Dr. Cameron's Vinaigrette

Julia and I went to Grand Rapids and have just gotten home so I am taking the easy way out tonight - another salad dressing. A traditional vinaigrette, although Alice just said "wine vinegar" in the list of ingredients. I took this to mean red wine vinegar and emulsified it with the olive oil, and added salt and pepper. I had to wash and spin the romaine, so that's like cooking, right?

Episode Note: "Is There a Doctor in the House"  All six of the Brady children are sent home from school with the measles (giving the mumps a much needed break). Unbeknown to the other, Mike and Carol each call the pediatrician - Carol calls the girl's doctor, Dr. Porter, a woman (played by Marion Ross) and Mike calls the boy's doctor, Dr. Cameron, a man. The most extraordinary thing is that they both make house calls. When Dr. Porter tries to examine the boys and Dr. Cameron tries to examine the girls, the kids freak out. The boys don't trust a "lady" doctor and the girls are wary of a man (Jan, always the drama queen, says she'd 'rather drown' than have a man doctor). Once the confusion is resolved, Mike and Carol agree to let each set of kids keep their respective doctor, but in a twist, Drs. Porter and Cameron decide to merge their practices. Clearly, there is a lot Mike and Carol didn't discuss when they decided that this group must somehow form a family.
