I have never baked polenta, but we always fry it on Christmas Eve when we traditionally serve it with a hearty Italian stew. This recipe sounds absolutely tremendous! I love your story of your priceless time in Europe on less than $5 a day. My sister is just like you -- I walking encyclopedia on English royal history. But I was one of those who had to watch a portion of English history through the "Tudors"! Your posts are superb, Claudia!Roz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-55875908778764714562012-02-23T04:47:37.144-06:002012-02-23T04:47:37.144-06:00What a scrumptious combination!
