Roasted Delicata Squash and Wild Mushrooms with Sherry Maple Gastrique

Crunch, salt, sweet, rich, fall flavors are intertwined in this amazing side dish while taking advantage of the wild mushroom season here in the Pacific Northwest. I  love Fall... everything about it...scarves, boots, leaves changing, crisp cool days- and mostly the oven roasting away. Roasted squash is by far one of my favorites, the sweet tender flesh (is this inappropriate verbiage?) leads itself to countless recipes- mix with hearty wild mushrooms, bold blue cheese, sweet sherry & maple and toasted almonds; heaven is here.
