And then I think we’d be somewhat ‘New World’.
I suppose the Italians put some eggs on their polenta, now and then - the whole universe of cuisine is sort of ‘mixed-up-and-turned-around’; and that’s kind of nice.
We can get together, over food, even when we can’t get together over much else :-)
On the weekend I tend to go through what I have in the pantry and try come up with new combinations.
I made Swedish meat balls but added a dash of very dry sherry and fresh thyme in the last five minutes of cooking.
Husband gave it two thumbs up so I guess it worked.
