we went to the Haygood mill sat., saw some interesting things and the mill on the creek was grinding corn into meal and grits and if you like them you will never want store bough again.

hadn't had any stone ground grits in a long time.

they have it set up with a pioneer style home showing how to make furniture, do blacksmith and making clothes, weaving, soap, fireplace cooking of local stuff picked in the nearby woods, dutch oven cooking, etc.

I never could understand how anyone could like corn, corn meal and not like grits.

that's like saying you like rib eye steaks, and roast but not hamburger.

check it out;

    I'm weird, I guess. I LOVE cornmeal mush.......but hate grits. Grits are just too......something. It is the texture I can't get past. They aren't ground fine enough or something. I dunno.

    I grew up on cornmeal mush and cream of wheat.

    If you got called away from the breakfast table for even just a few minutes, when you returned, you found a bowl of "glop" that had set up into a solid slab of........[:0][:(!]

    rambo rebel,

    Actually, I think the nation's adults and children would be far better off in their perception of history if there were more of these venues available to visit. It provides the antithesis of today's technology which is not necessarily an all-around good thing. Too many children as well as the adults, live their life looking down into a 3" screen for everything they think and do.

    There is a similar mill located in the western suburb of Oakbrook, IL. which is just outside Chicago. Yes, it's safe.

    I've toured it several times and often went there just to walk and relax. The kids from the local schools love it.

    Grits are a blank canvas because you can eat them as served or the cook can doctor them up to taste like nearly anything they can dream up, sweet or savory. We always had them for breakfast but they are equally at home on the dinner or supper table. Great stuff!

    Best.
