Re: (...)
Is anyone else??? I have no idea what I'm doing, but this is fun. I have all the ingredients out and have started to "play." So far I have cooked the polenta with diced red peppers and fresh basil, oregano, and parmesan cheese.
Now, I'm letting it cool and that's as far as I have gotten. Might as well break out the wine now since it's an ingredient anyway. Maybe it will help me figure out the rest.
I hope everyone is thinking about trying this one. Reviews and possible pics on Monday!

Did mine a few days ago. Yup, drinking the wine helped.
See you Monday!!

I've already done mine, too! I agree on having a glass to help with the mojo! I'm ready for my review, even though I may not be able to access my picture. ARGGG! I need to go check on that.

I'm serving at 5:00! We eat early during football season.
I have my ideas and can't wait to get started.
Mine won't have a pic. My Christmas pictures are dark, fuzzy and dull so I think it's time for a new camera. The pictures look like they needed a flash but the flash went off.

This was so much fun. I did something I haven't done in oh, maybe, 25 years - I made my Irish Dad's spaghetti sauce! (Well - I didn't add the cheddar cheese, and I did add wine) It made a HUGE potload and I think I only used about a fourth of it!
Hee Heee. And it was a yummy dinner!

This was a lot of fun. I finished my dish yesterday, but just brought it out to photograph this morning, and I had to make a sauce yet. Hubby said it was too early to eat it, but after smelling it for a few minutes while I was taking pics, decided it would be fine for breakfast.
Believe me, that's a first! Anyway, I was completely floored that he liked it. Now, I'm hoping to be able to post pics tomorrow. I've got them uploaded to photobucket, but for some reason I have problems taking it from there.
