I asked for it; I got it! I'm still not too hip at deciphering 
e-mail addresses, but I guess credit belongs to 
"nshore!usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu!ace.com!jazz (Jazz)," 
who sent the following:
 
 
"....The recipe is in the Jan/Feb 1979 issue of Cuisine.  I started 
back from my last issue, sometime in 83 I think.  It was an interesting 
journey.
Cuisine has a had some name changes over the years.  It was originally
called SPHERE, put out by Betty Crocker( I believe the magazine title
said The Betty Crocker Sphere magazine, or something).  Then 
they started calling it juse Sphere.  By the end of 1978, they started
calling it Sphere's CUISINE magazine.  Then, with this issue, at 
the start of 79, just CUISINE.
 
"Well, enough history.  Here is the recipe....
