Slumber Party Sub

A crusty baguette, garlic salt, dried basil, and swiss cheese, ham, salami, bologna and sliced green pepper. Oh, and the whole thing gets buttered, of course. Now, I would have added a little oil and vinegar or maybe even a condiment or two, but I guess Alice thinks the basil/garlic butter combo was sufficient. Compared to yesterday's bean concoction, a real treat. Julia thought it was just like Folgarellis. And, in a stunning twist, I am actually making Drysdale's Stuffed Peppers for dinner tonight - they really hit a home run with us the first time and we looking forward to them again.



Episode Note: "The Slumber Party Caper"  Marcia is dying to have a slumber party with 15 of her closest friends. After some heated negotiations behind closed doors, Mike gives Carol the green light. The girls are ecstatic, the boys morose, until they devise a little plan of their own. Meanwhile, Marcia gets into some trouble at school. Her teacher, Mrs. Denton, finds an unflattering caricature of herself in Marcia's desk implying that she has features similar to a hippopotamus. The principal (played by E.G. Marshall, who turns out not to be Marcia's pal), gets involved, refuses to believe that she didn't do it, and sentences Marcia to a week of detention. Marcia is determined to punish the real culprit and in turn assumes it is her best friend Jenny. She disinvites Jenny from the sleepover without giving her a chance to defend herself. The night of the party, the boys have their fun with itching powder in the sleeping bags, prompting Marcia's friend Paula to comment how much she likes a good joke, like the one she pulled on Mrs. Denton. Marcia, mortified by her leap before looking, calls Jenny to apologize and asks her to come join the fun. All is forgiven, and for the rest of the evening there is no drama in pajamas.
