Grilled Foccacia & Burrata Cheese

Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate.

I don’t have a lot of work to do for dinner since it is basically a 1 pot low country boil accompanied by a pan of cornbread so I felt that I could experiment a little with a new recipe for cornbread, substituting half of the corn meal with polenta and used a food processor as instructed.  The corn bread was a big hit, but not  a southern traditional recipe.  Is there such a thing as scone bread?  Follow the link below for the written recipe on Food 52…
