Zaccariah T. Brown's Golden Chicken Sandwich

This is sort of a bizarre egg salad/chicken salad concoction, but using only the hard boiled egg yolks (you know, the "healthy" part). And butter, but no mayo and lemon juice, mashed into a paste - seriously, Alice said to mash it all into a smooth paste and serve it on white bread. This recipe is on the same page as the tuna sandwich, which may be why I skipped over it earlier. You'd have to be living as a recluse in a ghost town to enjoy this for lunch, or breakfast or dinner for that matter. I will say that the egg yolk chunks did look a little like golden nuggets among the chicken, so maybe that's what Alice was going for.



Episode Note: "Ghost Town, USA" The Brady's trip to the Grand Canyon also played out in three parts, this is the first. Now, we know that Jim Bakkus (of Gilligan's Island and Mr. Magoo fame) played two roles in the series, one as Mr. Matthews, Mike's boss, and the other as crazy-as-a-loon prospector Zaccariah T. Brown. It is Brown that the Brady's meet up with here when they stumble into a ghost town on their way to the Grand Canyon. They decide to stay the night in what they believe to be a deserted mining town, only to discover that there is an old kook who thinks they are here to steal his  gold find (sounds familiar, but this episode came before Hawaii so it was original then). Brown locks the Brady's up in an old jail cell and takes off in their station wagon. Mike ingeniously uses all of the family's belts and socks to make a chain to reach the key and they escape, only to be stranded in the middle of nowhere. Mike and Peter decide to start walking to find help, but Greg has to stay behind and be the "man". After a few tense hours they return with Brown and their car, the misunderstanding resolved, no hard feelings, and the Brady's are on their way to one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Head 'em up, move 'em out, Rawhide.
