Day 66 - Polenta!

Polenta - pg. 94

If you don't recall my earlier brush with polenta (10/28/09), you aren't missing much. Basically, I thought it would be faster to use store-bought polenta-in-a-roll when I was pressed for time to make a polenta torta, but I had to go to a couple stores and a store manager to find the darn stuff. Took longer than if I'd just made it myself. Tonight I took a crack at making it myself. Piece of cake!

I made a double batch. Part went underneath left-over sausage and left-over roasted veggies. Part is spread out on a jelly-roll pan to be used in another crack at polenta torta sometime later this week. Polenta is even easier than risotto which is also easy. Whom knew.

This morning I attended a long and VERY productive meeting of the North County Humane Society/AFAR Board of Directors. What a great group! I'm so proud to be one of them.

And, we had sun! Beautiful golden heat-giving sun. Clear blue skies. Gorgeous.
