Dat's right, La Diva's Waffle House of Shrimp and Grits n Chicken and Waffles will take your order now! HA! I loved the idea of the crunchy grit waffle as soon as you posted it and the gears started turning. Sounds damn good and a nice interesting texture to grits. Also, there probably IS a bit of cheese in the waffles, I find I put tons of it into corn meal muffins and yet it still tends to be subtle.<br /><br />I'm sorry about Cindi, can the girl catch a break? Sheesh.

Your suggestions and input re: blog design are awesome. That is exactly what I want to do with mine. Get rid of all the damn clutter and focus on SANDWICHES! Love your new header by the way. It looks so cool and you're so clever. So... I'm weighing it all out and will see if this person who did yours is priced within my budget. thank you so much. You took time from your day to offer such great input, and I really appreciate it very much.

I just learned about grits two yea...waffle grits??? I just learned about grits two years ago and I can't say I'm a big fan. However, I think I could get my head around waffle grits. Especially the the ones you've descibed. I hope you do post a recipe.<br /><br />Really sorry to hear about your weather. Our March is one of the wettest on record and we've had mud slides/etc. It seems Mother Nature is really handing out some punches this year? When our basement flooded five years ago we got a big goose egg from our insurance company so Buzz is lucky.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280822962202098606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-28217179885329289132011-03-14T22:54:09.412-04:002011-03-14T22:54:09.412-04:00Alessandra, the shrimp & grits waffles aren...Alessandra, the shrimp & grits waffles aren't very Belgian, but they sure were good. I'm with you on exploring the food of more countries!<br /><br />Andy, yes, we seem to speak the same language - even if pork is not involved :)<br /><br />Moi, thanks for your kind thoughts for Cindie. Fortunately she is out of her orthopedic boot, although she wished she had some rubber boots when slogging through the six inches of cold water in her basement. The river has crested, although it will be slow to fall. But as of tonight, Cindie thinks we'll still be able to make our weekend trip. Fingers crossed . . .<br /><br />Buzzy, if I can manage to track down a recipe, I'll let you know. There didn't seem to be a lot of cheddar in the waffles (which would probably make a mess of the waffle iron), but the cayenne definitely lent some zing!<br /><br />Sorry to hear you've been contending with heavy rains too. And what a mess you must have had with your basement. Cindie works in insurance and I'm sure will have her costs taken care of. But insurance doesn't cover your own effort cleaning up the mess. Fortunately, friends have pitched in.Sharon Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598263732896925616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-58590382571594634102011-03-14T14:45:16.059-04:002011-03-14T14:45:16.059-04:00So they make a batter out of the grits and pour it...So they make a batter out of the grits and pour it in a waffle iron? I've never heard of that. I think I would like to try that some time. I did a quick recipe search and didn't come up with much, so this must be cutting edge - or not popular. Bwahahaha<br /><br />We got about 4" of rain last week. No real local damage but people near the Delaware River and some of it's branches had flooding, though not as bad as they expected. <br /><br />Several years ago during a huge rainstorm, my gutter pulled away from the house roof and flooded my newly renovated basement. It took 2 shop vacs and a dehumidifier to get all the water out. I had to cut the carpet into small sections (because of the weight of the water) and put it all out on the curb. The trashmen loved me. Fortunately, I had an insurance adjuster who was a descent guy (and, as it turns out, a Huricane Katrina survivor) and the insurance covered the damage. Tell Cindi I said good luck.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-11052997400705096592011-03-14T09:38:15.367-04:002011-03-14T09:38:15.367-04:00I make shrimp and grits all the time for dinner. I...I make shrimp and grits all the time for dinner. It's one of my favorite dishes. But to pair it with waffles? Is there no END to the utters joys of life?<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the weather. As often as I fantasize about moving to someplace next to water, the truth is, it scares me. I hope Cindie's not dealing with too much of a mess, especially booted.<br /><br />Something to cheer you up? Them lil' shrimp pack quite the nutritional punch: a top source of selenium, iron, omega-3s, and protein.
