Fourth of July was spent at the coast in Manzanita, Ore. There is nothing more American than strawberry shortcake, so that is what I made. The strawberries were from Ian's parent's yard and they were delicious. The recipe came from The Modern Baker and was very simple. I cut up the strawberries and let them sit in sugar for a few hours until ready to serve. The shortcake recipe was a cinch, and can be put together quickly with a food processor. All in all it was a fantastic Fourth of July.
