Recently I was cooking with my mother. She decided to make polenta and misread the amount of water needed. She added 2 quarts of water to the cornmeal and wondered why it didn't get thick. After adding a sufficient amount of cornmeal to equal the water, we ended up with a ton of polenta. We ate it in casseroles, for breakfast, as a side, you name it and we probably tried it. We'd rather not have polenta again for a long time. Too much of a good thing....Susan
