Polenta
- 4 cups chicken broth

directions
- In a large skillet, over medium high heat, brown chicken well on all sides in oil, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the polenta by heating the water to boiling and stirring in the cornmeal or grits; continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is browned.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; butter a baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken.
- Stir corn, peppers, and cheese into the polenta mixture (it will still be quite runny); season with a pinch of salt and/or pepper if desired.
- Pour polenta into baking dish, arrange chicken legs on top of the polenta and cover with rosemary, then sprinkle tomatoes around the outside edges; cover tightly with Reynolds Wrap aluminun foil.
- Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 50 minutes; sprinkle chicken with fresh lemon juice and serve.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
