This week I had a hankering for polenta, so I added it to our menu (yeah, I typically write out a weekly menu for us, I’m a bit of a nerd).

Rather than just plain ol’ polenta (which is tasty, don’t get me wrong), I wanted to add something with a little sauce on it, which immediately made me think of a ragout.

Knowing that Alice is a big mushroom fan, I decided to go with a mushroom ragout and viola, our Wednesday night dinner: polenta with sausage and mushroom ragout.

Sadly, I used some wine in making the ragout, but it wasn’t the whole bottle. That meant Alice and I had to drink the rest of it.

Real shame that.
