With his cracked voice, skinny frame, and unkempt hair, Hall went on to play nerds and dweebs in such films as Sixteen Candles (1984) and The Breakfast Club (1985), working so well under the direction of John Hughes that there were those who assumed that Hughes was treating the young actor as an alter ego, reliving his own misfit high school years.
Grits are made from hominy - but with more processing. After the whole kernels have been soaked in an alkaline (not acid) lye or lime solution and cooked until soft and the hulls and germ removed with copious rinsing, the resultant hominy is dried and then coarsely ground to make grits..
Grits have their origin in Native American corn preparation. Traditionally, the hominy for grits was ground on a stone mill. The ground hominy is then passed through screens, the finer sifted material used as grit meal, and the coarser as grits.Many American communities used a gristmill until the mid-twentieth century, farmers bringing their corn to be ground, and the miller keeping a portion as his fee.he ground hominy is then passed through screens, the finer sifted material used as grit meal, and the coarser as grits.
