This reminds me of the polenta that my Aunt Victoria used to make when Uncle Henry and Aunt Naila arrived from San Francisco on Friday nights to spend the weekend at the ranch. She layered the polenta with melted butter, cream and cheese (I don't remember what kind) and it was so rich that I could never eat it.

Mmm polenta is hands down one of my favorite things in the whole world. When it was a bit more obscure, I used to order any main course at a restaurant if it came with polenta!

We're sold on Ayers Creek Farm polenta that comes in a charming zip-lock bag with a sticker on the front!

And love that local Wapato Valley flavah!
