ha ha ha ha, I LOVE this story, and ze recipe sounds wonderful!
Les resultats....Not really on the can-make-again list. There was nothing special.
In fact, I would wonder if this really qualifies as a gratin. It was fine, but it is so difficult to peel and thinly slice squashes, (must say that our discussion of mandolins yesterday got my fears going as I used the big guy) I think I'd prefer to use any of the other variety of main ingredients to cook this way. I experiment with sweet potato, leek, cauliflower and so on, but with lots of onion or leek, a variety of different herbs and have been very happy with the results.
If I were to make this again, I would cube the squash as it was difficult to cook such a quantity, cut this way, in that volume of liquid. I had to cover the pan and it still didn't cook enough in the suggested time.
I took a look on Epi, and here's one almost exactly the same, but with the squash cut into cubes.

Thanks for the feedback, Marg. I might end up with my standby recipe after all.
The Butternut Squash Gratin with Rosemary Breadcrumbs from BA. I've made that one a couple of different times and guests like it. It hasn't been super special for me, though. I think this year I'll sub the chicken broth with cream to "Thanksgiving-it-up" a little. That richness might be just what the recipe ordered.
