The Garlic thread got me to thinking...because I do love Garlic.
I recall a TV episode from long ago, where Julia Childs used a crazy amount of Garlic in her Mashed Potatoes.
30 cloves according to this link.

I also love Squash...Roasted Squash.
my favorite is Delicata...here is a link to some info, if you never heard of it.

Delicata has a sweet nutty flavor that I figured would do well with roasted Garlic.
Last night, I roasted a couple Delicata's and also roasted a whole bulb of home grown Garlic (not just one clove...all the cloves, left intact with paper).
I slice the squash in half (remove seeds) and roast it, I'll put a half Tblsp of butter in each half as they roast.
I put the garlic bulb (whole) wrapped in foil with a half Tblsp of butter and roast it.
After everything is roasted and allowed to rest for about 20 minutes, then scoop out all the squash meat and then squeeze the Garlic out of it's wrapper and put it all in a bowl and mash with a fork, add butter if it seems dry.
I don't add salt, because there is salt in the butter, but some friends said it needed more salt.
I thought this turned out awesome, the Garlic brings the squash's flavor to a "hole nuther level". I will be doing this again.
