About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

I was interested to try this well-liked recipe when I had an over abundance of tomatoes. It was good, but would have probably been better if I had cooked it for the longer amount of time. I must have used a very coarsely ground cornmeal as well and next time I will pay more attention to using a more finely ground one. Definately worth trying again.
