In an effort to make ourselves feel better for missing Nina's birthday, we decided to gorge ourselves on polenta and home-made cheese in an open 'lasagne' situation. Taking some fantastic cues from the wonderful lady at 'fatfree vegan' we made a totally not vegan option, that I am soon going to make into a not even vegetarian situation.
Basically it comes down to
a) Making polenta, and I added some bay leaves and dried herbs to the water. I forgot that I find making polenta mindnumbingly boring, but the result is so awesome that I'm going to suck it up and do it again.
b) Making cheese. The best thing I ever learned how to do, and I can't believe I just learned. It's SO. FREAKIN. EASY
c) Making some vegetables, adding the cheese to it.
d) Making some tomato sauce. We used a can of chunky tomato sauce and then added some onions and other deliciousness.

If there was more time available I would have correctly baked it, but I didn't care and it was so incredible as it was. We just make a pile. I now love polenta more than life itself, although it doesn't make up for not being able to eat bread.
NEXT TIME...or sometime sooner than later, I read a recipe in a magazine for baked sweet potato wedges with ginger, honey and cumin. Um, yum?
OK, back to work!
p.s. I have an unhealthy addiction to pineapples at the mo.
