This time around in Oxford Mississippi for the 4 day conference, I had the time for a quick stop at a grocery store. It's the best place to pick up local items/foods.
Initially I was a bit dismayed at the grits offerings at Kroger. Besides the Quaker brand 'instant', these were the only others. Being a self respecting type
I only picked up one pack. Should have picked up more! This is quick (not instant!) - but that 'cooks in 5 mins", nope - takes 15 and is very good! (see next)
If the 🍤 were tossed with flour before browning that helps a bit, but a bit of roux or just wonders added to the chicken stock as it helps the 🫑cook down and thicken is great. Some splashes of hot sauce and maybe a touch of 🍋 juice to spark. Serve atop the grits. (Oh forgot to note earlier - added a bunch of shaved Parmesan, not the more typical cheddar, to the grits). Scallion greens on top.

There is a strange underwater creature called the pistol (or snapping) #shrimp, which uses shock waves to kill enemies or prey at a distance with no need for direct contact.
Nick Hawker often likens what the #PistolShrimp does to #inertial confinement #fusion. The shrimp’s shock-collapsed bubble does not reach anything near fusion conditions, but the burst of light testifies to an enormous concentration of energy.
While all these items are technically allowed in carry-on bags, splish splashing your shrimp mash in an airplane lavatory could be dangerous (and also 🤢).
Official word from the @FAA - “Dry batteries are only permitted to be carried by passengers on aircraft when protected against damage and short circuit. A person who knowingly or recklessly violates hazardous materials regulations could face fines of up to $96K for each violation and up to 5 years in jail.”
