My mother is southerner. She raised me in the midwest eating grits, and I hated them with a fiery passion that eclipsed the heat of the sun.

Three decades later and I'd eat grits every day if my wife wouldn't divorce me over it. Like pollacks know how to cook...

That's a joke, ya'll. Don't report me.
