In a Dutch oven, bring the milk, water, butter, salt and pepper to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon for 15-20 minutes or until polenta is thickened and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese and cream cheese; chill until serving.

In a large skillet, cook polenta in oil in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with dip.
