There is actually no way you can say 'Gratin' in english without sounding wrong.

Today Claire and I made squash and turnip gratin. Its an awful lot like scalloped potatoes, but with an actual vegetable. I made it last week, but the recipe needed tweaking before unveiling. I dare you to find a way to say gratin without sounding either pretentious or like a hick. Try it, you can't do it.

I also made rose hip tea. I added 4 rose hips to boiling water and let it steep covered for half an hour. The tea was really week and not particularly delicious. Also the rose hips were very expensive. I might do this regularly if I had a less expensive source. Boourns.

2 - cloves of garlic
1 - small turnip cut thin
1 - small squash cut thin
2 - onions chopped sort of fine. But I don't like to fuss
2? cups cream. This really depends on how large the squash and turnip are
1/4 tsp or less nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup of cheese or more. I like cheese I added more

Rub a 9X13 baking pan with the garlic. Layer 1/3 of the turnip, 1/3 of the squash and 1/3 of the onion. Salt and pepper to taste.
Repeat with the remaining of the veggies in thirds. 
Boil the cream and nutmeg
Pour over veggies
Top with cheese
Bake 50 mins or less.

EAT!
