I finally caved and bought some of that polenta-in-a-tube and fried
up some rounds. My son asked what I was making -- I called them
"corn cakes". He said he wanted some, and ate them right up. If
I'd called it polenta he would have told me it's icky.

I'm learning....slowly.

I bought the tubular polenta because the rest of the food I was making
was complicated enough, and I didn't want to think about the starch. I
nuked the rounds though, because I wanted them to absorb sauce. I did
fry the leftovers.
