Swiss chard

The first harvest from our summer crop is swiss chard which we made into a yummy baked cheese polenta dish tonight.

Aaron wanted me to share this conversation snip-it we had this evening:

Julie: I hear that "Polenta" translates to "corn meal mush."
Aaron: translates from what?!?
Julie: I dunno. Italian?
Aaron: There's a word in Italian for "corn meal mush?!?"

So now, even though he liked the dish, Aaron is pretty sure that from here on out he wont be ordering it based on the translation. Aaron's culinary journey: two steps forward, one step back.

After we talked I watched a show here called "The Cook and The Chef" and it just so happened that the cook was making this savory and delicious looking bread with polenta! http://www.abc.net.au/tv/cookandchef/txt/s2594155.htm
