It's store-bought polenta, and I haven't decided whether to fry it or not. That seems like disrespecting the cast iron seasoning fairies, something I try to avoid. I still need to go buy some carrots and celery, though.

The spell checker wants to substitute "tadpole" for "polenta!"

Thawed out a couple black bean burgers I made last month and air fried them. Had them on multigrain Kaiser rolls with sliced red onion, thinly sliced tomato, guacamole and salsa. Also had steamed corn on the cob and coleslaw. Cheers!🥂
