Banquet Night Hostess London Broil

Flank steak, brushed with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and broiled 5 minutes per side. I don't know if this is actually how they do it in London, but it's how Alice does it and  as of now it's how I do it too. I have high hopes for this, the last time Alice had me prepare flank steak (of the Frog Prince variety) it was quite tasty. And, it's expensive, so I would hate to ruin it. The Jesse James T-Bones were good, too and so was Prof Whitehead's Beef Teriyaki, leading Julia to comment that "Alice knows her meat."

Episode Note: "My Fair Opponent" Molly Webber, the homely girl at school,  plays Eliza Doolittle  to Marcia's Henry Higgins in another what where they thinking at that school? episode.  This time it's an election for "Banquet Night" Hostess, apparently a pretty girl popularity contest that goes awry when Marcia' s fellow students nominate Molly as a joke. Marcia sees this as a great injustice and takes Molly under wing, trying to modernize her hair and clothing and gets her to ditch her glasses. She also helps Molly write a killer nomination speech. As a result, Molly is the new most popular girl at school and it quickly goes to her head, forgetting that she has Marcia to thank, and clearly not thinking about the shallow nature of her classmates. When the other nominee drops out of the contest, Marcia is second-runner up and takes her place. Initially she doesn't want to challenge poor Molly, but when Molly gets too big for her britches, Marcia tells her to bring it on. The girls go head to head, but Molly prevails. The night of the banquet Marcia is at home and feeling low when  Molly, seeing the error of her ways, shows up with an astronaut (because the Hostess always has a celebrity escort apparently) and graciously asks Marcia to share the title. The reign of hostess falls mainly on the girl with the mostess.
