Polenta/Cornmeal mush (Mamaliga)

This is yet another one of my favorite comfort foods.  It's super easy, very filling and simply delicious.  You can serve it plain as a side dish with fried chicken or fish,with garlic sauce, or sarmale (stuffed cabbage/grape leaves-recipe to come soon).  Or eat it by itself with lots of goodies for toppings.  Enjoy!
 Ingredients:
-4 cups water, divided
-1 cup cornmeal
-salt, to taste
-butter
-sour cream
-real bacon bits
-feta cheese
Directions:
Prepare the mush by bringing 3 cups of water to a boil.  Add salt to the water.  Meanwhile, in a small container, mix remaining cup of water with cornmeal.  Pour mixture into boiling water and reduce the heat.  Stir until thickened.  Cover and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Pour mush onto plate and top with butter, sour cream, bacon bits and feta.  Mix well and enjoy!
