#ThursdayDoors #writingprompt
So I went out to lunch in Jeffersonville because I needed some doors and you know MomGoth will make any sacrifice for her Sweet Little Baby Angels, even eat at a highly recommended restaurant.
Be patient: There will be doors.
I had never seen a menu that included a flight of soups, but this restaurant had one.
Now, you may not know this about me, and I’m damned sure you don’t care, but I’m a grits fiend. I got introduced to grits at the lodge where Charlie and I honeymooned, and I’ve never looked back.
So I got a flight of soups and an order of peach and bacon grits.
I had to take a picture of these brutal industrial lights.
And now, the doors:
Restaurant review of Orange Clover Kitchen: Five stars for taste, zero stars for the food being lukewarm to barely above cool. But I took the grits to go (SO GOOD!!!!!), and they gave me my portion, plus the half-portion left in the pot, so ten stars for free food.

June 24, 2024 at 9:38amI actually just watched My Cousin Vinny for the first time. I loved it so much! I like my grits with garlic and cheese, or with butter and salt and pepper. I’ll eat them sweet, and now I’ll eat them with peaches and bacon.

June 21, 2024 at 7:33pmI know I’m being lazy and should look them up but…what on earth are grits???

June 22, 2024 at 1:58pmGrits are coarsely ground corn — bigger grains than cornmeal. You boil them until they soak up most or all the liquid, then, depending on how much liquid you’ve left, they’re like porridge or like polenta. I like them on the polenta side, with garlic and cheese. They’re also good with sugar instead of the savory flavors.
