Let me start by saying I don't bake very often. I like to cook, but generally I can't be fussed with baking. It's too specific, and too many things can go wrong. This was a recipe I had been meaning to try for a while, and this seemed like a perfect time to try it out. Living in Scotland, I've had Millionaire Shortbread a few times. It's a layer of shortbread on the bottom, then a thick later of caramel, and on top is a thin layer of hard chocolate. It really is wonderful.

A very exciting find as I've never seen smoked garlic before. I purchased it and was quite excited to bring it home to try.

The bulk of the work is in preparing the squash for roasting. I remember one lasagne I made with some friends, when we grilled all the vegetables, including onion, on a small George Forman grill. Then we made the sauce, grated the cheese, and compiled it all into one fabulous lasagne. It was a great way to spend the day with friends, but not necessarily always feasible. I also wanted a change from the typical tomato sauce based lasagne. So I decided on a butternut squash lasagne.

I would love to be able to sip a wine, and comment on the soft My plan is to start paying attention to the wines I'm drinking, and work my way through there. There have been many wines I've had which I enjoyed, but I forget which they were. I know I like Riesling. I know white wine is served cold, red is served at room temperature. A friend of mine just gave me the book 'Understanding Wine - A guide to wine tasting and wine appreciation' by Michael Schuster. So I'll use this, along with the internet and my own opinions and go from there.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped, but I knew there was potential. This recipe appeals much more to my taste, and is also more visually appealing. These polenta sqaures work nicely as an appetizer, or along side a salad for a light dinner.
