Mark-- and all-- you reminded me of my mother's special Depression-era 
dessert:   White rice and 'hardsauce'.   Hardsauce was just a 
combination of light-brown sugar and butter, mixed together, heated 
slightly and poured over the rice.   What a taste!     This before we 
knew sugar and butter were not our friends.  

I am proud to admit that I am a Vermonter-- and that I regularly eat 
grits.  Plain, with just some salt.  MMMMMM!   (Not quite in the same 
league as rice and hardsauce though.)     O.K., so my first wife grew up 
in North Carolina.       ..............Carl in VT
