After being subjected to daily doses of grits for 14 weeks in GA, I've come to enjoy it. Now picture my new-founded southern drawl mixed with my heavy northern MN accent, and the look on everyone's faces when I talk, "Yaw, y'all come too, eh?". That was 15 years ago, and now all it takes is a short conversation from someone down south to make me talk like that again. There I go rambling on again. Time to eat.

Actually, y’all, there are two kinds of “Iced Tea”. There is "Sweet Tea", sugar sweetened w/ Lemon, which is cloyingly sweet & "Sun Tea", honey sweetened, which is a touch of sweet that just masks the tartness of the Tea. My kin in N.M., TX., LA., exposed me to both types during Spring Round-up while growing up.

Not in these parts son. Here the best ice tea is cold brewed (just pull the tags off the bags and throw them in a pitcher of water in the refrigerator overnight) and sweetened with sugar water made by disolving a good amount of sugar in a small amount of water in a pan on the stove, stiring continuously until the sugar just disolves. Do NOT cook! Place in a sealed jar and cool to room temp before adding to the tea. Add a small wedge of lemon and lots of ice to a tall glass and fill with tea. Personally I like a sprig of bruised spearmint in my tea but it ain't Southern that way.
GRITS!?!? I'd rather eat a bowl of warm sand, tastes the same.
My wife was born and raised in NC and can't stomach grits either.

That's why I named the states where my Kin were, where those versions were popular & every area has there own way of doing things, @ least for the two I was raised w/. 
And as for as I now, your break down of making it is how they made their "Sweat Tea" as I never paid attention, I just consumed the stuff & the women-folk rarely let us men-folk in the kitchen anyway.
As for Grits, there a far to many ways to fix them that I've lost count, for someone not to be able to find one to their liking.
I've tried just about all the variations & found them to stick to my ribs the way I wish them to.

I'll definatley miss San Diego. Sovereign53, you'll have to send me Avocados when they go on sale. I hear they're really expensive where I'm moving. I will especially miss late night runs to the Taco Shops on my way home.

I like the Iced Tea you buy in the can. 
Just add water and your good to go. The actual "iced tea" doesn't taste anywhere as good to me anyways. In the summer I could go through two litres a day.

Even the chain grocery stores around here stock more avacados and chiles than apples and there are more taco trucks than banks.

Only fresh Maine lobster can top a mess of steamed blue crabs! Every time we go to DC we take the back way to avoid the I95 traffic and to stop at Capt Bob's seafood shack right on the Potomac at the VA MD line. They have all you can eat blue crabs, we plan on arriving hungry and being there a couple hours at least while I devour as many as I can. Oysters are another regional delicacy I savor.
Man, I'm getting hungry!
