#13 Mystery Quilt Train Ride

oooo jaba, grits are good stuff! I'm not Southern. I was born in the way up North, but love 'em. Never had them growing up, it was my late DH that first made me aware of grits and how to cook them. I love them when I throw in a handful of grated cheese as soon as they are cooked so the cheese gets all melted. Oh my, I do have a little grated cheese in the frig, do believe that is going to be my lunch!

When I went to Brazil, I was looking for a favorite dish my Grandmother called pasteis. It had ground beef, hard boiled egg, a cooked shrimp & an olive. In Brazil, I learned pasteis means pastry... duh! Many kinds, many fillings. My
Grandmother came to Brazil when she was 7, from Austria, and later came to Brooklyn, NY in 1927. Her baking was international, buttery, and wonderful. Imagine my sorrow, when I visited her from college. She had discovered cake mix...!
I will bake for the train, butter, no cake mix!

Will have to try those grits again, maybe I just had some that weren't cooked right. It has been awhile but do remember thinking they were awful. One more shot, I promise

If you like corn or corn bread you will like grits. I sometimes buy the box with individual envelopes and just neuk it with water and when its done add a chunk of butter and/or shredded cheese. You can also make it from scratch and pour it into a buttered loaf pan and refrigerate overnight. Next morning slice, roll in flour and fry for breakfast. (Fried Mush) Serve with syrup for a change from pancakes. But the little envelopes that come like instant oatmeal also come as plain grits or cheese grits. I love them with toast for a fast meal when I'm quilting! What you had before may have been just plain grits, in a restaurant. Those aren't good until you add butter! As a kid up north we ate them as hot cereal with milk and sugar. In the south they are more of a side dish.

Bedock sounds a little like runzas which is another polish or german thing. Its a meat pie made with ground beef, cabbage, onions and whatever seasonings you want baked in a bread dough. I keep changing my recipe each time I make mine and now add ground pork and shredded cheese inside. Also changed to pie dough and use these pie pans that have separate pie shaped slices so you can put a different filling in each wedge. Comes with a special wedge cutter so once baked its a sealed pie wedge to take with you. I make a big batch and freeze them to take one or two out at a time. I like throwing them into the oven for about 10 minutes if thawed instead of the microwave as they tend to get soggy otherwise. Nebraska has Runza Hut fast food joints but no where else have I found them, not even here in Iowa right over the border.
