My partner, who is finishing up grad school in the Netherlands, has found (and ordered) grits.

In case you're wondering how my night is going, I just spent about 20 minutes searching Target's website for the deodorant I normally use, without success, and just now went to check and discovered I was searching for the wrong brand.
