Nearly all of the breakfast & lunch places around here offer "breakfast

Would that mine had the lock-down lid. I do all that you do including a
"spider bungee" and carry the pot in the foot well od the passenger seat.
Then I drive very gingerly to my destination. With (hopefully) no abrupt
moves caused by drivers buried in their cell phones.

I think my dislike for grits stems from my dislike for its parent -
hominy. Hominy has a little flavour of its own and a texture/mouthfeel
that puts me right off of it. Grits is about as appetising as the gravy
they used to serve with school lunches in the 1950s. Almost as tasty
as library paste. Bv)=
Corn, from with they make hominy, now that`s a different story.

Title: Can Opener Corn Chowder
Categories: Five, Vegetables, Chilies, Dairy
Yield: 3 Servings
16 oz Bag corn niblets
21 1/2 oz (2 cans) cream of potato
- soup; undiluted
4 oz Can chopped green chilies
1 Soup can milk
Fresh ground pepper
Open the soup and dump into your crockpot. Add the corn
and milk and stir. Add the chilies and stir again.
Set the cooker on low and let it do its thing for about
four hours. Just before serving grind pepper (to taste)
into the soup and give it another stir to combine.
Ladle into bowls and dig in. Refrigerate leftovers (if
any) and nuke back to life for supper the next day.
