corn muffins

I ate: grilled tilapia, cheesy grits, stewed okra

he ate the beige dinner:
chicken fried steak with gravy, cheesy grits, butter beans

We are especially fond of the cheesy grits, as you can see - we both order it for one of our sides so that we don't have to share.
You CAN cook the grits at home -- I found the recipe in Blue Plate Specials & Blue Ribbon Chefs, by Jane and Michael Stern. There is also an official Threadgill's Cookbook [looks like both are out of print].
Here is a scan of the recipe:
