I always have cereals (oat porridge, multigrain flakes, Red River Cereal, etc) as a savoury dish. With bay leaves and aromatic spices, and of course onion!

We always make the whole grain hot porridge and grits as a savory dish, though not oatmeal. The grits we enjoy with crushed fresh garlic clove placed under the butter we melt in the microwave. The whole grain cereal we eat as a sort of savory salad as we chop up mushrooms, radish, onion and add garlic or roasted garlic and pepper, perhaps some cheese or fresh paneer, celery, carrot, a little sprinkle of salt and pepper, bits of bacon or fried ham. Somehow the strong bite and taste of the whole grain cereal has always seemed too much for sweetening, although one of my daughters does enjoy it simply slathered in apple butter.

Gertie, that sums up why I feel so mentally challenged about never having made the leap to hot cereal as a savory dish. Of course I know about garlic cheese grits, and couscous, and tabbouleh, etc. However, it's probably because the first hot cereal I knew besides grits was oatmeal, to which I was introduced in the university dining hall, that I stayed in the hot cereal + milk + sugar mode.

Yesterday's eye-opener breakfast: raisin bran gingerbread and warm apple compote. Later, Huevos Divorciados, chilaquiles, frijolitos and agua de melón, at a local restaurant with the men's breakfast group.

My early breakfast: huevos revueltos con chorizo y arroz, wrapped in flour tortillas, and splashed with some Salsa Chipotle. One extra good peanut butter cookie.

My modest motel in the Avignon suburbs has an unlimited buffet for 5€ -- croissants, baguettes, cereal, scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt and the usual array of hot beverages and cold juices, not forgetting milk of course.

Hmmmm. I was going to obnoxiously point out that grits don't have much nutritional value. This was based on a vague idea I had that hominy was degerminated before being ground into grits. I still don't know if that is true or not, but it turns out that grits -- like any nixtamalized corn -- does pack some valuable nutritional punch: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/breakfast-cereals/1628/2

"Obnoxiously"? How so?
I think that stone ground, speckled grits still have the germ, but I doubt that they are nixtamalized, at least, not those from Nora Mill. http://noramill.com

You know -- obnoxiously in a know-it-all manner, particularly since I did not know it all.
Why do you think the grits from Nora Mill wouldn't be nixtamalized? I looked at the site and the product is called grits. Grits by definition is hominy, and hominy is nixtamalized corn.

Because some grits are just coarsely ground corn, and non-nixtamalized. They don't smell nixty, nor do they taste at all nixty. The corn grits I used to but at Wild Oats was just-----corn. No lye.
I shall write Nora and ask. (They aren't too good for answering emails.)
Imagine what would be involved in nixting huge amounts of corn, then drying it sufficiently to mill it. And do the tourists really care, huh? It's STONE GROUND. That's what draws them.

Moving ahead, now. Breakfast today was fettucine with homemade tomato sauce, mozz cheese and that powdered smelly stuff in the shiny green tube.
I'd just made 3 lbs of fennel sausage for the frezer and 18 modest meatballs, which had been simmering in said sauce. I couldn't resist my antojo of pasta with sauce and cheese, so I had them. But no meatballs, which we are saving for guests.

That would be good for breakfast ...... or a midnight snack ........ or whenever!
Would a person wish to share his fennel sausage recipe? I just went looking, and there is only one thread about sausage recipes, containing one (1) link to a recipe. http://anyportinastorm.proboards.com/ind....ead=4338&page=1 It quivers there, nakedly awaiting a recipe for fennel sausage, perhaps with an answer to my as-yet-unvoiced query about whether anise seeds could be substituted for the fennel.

Earl: similar to Post # 90, except with slivers of Parmesan type cheese and 1 meatball in tomato sauce, lashings of salsa picante.
Hours later: a small bowl of just made Frijoles Charros, slice of Tillamook Cheddar. The beans are really good!They will be even better in a day or two.
