Have you ever been to a fine restaurant where they serve the butter in a porcelain ramekin, and it's been pushed down and smoothed across the top--the kind of butter perfection one feels guilty disturbing with a knife? (In the photo at left, the butter isn't quite as smooth as what I'm envisioning.)
Well, some friends of ours used to frequent a relative's house for Sunday dinner, and the butter dish always looked just like that. They were really impressed that the hostess went to that kind of trouble ... until the day they caught the family dog with its paws up on the counter, licking the butter.
True story. Eat your heart out, Martha.
