Okey Doke....I can also mail you a cup of their grits: very coarsely ground.
The owner's brother has a restaurant here in Asheville called Early Girl (like the tomato). They both source their grits from the same place and I buy it from them. (Old Mill of Guildford in Oak Ridge, NC)
When I make them, I use that Italian method of cooking over hot water. It takes 2 hours but they are perfect to my taste. And they freeze well, so one batch goes into me and the other goes into the freezer for when fresh okra and tomatoes are ripe.
Oh, to your question: I've only made the shrimp and grits from the book because I ALWAYS ordered the shrimp & grits when we stopped there for breakfast. Plus I have other recipes that I like for many of their recipes (cornbread, biscuits, pudding, etc).
By the way, I made that recipe for my neighbors who lived forever on St. John's Island (off the coast of Charleston). It passed mustard with them so I was pretty pleased.
Please let me know if you'll be passing through my area with your craft travels. I'd love to see you and hubby again.
