Welcome to the first of my Culture Pages. It is easier to know about universals. For example, it is easier to know what trees are, than to know about an individual tree. Same thing with people, I know what people are, but knowing each person? Well, that's a tall task! There's so much to know, so many facets! It is exciting! Much like that, the culture of the South is just as interesting. There is so much to learn about and explore!

I absolutely love Southron cooking!! I also have been to Biltmore Estate, and to the Jack Daniel's Distillery. I took wonderful tours at both places. Whether you drink or not, the tour is fascinating. They also have, of course, a gift shop at both places. One thing that holds true is Southron Hospitality. We welcome everyone and give our best to them. I hope that you, too, can at least visit some of these cultural-historical sites!

The secret to good grits is sodium. Before the public water got cleaned up on the southern coastline, "beach grits" were just this side of heaven. We used to take plastic jugs down to the beach and bring back beach water for good grits back home. The remedy today is to put a pinch of baking soda in the cooking water. The best grits I've found are not the instant kind, but Aunt Jemima in the yellow box. Cook as long as you can. . . . . sent to me by Maria
