GRITS PIE
This is grits pie, one of the delicious
dishes prepared by Classic City Chefs
for a
Sunday Brunch in the Field
held on the grounds of
Tim & Alice Mills in Hull, Ga.
makers of Red Mule Grits.
We also had arugula salad with
walnuts & raspberry dressing,
Polenta, w/red bean sauce,
roast pig w/grits dumplin’s
baked grits w/poached egg
in a fabulous sauce on top.
Lemon/chocolate cake slices
along with the grits pie
which tastes like egg custard.
Suzanne meets Luke the Red Mule
Two girls who live on an organic farm
that supplies our local restaurants,
which is what this event is about.
We step back in time
and watch corn being ground
into grits and corn meal.
Lots of music and crafts, too.
Grannie weaver, Lois, and her
spinner gran’baby, Trinity.
Homegrown products,
like Tom with his onions
and sweet potatoes.
His jolly wife, Margaret,
makes aprons and bonnets.
She puts one around my neck saying,
“I want you to have this!”
I've hung it in the kitchen.
I bought a bag of cornmeal for me
and a bag of grits for Suzanne.
Luke’s picture is on the front.
and Miss Alice's recipe for cornbread.
Proceeds went to benefit
Athens’ Project Safe,
a shelter for battered women.
I live in a great community!
Allelulia!
