Speak for Yourself Breadsticks

Homemade breadsticks.A perfect day for making dough, zero humidity. Mixed flour, yeast, salt, oil and hot water together, kneaded and rolled out the sticks, let rise for 25 minutes. Brushed with salt and a beaten egg white and baked. The only problem was the recipe said it yielded 40 breadsticks, which is a lot for the three of us but there was no real way to reduce it. There was nothing to worry about, however, as Alice's instructions for rolling them out were highly flawed and we ended up with about a dozen. That darn Alice.




Episode Note: "Cyrano de Brady"  It' love at first sight for Peter when he sets eyes on Jan's new friend Kerry Hathaway. But Peter has two problems, Kerry doesn't know who he is, and she thinks Greg is super groovy. Thus, Peter is suffering from Greg,Greg,Greg. Peter makes a fool of himself at school trying to talk to Kerry, finding himself clumsy and tongue tied. When writing a letter to Kerry fails (he forgot to sign it), Peter convinces smooth operator Greg to hide in the bushes a la Cyrano and feed him romantic lines. But it seems Peter is also inept at repeating as well and soon Kerry discovers their ploy, leading her to assume that Greg is the one in love with her. This, of course, crushes poor Peter. Greg is equally disturbed, as Kerry won't leave him alone. Prompting Greg and Marcia concoct a crazy scheme to show Kerry what a two-timing rat Greg really is so she will be turned off once and for all. Greg invites Kerry over and Marcia barges in wearing a huge dark wig and sunglasses (part of the Jan Brady Collection) and poses as Debbie, the jilted "other" woman. When Kerry sees the harsh treatment Greg gives "Debbie", she is appropriately disgusted. Just then, Peter innocently happens upon the scene, calls Marcia and Greg out, finds his voice and delivers a speech to Kerry that makes her swoon. No one needs to put words in Peter's mouth as what to do next, he takes his cue and walks Kerry home. Roses are red, violets are blue, Peter finally learns how to woo.
