No, I think YOU are underestimating ME (muhahahaha!).
Hmmm. This could be interesting.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

So it really is grits, then.

Ehhh. No.
You can make it in soft cakes, so imagine something more like cornbread, except with a different texture, and usually with savory cheeses in it.
Or you can make it more like a savory corn meal gruel - but not like grits.
Its not hominy for one thing.

Nutty has been told that it is. And tonight, I am deferring to everything Nutty says.

Thrive to spite them
Polenta is made from cornmeal and girts are from ground hominy but they are cooked similar, although you have to stir polenta more.

For those of us who prefer the far superior corn grits to hominy grits, they are in fact quite alike.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Please! Corn we all live in hominy?
