Recipe - Mamaliga

1 cup Cold water
2/3 cup Yellow corn meal
3 cup Boiling water
Salt to taste

Mix cup cold water with cornmeal, let sit a few minutes while boiling the
rest of the water. Add to boiling water, stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer at
least a half hour. I cover pot with a lid that is ajar to release the steam
since the cornmeal "spits" when it's cooking.

When I was a kid, we covered this stuff with pats of butter which melted
and slid around and probably took years off our life expectancy. Now I eat
this with a pat of margarine and potstyle cottage cheese. My husband
insists on sugar, but I prefer salt.
