OK, enough of this silliness ... it is still HOT in Florida and sometimes it is just nice to have a light veggie meal versus a heavy meat laden one. So I took my "squash" and sliced up several, quite thin with my mandolin ... long ways ... like lasagne noodles and layered them in a glass casserole dish along with marinara sauce, chopped basil, fresh mushrooms and sliced sweet vidalias. Between each layer I sprinkled various cheeses ... a sharp cheddar, mozzarela and them a grated parm. On the very top went some panko bread crumbs along with the cheese.
Popped into the 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. The last 10 minutes I slid a tray of my very awesome garlic bread in to toast up. I could tell right away that it would be scrumptious from the aroma's coming from the oven ... oh MY!
I paired this ""lasagne" with a Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc 2008 from Chile. This is a clean bright wine, straw in color has slightly greenish hues. Fresh, citrus with notes of peaches and hints of gooseberry it made the meal a hit!
What's not to love about wine and food that is at its very peak of freshness? Wine food pairing is sometimes about the creation of simple, fresh meals. CHEERS!

I went back to see my oldest post, because I did not remember when I started, and saw you made a comment on my Potato Leek Soup.
This picture is hysterical, only because most people eat squash like this to add a different veggie to their diets (my observation/opinion); some love it, some hate it, but most tolerate it. I love it, and could think of a great way to stuff that one!
I just counted your blogs, oh my goodness girl you stay busier than I do! Okay I have a few hours, lets see if I can read them all!

I recommend you read an article in this week's The Economist. Research has shown (at last!) why you naturally do not pair red wine with fish ... Very interesting!
