Marcia's Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Malts

What could be better on a summer day? Vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup and dash of malt blended to perfection. Julia and I skipped dessert at Paige's birthday dinner last night just so we could enjoy these today. But no worries, since we know ice cream isn't eating. There are a lot of desserts in the book, and we will be seeing more of them in the days to come.

Episode Note: "Marcia Gets Creamed" Peter is desperate for a part-time job in order to afford a new stereo tape deck (I am assuming 8-track), but it is Marcia who lands a gig at Haskell's Ice Cream Shop. Marcia is the model employee, even breaking dates with her boyfriend Jeff (Michael Gray, better known for his work in Shazam!) in order to work. Marcia convinces Mr. Haskell to take time off, even though he tells her that if you slow down in the ice cream business, you melt. Marcia suggests hiring Peter and Mr. Haskell makes Marcia afternoon manager. Newly found power and Peter's lack of a work ethic don't mix and soon Marcia is forced to fire him. As a replacement, she brings Jan in, who proves to be the model model-employee. Impressed, Mr. Haskell decides to let Marcia go and keep Jan on in the shop. This suits Marcia just fine, as she returns to the arms of her dreamy beau, before he gets too jealous of her job and makes like a banana and splits.
