It was yummy. But cold... I better learn to take a quick picture while I'm eating, as the food is "posing", it's also getting cold. No quotation marks needed this time.

I decided to get adventurous and cook something I had never cooked before: POLENTA. It was delicious. I had cooked polenta pizza and soft polenta before, but baked, plain, just like this, was simply too good. The recipe I used was taken from this website I discovered today: http://www.eatingcleveland.com/2008/11/17/easy-polenta-recipe/. They have lots of good recipes. This recipe I followed called for parmesan cheese but I gave it a twist by using pepper jack and cheddar cheeses. I love Cabot cheeses (I started buying it because they use non-animal rennet), and they have several spicy ones. I also made REVUELTO DE CHAMPIÑONES, it sounds kind of funny in English: scrambled eggs with mushrooms. Not breakfast food in Spain, though. Good enough for dinner. And garlicky. Yummy. And to finish up I took advantage of the oven being on and I made BROCCOLI BITES (nugget-looking pieces filled with cheese and broccoli, by the brand Veggie Patch).
My adventure continues tonight: I'm making yogurt for my first time. Second try but, hopefully, it will be the first time it thickens. Wish me luck!
