Woodland Park Potatoes

Hash browns with Alice's signature ingredient: heavy cream. Really, that's all they are. She even says to start with pre-packaged shredded ptatoes - doesn't even want me to do it myself, which is fine. This was another one that I skipped in the breakfast section so tonight we are also having bacon and eggs. Poor Mark and his next cholesterol test. As an aside, I am about half way through the recipes. There are 117 episodes, a few have more than one recipe, but for all intent and purpose we are at the half way point. I say this with a lump in my throat, which may just be the heavy cream coagulating.

Episode Note: "Doubled Parked" The kids are outraged to find that their neighborhood park is about to be bulldozed and a new court house to be built on the sight. Carol, in the true embodiment of the early 70s organizes the kids and her women's group into action and the Brady house becomes ground zero for the fight. They begin to make picket signs and protest at city hall. Alice even answers the Brady's phone 'Woodland Park, it's for the birds'. The kids canvass the neighborhood to get signatures for a petition to save the park where they have another encounter with Jackie Coogan (aka Uncle Fester and Mr. Duggan). He won't sign for Cindy and Bobby, but Alice turns on her charm and get's his John Hancock. Unfortunately for the Brady's, Mike's firm has the city contract to build the new court house and his boss, Mr Phillips, gives Mike an ultimatum - Carol and the kids must give up the fight or he'll lose his job. Mike encourages the family to keep up the dream alive and has an brainstorm of how to solve the problem. Then, in a funky, Martin Scorcese type film montage, he sits at his drafting table and sketches out the solution - move the court house to the site of the old city dump (better drainage) and leave the park as is. Proving you can fight city hall, Mr. Phillips loves it,  presents the idea to the city, and Woodland Park is saved. Flower Power to the People.
