    Well, my portion of the Collective doesn't know more than the bare fact 
that such things happen............ ;-) As I mentioned, I prefer to buy my 
polenta cornmeal from the health food store, since it *isn't* so processed 
and is therefore tastier and, presumably, more nutritious. Mind you I don't 
have any of the problems with "regular" grits and such that you said Dallas 
does, I just prefer to save my "empty calorie quotient" for stuff with lots 
of sugar and butter............. (G)

            Diana, who is just going to *have* to make cornbread tonight, 
after all this discussion! So much for the feast leftovers we *should* be 
polishing off...... ;-)
