Click image for recipe

A classic side dish in northern and central Italy; not unlike mashed potatoes in America.  Made from coarsely ground cornmeal slowly boiled in water or broth until it thickens into a creamy porridge. Historically a peasant food (originally made from grains like farro or chestnut before corn arrived from the Americas in the 16th century). It can be served soft and creamy—often enriched with butter, cheese like fontina, or topped with ragù, mushrooms, or sausages thereby making it a main course.

Standards Michigan Central | MHealthy Recipes*

Ribollita origin traces back to the Middle Ages in rural Tuscany, Italy, as an example of cucina povera (poor people’s cooking). Peasants and servants repurposed leftovers to avoid waste: after feudal lords ate meals served on large slices of bread (used as trenchers), the soaked, stale bread was collected and combined with vegetables, beans (especially cannellini), and greens like lacinato kale or cabbage. The mixture was boiled, often reboiled the next day with more bread added for thickness, improving flavor and heartiness. This thrifty habit of reheating and extending the dish gave it its name.

We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms.  We got half the problem solved last month when we upgraded to WordPress 6.8.1 but updating was slow on mobile devices.  Our normal course of business will not be interrupted as far as our daily colloquia is concerned but we cannot predict the outcome on the images which are an essential part of our work.

  • Posts are not updating across all platforms — particularly on X on iPhones.  Usually a caching problem and not one we haven’t seen before.
  • Some images will not center.
  • Footer and right-side widgets not loading properly.

The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade.  The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be to edit our widgets to reflect our new business address; still proximate to the University of Michigan South Athletic Campus — across the street from our former office with an Olive Garden very nearby.

Always surprises but none that we cannot handle.  Much like  hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.

This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”
