MaryBeth, the recipe was in the Boston Globe. Here is a link to the story and recipes:

PaGirl, not really a recipe. Here is what I do. I use two sticks of unsalted softened butter, and grind it up in the food processor with the flavorings until just combined then scrape onto plastic wrap and roll into a log and freeze.
cilantro chile: handful cilantro, one red or green chile pepper (seeded or not), juice of one lime, salt and pepper to taste.
lemon basil: handful basil, juice of one lemon, one clove garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
For the pesto, olive, and blue cheese butters, I add about 1/3-1/2 cup of each to the butter then season with salt and pepper to taste. I sometimes add a little hot sauce to the blue cheese butter. Each butter log should net you around 20 servings.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
You are missing out! There is a lot of it here, we eat a lot of it, and it is really, really good. That dish was amazing though, the char grilled crispy tentacles... yum! The larger parts were like eating a lobster. I have actually caught and eaten them with a friend off of Elba - that was fun. I didn't know how to properly "kill" mine and by the time I got back to the boat it was twisted all over my arm...liamsaunt wrote:I won't eat octopus

That is hilarious. I can snugly fit up to four people in the kitchen with me but everyone has to stand in their assigned space and move when I tell them to.
It would not be practical from a resale perspective to install the kind of kitchen I would like to have in the house we are currently in. Next house!
