Comfort Food

What do I want after a long day at work surrounded by people who irritates me simply by existing? Oh the answer is clear. Good old fashion, make you smile and give a sigh of contentment, grits. I'm sure it's not everyday you find a lil asian girl eating grits let alone making grits and calling it comfort food. Oh but it is so comforting. Today I made grits with sharp cheddar cheese, black forrest ham and corn. I have to admit that it's nothing fancy and bacon would've made this dish even yummier. But alas, this lil asian girl was not blessed with the genes where she can eat anything and not have it all go to her butt and thighs.

Oh yes, back to the grits. I used 2% milk instead of water to make it even creamier. Brought it to a boil and added in some ham for flavor. Feel free to substitute the ham with bacon. Added the grits as the bag instructed. Once it's all nice and cooked, I added in a tab of butter because I just couldn't help myself. Some cheddar cheese, canned corn and a dash of sea salt and yayyyy, I've got me some cheesy, creamy, comforting grits. Now all I really need is a nice cold beer and for all the annoying stupid people to disappear from the face of the earth. *Sigh* if only.
