Red face Polenta - AKA corn meal mush

YUM...polenta is one of my favorite foods - guess it comes from being from the South and our 'inbred' obsession with corn in all its forms.

Have you already made the polenta and are looking for uses for leftovers or want uses BEFORE you make it?

Also, if you're a cheese fan - add MASSIVE quantities of sharp cheddar for a new twist...AND it requires REAL butter...oops, do I sound like Paula?

(The AKA corn meal mush is from an incident in my family probably 40 years ago. My aunt had returned from her new home in California and was making 'polenta' - My grandmother, dignified church lady that she was, took one look at the pot and announced 'Call it what you want - that's damned old corn meal mush - and I ain't eating it...'

Seems that she'd had to subsist on it during the Depression years and wasn't going back there again...(smile))
