Oats are used to feed livestock and make a wonderful breakfast when properly cooked. Grits are kind of like oats in the way they need to be slow cooked to get the traditional goodness out of them. As vegetative matter they are not bad for you until you add things like butter. Also, both are excellent with bacon too. and pigs like to eat oats and corn (the source of grits). bacon is an excellent addition to a bowl of grits. with a little white sugar and sharp cheddar to top it off. This would be a semi traditional breakfast in the south east. It is a breakfast that no goat will appreciate. There palate it … well … they are goats.

As to commerice in a capitalist economy, the mark up on breakfast is enormous. As is the markup on livestock. They are labor intensive though. Current labor markets and the cost of mandated benefits have made goats, and grits, bacon, oats cost more to put on the table than seems reasonable. Why one would put a goat on their table is beside me. Maybe a mother-in-law did the cooking and someone felt the need to ensure at least one member of the dinner party ate something (even if it is the plate).

The chef straightened from the breakfast-laden stove, holding a ladle of melted lard, and declared, “It was the baste of times, it was the wurst of times…”

Ducking to avoid the frying pan hurled by the neatly dressed matriarch, said chef mutter “frankly, I don’t give a ham”… Much to the chef’s dismay the afore mentioned matriarch came prepared with several pans. Her “wide spread” technique resulted in … That’s a different story for a different time.

Mr Piggy,

I have completed my chapter. It is 12,364 words. The red squiggles are part of the art so I didn’t think I should fix them. I also used as little punctuation as possible as well as not capitalization. This will allow the reader to interpret the piece as they see fit. I did have a few issues explaining the talking monkey’s sexual attraction to dolphins who drive 1948 Chevy big bolt engine equipped vehicles, but I think my approach of making dolphins inter-dimensional travelers works. I will admit there it is a bit close to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy but I think it will pass muster since I change things (coffee cup instead of towel, happy android, etc). I’m not sure how the next chapter will go… the super nova of the earth’s sun may make it difficult for the next person to have plot continuity.

I’ll send it to you shortly.

I think we are back to the question: are we all just pigments of Vic-k’s imagination?

Not necessarily, numpt. It could be a goatment, or a sheepment, or a cowment, or even a pussycatment.  
If it was figment, it could in fact be a prunement, or an avocadoment, or a plumment, or a grapement, or even a passionfruitment  
Hey up!! 'ang on! If piggy reads this post, he could see in it the kernel … or is it colonel, wottevva, of the seed for Niad 8 … ripe for germination. Or is it German nation, anyway, it’ll defy genreisation , won’t it?

Lunch was a quickly thrown together gnocchi pomodoro. Dinner will be mashed potatoes with sliced ham, broccoli and piccalilli.
