It<br />s always fun to experiment and try new variations on an old favorite.<br /><br />I love your blog no matter what you want to write about ...it's all good to me!<br /><br />♥ PatPat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676089567771527687.post-76469811279210330872010-03-08T11:58:46.637-05:002010-03-08T11:58:46.637-05:00Wow you had a lovely welcome to your new town!

Pretty much.<br /><br />That recipe might even tempt me to try grits, which look rather like wallpaper paste when you see them served in Southern eateries.<br /><br />And with the right food and the right people, you can be happy almost anywhere!

I think the upper state NY is so beautiful and SC has such a fabulous charm! Now if I only could go to Italy and have something to say about that. It is on my travel list. But probably not for a couple of years. EVERYONE I know that travels to Italy falls in love with it.<br /><br />Your posts are just delightful to read! So interesting and personal. I always get excited when I see a new one. This recipe for shrimp and grits look fabulous. Just my kind of recipe, full of depth of flavor and some yummy ingredients.<br /><br />Blessings to you today!<br />YvonneYvonne @ StoneGablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071383858803336708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676089567771527687.post-74973378423730068042010-03-08T00:37:21.208-05:002010-03-08T00:37:21.208-05:00The shrimp and grits look absolutely delicious!

We are headed to Charleston SC (where I used to live for a short period of time in the late 80s) and my husband is debating which of the two hot spots he wants to hit for this meal -- one of his faves. I have a good recipe I found online, but can't wait to try yours. I'll be following as well! Nice to "meet" you both!!Maria M.

We probably never make it exactly the same way twice. Of course, it's always best with shrimp that my husband has just netted himself at our beach house! I'm so glad to know that we native Southerners have made you feel so at home here in the "promised land"! I know the Hudson Valley is gorgeous too, though.Tracy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03373078078896261229noreply@blogger.com
