If you're not regularly eating Polenta I would highly recommend it. It's super cheap to make yourself and it's not at all a big deal. You just need to stir it constantly. If you do it right, it's such a cream dream. This was topped with mushrooms, peppers, onions, basil, oregano and garlic in a thick tomato sauce. Parmesan and olive oil topper.
I forgot why I felt the need for such large portions but it made sense at the time. The best excuse is probably because it was the end of February. These are the true dark days of winter. All the holidays have passed and we're left with harsh cold and nothing light. The festive candy has left the building. For months everyone seems to bring in some homemade sweet or confection at work starting with Halloween. From about then until mid February you can't escape free treats. They sort of get you through the gloom. And then it stops and you find yourself a little addicted to that potent tiny nibble every day. But thank goodness there is a letup because even though I don't even like sugar much anymore and try not to eat it, a girl can only be so strong. And chocolate is just magic.
