If it's too dry, add more water/stock. If it's too wet, let it simmer with the lid off.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Plei and Jilli, can we go make-up shopping when we are up there?
Hell. Yes.

Hell. Yes.
YAY
Juliana, I think you are somehow underestimating how big a dork I can be.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

No, I think YOU are underestimating ME (muhahahaha!). Jilli at the MCR concert has nothing on me and this concert. Nothing. Plus, there's no chance he can see me, so I won't get shy!

Thanks, Vortex. It seemed too dry to me, so I did add more water. TCG is eyeing it warily.

it's a simple thing, polenta. People have made it all elaborate with the grilling and the milk and whatnot. I used to get all stressy about it until I started thinking of it as italian grits. Easy peasy.
Oh, and if you're letting it get to dry because you're trying to get a creamy texture, add some shredded cheese.

Hmmm. This could be interesting.

Thanks again, Vortex. I think I try a different recipe next time, because even after adding an additional cup and a half of water it still wasn't the texture I wanted. I have eaten plenty of polenta, so I know what I am looking for, but I have never made it, so I am not sure how to get there yet. It was still passable, and the sausage and peppers on top of it were very yummy.

What is even happening?
I don't even think I've ever eaten polenta. I always think of it as mushy rice. What grain is it?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cindy, it's corn.
