Glad you found some grits other than the 'instant' sort. When I cook
grits, I just use about 2-Tbs at a time for a single serving. I never
measure the water because I seem to use twice as much as given in the
directions. But then, I cook the grits for a long time so the water
absorbs & evaporates. And thanks.
