Shrimp, grits, and gravy are a beautiful thing. This version which makes use of red pepper sauce to make grave and leftover smoky ramen broth to flavor the cheesy grits is next level grits making. Don't believe me, try it for yourself. Just make sure to never ever anger your spouse with a hot pot of grits nearby. Otherwise you might find yoursefl with something in common with the late great Al Green. These grits were meant to be eaten.

Crispy roasted okra is one of my new favorite veggies. Its a no-fuss, delicious side that is ready in less than 30 minutes. Down here in Texas we're lucky to still be able to get fresh okra locally.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." I recently discovered the musician Mimi. She is an incredibly inspiring and brave artist. Check out her song "Afraid" as an example of her talent and testimony.
