a feat, but to the rest.. I know you understand where I am coming from.

My mother went to school in West Virginia and so of course she's been a fan of grits since then. She has always told me that I would love it, but I refused to even look at it. You can't blame me. The appearance alone isn't exactly the most enticing. I have been slowly building myself to try new things, especially of this type, such as trying oatmeal... get used to it... then liking it.

My opportunity came when I saw Cheese Grits at the top of the brunch menu at this little place in the city called The Kitchenette. Adorable, by the way, and you can't miss it because the light blue and white polka dots stick out like a sore thumb against the aged red brick behind it. Well, anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with two things... Star Wars and cheese. I figured that if I didn't like the grits then I would at least like the cheese that was on it. To my surprise, and possibly demise, I loved them! I couldn't resist. I ate until all the cheese was gone and then I put syrup in them and I loved em even more!

I was sad to see my long fueled feud end, but was happy that I got up enough courage to try it and now I can enjoy it. Especially on my trip to the south tomorrow for Presidents day weekend! I will tell you about all the fun places I went when I get back.
