I put some corn through my grain mill in hopes of making some fresh corn meal for corn bread tomorrow. Well I ended up with something more towards flour than coarse cornmeal. I decided to try and make corn tortillas only to find it was too much like cornmeal for it. So I had a bowl of corn mush in my Kitchenaid mixing bowl and no clue what to do. I tossed a little in the frying pan anyhow and then when I flipped it realized it was like polenta. I added spices, cheese and some olive oil to the mix and now I'm sitting here dipping my accidental polenta into ranch dressing like they're huge chips.
It's the first day of the year and my first cooking fail of the year. It's good though when what seems like a fail turns out okay in the end. There are some changes I will make but I think I found my homemade polenta base. :D
