Lost Wallet Hamburgers

These burgers were interesting. Two thin patties with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese squished inbetween. Mark called them "surprise" burgers and said they used to have them when he was a kid. As an aside, I don't think his family watched "Good Times" afterward - possibly "All in the Family" but certainly not "Maude". Anyway, they were tasty, kind of like Mrs. Desi Arnaz Jr. Lasagna without the pasta, on a bun. Julia said the beef was like the wallet and the cheese was the money - I guess that's another way to look at it.




Episode Note: "The Treasure of Sierra Avenue" The boys are playing football in what appears to be a back alley when they discover a wallet stuffed with $1,100 - and no identification. They take it home, thinking they are rich. The girls want a share of the take, but the boys balk. Mike of course insists on finding the rightful owner and turns the wallet over to the police, bucking the "finders keepers" rule that all children live by. The boys agree to give the girls a cut if no one claims the wallet in within a week, because as their father tells them, boys need to learn early that women will cost them money. At the last minute, an elderly gentleman and his wife who are driving across the country with their life savings claim the cash. As a reward, Mr.Stoner (wonder how he got that name?) gives the boys $20, proving that they don't need no stinkin wallet.

  1. Seems like Alice is splitting and stuffing previously done food types a lot this week. Also, who else has fallen obviously short of Carol's example in costing men money???? I may not have 6 kids, but could probably do a better job. Now, feeding them hot dogs and burgers isn't too $$$, must have been the perma-hair....
