<<I love grits. AND hominy. >>

I used to hunt in Southern Illinois on the Missouri boarder. If we ate breakfast in Missouri, grits came automatically. Cross the river and it was biscuits and gravy.

During cooler weather I often have a bowl of grits for breakfast. I also can whip up some great sausage gravy. I'll admit to canned biscuits.

I like everything on your list but I've never cooked with lard. Was brought up on Crisco but switched to butter, peanut oil and olive oil. The way I was taught to cook vegetables, we always started by frying a little bacon, then throwing in some chopped onions and browning them in the bacon fat, then we put in the vegetables. I don't use bacon anymore, I use olive oil, but the same recipe makes the most wonderful smothered cabbage or bok choy.

The only time I make hush puppies is when I am frying catfish, and I always put sauteed chopped onions in my hushpuppies, too, and some red pepper.

The Louisiana branch of my family originally hails from Point Coupee Parish (New Roads). We are going to visit my folks in Louisiana, which I always look forward to because I will finally get something really good to eat, like duck gumbo.
