Italian Harvest Dinner

Here is my dinner menu from last night:
Italian sausage and chicken thighs baked on a bed of red grapes and rosemary (sounds weird, but trust me, it works)
Baked polenta with fontina and Parmesan cheese
Marinated antipasto salad (mushrooms, artichoke hearts, roasted bell pepper, cherry-size fresh mozzarella balls, olives)
Panzanella (tuscan bread salad)

OK, so the only "leftover" in the meal was the bread in the panzanella. It's a good recipe to add to your repertoire for those times when you have stale leftover bread. To me, a good bread salad epitomizes everything that's great about imaginative cooking--it's alchemy really. Lead into gold....
