Creamy polenta with roasted chicken-tomato stew. Lots of extra cheese and butter. Peasant food during my childhood but universally popular in the Central California Coast region that I hail from. I remember my Dad making gallons of this for service club fundraisers and suppers. Endless possible variations to suit any taste. Best wishes. Dave

Thank you. Right now I am interested in carbon steel fry pans, ranch-style omelettes, sourdough bread, truck gardening and charcuterie. Thank you for the warm welcome. I will be reading through the archives. Best wishes. Dave

Thank you. My wife and I reside in the bustling metropolis of Hanford. Both originally from the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Avila Beach, Shell Beach, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande). I am retired military (enlisted).

I live in the Central San Joaquin Valley, about 40 miles SE of Fresno. I am a home cook of novice-to-intermediate skill with an ongoing interest in ingredients and techniques. When I cook for myself there are never any complaints. Best wishes. Dave
