This recipe came from a little book about sea creatures I bought at the Marine Science Center in Newport,OR. It's title is Edible? Incredible! It is simple to make and so rich & creamy that everyone who tastes it wants the recipe. At one point I lost the book & finally found a new copy in a used book store on the coast.
