First day of school

Tuesday was the first day at school for all of us and I didn't feel like spending a ton of time making dinner. So after rummaging through the cupboards and listening to the suggestions of my wonderful wife, I was able to figure something out: Mini-Polenta Pizzas.

We had a log of the polenta that looks like breakfast sausage and I cut that into round slices. I then fried them (more on that later). and then topped them with some other stuff we had: leftover chicken sausage from Labor Day, zucchini, tomatoes from the garden, and some with goat cheese, others with cheddar. Finally I popped them under the broiler for a few minutes, and they were done.

Frying the polenta didn't really do what I was hoping for. I wanted the discs to become crispy, but the crispy stuff stayed in the pan and we ended up with oily polenta.
