I keep saying that it's time to get one again, but I haven't done it -- maybe during Christmas I'll get one that will take me into next year.<br /><br />I also love driving over the state line and visiting Mingus Mill. The leaves there in fall are always gorgeous.

Now, unlike polenta, nothing is added to it, no butter or cheese. <br /><br />And unlike polenta, it is only cooked for a brief 5-10 minutes, not the much longer time polenta is cooked. Not sure what that is about really, since I have never actually made polenta..I have eaten it but never cooked it. <br />Why does it cook so long?caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-62531864623022780132010-11-06T12:21:17.791-04:002010-11-06T12:21:17.791-04:00Yummy... this is polenta to me too!
