"So, Mama...how many guacs are in a bowl of guacamole??? Avacados Number! hahahahahahahaha...get it???? Oh, boy...I really DO crack myself up!!! If you have any problems, feel free to call 602-1023. I'll be here all night...hahahahahahaha..get it???"
We should proceed to the highlight of our evening..I use the term 'highlight' rather loosely...so please keep that in mind...it is us..and it is the west side...and, remember, it IS only a Tuesday night...has anything spectacular ever occurred on a Tuesday night??? Maybe in early November when they hold elections and such..but that doesn't count...it could, I suppose..anywhoo...how did I venture so far off this path of focus??? Yes! Cooking food and that sorta stuff...yeah..we do that from time to time..have you noticed?? Um.... Creamy Polenta with Chicken Sausage and Roasted Grapes...Grapes are Great...like cheese...tee-hee...
Chicken Stock, Butter, Grapes, Shallots, Corn Meal, Chicken Sausage, Thyme (things changed up a bit...I didn't use the white wine, but sherry vinegar instead..I also used parmesan cheese and forgot to place the cream in the photo...) Please don't judge..I forget everything! I just get lost in my mind...It's a disaster up there...those cobwebs...ick! I hate spiders!!
Sear your sliced sausage....sssssss...it's sassy...saucy...soothing...shake bootie, even..that time of the evening has come, has it not...it should be expected..should I have been more subtle...sorry, I suffer from surexcitation..I'm sure you do as well..especially after tuning into this blog...it's only logical and such...Then deglaze with some stock...I would never omit an important detail...nope...
Once you have deglazed, add grapes, minced shallots and a few sprigs of thyme...but only if you time for such things...tisk-tisk....yeah..it's been a long time...and I love that Cake song, BTW...it HAS been a long time...since I've seen your smiling face...since you've given me butterflies.....since I've seen a suh-uh-uh-uh-nnny day...
"Oh, Mama...shame, shame, shame....EVERYBODY knows your name!! Now get outta my face with that camera!"
Her patience has so totally worn thin...I blame holiday stress...totes...We should talk about polenta..who doesn't wanna talk about polenta??? I know I do...after all it is a boiled dish made from cornmeal...what could possibly be more enthralling than something of that nature??? Yup...that's exactly what I thought...you don't even have a retort to that question, do you??? At this point, just talk to the hand...hahahahahahaa...I'm kidding....I understand....yeah, I, too, get all worked up over polenta...shhhhh...it's a secret..
Cream, Chicken Stock and Thyme...(I'll be nice, I promise..)
Once the liquid comes to a boil...add your cornmeal...as the excitement builds....yes...and it IS exciting...but not nearly as exciting as the discovery of the fundamental unit of all organisms...biological cells...can we get a little finger clap for Robert Hooke???? Well, for Mr. Hooke and microscopes...they are fun and such...they are..for reals! Oh, and maybe a little finger clap for Will Ferrell...he's a freaking hoot and can so totally rock the cow-bell....!!!
Once the polenta has thickened..add parmesan cheese and a little butter..whisk..whisk away...now IS your time to take whisks and such...tee-hee....just don't take my whisk...I'm rather attached...we've been through so much...and if he were to disclose the details of my whisky behavior...hmmm..yeah...keep your hands off my whisk...and my girl....yay Good Charlotte! Actually I would prefer a little Motivation Proclamation instead...it's a way better song, IMHO...but how did we even end up at this point?? I'm still puzzled...we should just have a gin and tonica...hahahahahaa...
Our final meal....I had few photos this evening...yet I DID manage to drag this thing out...It's a gift..yup..hahahahahahaha..or a curse...I suppose it depends on how one views this situation....tee-hee....
Polenta with chicken sausage and roasted grapes...I really liked this...it was really great...I'm really liking these roasted grapes...they're grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!! The oven does something to a grape..I cannot explain, yet I can not complain...could anyone be more eloquent than that???? hahahahahhahaha...yeah, they totally could.. I just know it!
Well, my friends...at first I was afraid, I was petrified...but then I sucked it up and got over it...isn't that what we should always do??? The sun has gone down and the moon has come up...that means it is time to bid you adieu...farewell, even..I've won the battle..you've yet to fight..and being the victor...I bid you goodnight...and good luck taming THIS shrew...hahahahahaha...sorry...I couldn't help myself...but then again, I never could...g'night..see you all tomorrow..I can't wait!!
