Ohhh, Michael - you do have a knack for making recipes that invite one to the plate. Count me in. I love the earthy, heartiness of the mushroom combination and seated over that creamy and savory polenta is pure decadent brilliance. Gosh, you're making me SO hungry. I am saving this to my short list to try. It's the bomb! High 5 (you deserve many more forks) - and I tagged you for beauty and uniqueness as well. Bravo - love your pics! Thanks so much... :)
