On Father's Day, Lindsey, Caroline, and I made this recipe for my husband,
Steve. We choose this recipe because Strawberry Shortcake is his favorite dessert and this is a twist on his favorite.

The recipe was found with my mother's cookbooks.  It says on the top of the recipe "in answer to your request for recipes demonstrated on TV."  It appears that my mother sent for the recipe after seeing it on TV.  Perhaps, it was a recipe of Mr. Food's, one of her favorite television chef at the time.  The notation at the bottom of the recipe indicates that the recipe was broadcast on TV on October 14, 1977.
