Vices -- covered.
I make polenta rather than buy the tube. It's likely cheaper; and using water, broth, milk, cheese/no cheese, etc. one can customize the end product depending on its intended use. You can pour it into a greased pan and refrigerate for solid pieces (like the tube stuff). I usually serve it soft, topped with fried eggs, meatballs, mushroom ragout, etc. Not all at once, though.
With all the food discussion, I hope you had a pleasant Thankstaking, Day of Mourning, NFL Appreciation Day, or Thursday.
