Re: Knife and fork usage
He liked the feedback. Guys LOVE this fence. And you don't even know the details of it, which he wanted me to share. I told him to go get his own friends. 
One nice thing he did was paint all the hardware copper colored for me.
I put up a couple more of the snaps.
eek, I hope not!
You can see my problem.. my window is the last one on the left there.. I must be able to figure out some way to monitor that door from here.

Re: Knife and fork usage
Since most people have gone off original topic now, can I too please?
I know about sweet potatoes but can't get them. I know about waffles but can't get them.
What the hell are grits?

Re: Knife and fork usage
In theory.
Very coarsely ground white corn, boiled into mush with butter. Just no actual taste, like lovely polenta.

Pretty limited to the southern US; you don't see them on a restaurant menu here in the opposite corner, for example. But I have had them in Florida & other parts Down There.

And I don't know WTF grits are. But they're good with lots of butter on them.

Re: Knife and fork usage
If I wanted to actually make waffles, wouldn't I need some sort of waffle shaped griddle/grill pan ?

Ironcially, grits are a lot like polenta.

A soggy, mashed potato type does exist but where I live it's usually left to harden into blocks which are then cut into slices and then grilled on a charcoal fire or BBQ or griddle.
Whicever way it is cooked it tastes like nothing to me.
