Shelter-in-place grits for breakfast this morning, a mixture of the sacred and the profane. Brought 1&7/8 cups of water to a boil in a lidded sauce pan, added a pinch of salt and stirred in 1/2 cup of grits, brought this back to bubbling, then reduced the heat to low. Continued cooking with the lid on, stirring ~every 60 seconds, while assembling bowls, utensils, salt, pepper, and Tobasco sauce, grating orange medium cheddar cheese (home uniform grits; White cheddar is for away uni grits), and chopping up cooked bacon strips. At the point the grits began to thicken, stirred in ~1/8 cup of evaporated milk. Continued cooking with the lid off, stirring frequently, checking for readiness to add cheese. At the appropriate moment, stirred in the shredded cheddar until thoroughly blended. Served in bowls, topped with chopped bacon bits. Yeah, it's not to recipe for perfect grits, but, using what I had on hand, it made for a satisfying breakfast.
