packing my bags right now...with an extra bag to bring back some Virginia Ham and other stuff!
It is funny I work in Bellingham, WA and I see folx coming down from Canada to order biscuits from the grocery department BY THE CASE! (They don't sell biscuits up there). I introduced Mr. 1228 and his family to grits and he and the child LOVE them.
Gotta school them Canadians on good Southern food! 
One time Mr. 1228 even made some shrimp grits (he watches too much damn Food Network)

Jill, you're just going to have to come home to good ol Virginia and let me whip up a big breakfast with slow-cooked grits! We'll throw in some good Surry ham, homemade biscuits and gravy, and maybe some cinnamon apples, too (my grandma makes the best). Man, I'm getting hungry just thinkin about it. Mr. Bunny is from upstate NY and is going through culture shock with the amount of butter we use in our food down here. He does like grits, though so I can't say he's all that bad. He got used to eating them on the ship, but I always tell him that those instant things are a disgrace to southern cooking and he needs to eat the real thing as often as possible. I'll fatten him up yet! Maybe we'll have breakfast for dinner tonight....
