Snow day cooking

We got about 3 inches of snow here in Hampton Roads on Thursday, and since the 7 cities all share one snow plow, schools were closed. This was a good day for me to catch up on my lesson plans, so I did, and also spent a little time crocheting. My belly dancing class was cancelled so I figured I had no excuse not to cook dinner. So I tried out the Polenta with Fontinella-Mushroom sauce. I love mushrooms so I was excited! Cooking this meal was interesting. Fontina cheese is expensive! I realized when I started cooking that I had bought the wrong cheese, Fontina instead of Fontinella. I googled them and I'm still not sure if they are the same cheese or not. Different websites say different things. But, I had Fontina so thats what I cooked it with. I also couldn't find my measuring cup so I had to wing the measurements a little. It came out pretty tasty, I ate the meal with some chicken and then I had leftovers for two days, which I ate happily. The cheese had a good flavor and any sauce with mushrooms is a good sauce. The polenta was just ok, but drenched in sauce it was good. I had polenta recently when Jack and I went to McCormick and Schmick's for dinner before he left for his underway, and the polenta in my dish was delicious! So the polenta that I bought was less good. Apparently in northern Italy polenta is preferred over pasta. If it's made well, I can see why.
