Ah grits or farina. Grits tastes like corn no matter what you put in it. Farina doesn't really taste of anything which makes it easier to flavor. BOTH leave barnacles inside the bowl and on the utensil that need to be furiously scrubbed off.

I just had a dream that I was taking a shower when I noticed that the TV was on the fritz. The problem wasn't the TV it was the VCR, somebody had changed the TV channel while the VCR was on. Waking up, I realized, that is F-ing annoying!
