This was the conclusion of a goodbye dinner for Adrian, on the left, who just completed his freshman year at KU. Our grandsons Grant, in the middle, and Logan, on the right were special guests.
Adrian is the son of our dear friends in Munich, Ulie and Pia. Adrian came to Kansas to begin studies in chemistry, but by the time he enrolled the chemistry classes were filled. In order to carry enough credit hours, he enrolled instead in an acting class, and his fate was sealed. Now he's returning to Munich to audition for admission to a German acting school. Isn't it odd that life-changing events sometimes hinge on such seemingly minor events as chemistry classes being filled?
We ended the meal with the first strawberry shortcake of the season, and the first one Dennis has ever liked. I used a recipe from the 1956 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book, my trusted culinary resource and tutor since it was published.
Strawberry season is an orgy of strawberries on cereal, strawberries on ice cream, strawberry smoothies, and strawberry shortcake. Jam will follow.

Dang, that shortcake with the mound of strawberries is making my mouth water ~ 600 miles away! The power of photos and great words!
