Polenta for dinner / Southern CA fires/

Tonight, I stirred polenta. Julia Child wrote some funny observations about how the traditional Italian grandmother cooks it. I put a large spoonful of yellow, creamy polenta in a bowl with fire roasted red bell peppers on either side, goat cheese cilantro and olives on top. A glass of red wine and we ate outdoors. The fires & heat have been keeping us indoors but the smoke has been blowing east now.
