Today Evelyn had a project at school where she had to give a presentation on 2 states. She had to do Hawaii and North Carolina. Lucky for us we have several families in our ward (church) that are from Hawaii, so we borrowed a Uliuli (a shaker they use when they dance) and she talked all about dancing and Leis. North Carolina was a breeze, for obvious reasons. She really wanted to bring in a treat so we decided to tell all about grits and how they are eaten in the south. We brought a big pot of grits in and let the whole class taste them. Not one kid in her class had ever had them, Evelyn felt so happy with her report. Evelyn's teacher was so excited and just loved them. She thought they were going to be more like rice, so she just kept saying she was so surprised by how they tasted. Several of the kids loved them and asked for seconds, a couple of them could not get them off their desk fast enough.lol. I was so proud of Evelyn and even though we live in the west my kids will always LOVE grits!!! And we will always be southerners at heart!!!!
Do you think she is happy?
almost gone, yum!!!

The first time I met Adam's family (in the South) I had grits for breakfast. They were good! I love the South! I'm so glad grits were such a hit, how could they not be?!?!
I'm so glad that you brought some south to those Utahins. It's nice to know that they got some small glance of what civilized people eat :)
Amen, we'll all be southerners at heart FOREVER!!! I love that your kids will eat grits :)! Mine won't get near them with a 10 ft pole HA! I have to eat them by myself, but hey, that's ok because I can have as much as I want that way :)! Awesome report Evelyn- I LOVE the first photo- that's a keeper :)
