Bride of Sam Enchilada Casserole

Another go at enchiladas, this time beef and only a tee bit of sour cream, which Mark now says he doesn't mind when it is mixed in a sauce. Lucky me. Another can soup recipe, only this time Alice wants me to use cream of chicken mushroom. This is incredibly similar to the Evil Stepmother's except for the assembly, which is layered. At least this repeat was 15 pages apart from the last. I shouldn't complain, I mean if it weren't for reruns, I would never have gotten to know the Brady's.

Episode Note: "The Elopement" A series of misunderstandings and assumptions lead Jan and Marcia to conclude that Alice and Sam are planning their elopement for Saturday night. What they are really planning is to go bowling as they are in the mixed doubles semi-finals. It is easy to see how the two can be confused. They are, however, standing up for Sam's cousin Clara who is eloping the following day.  Anyway, "bowling" becomes the euphemism for elopement and the Brady's are further convinced when Sam calls Mr Brady about affordable housing for a "friend" that is getting married and the the kids run into the Reverend Melborne at the butcher shop. As a result, they begin to plan a reception for the happy couple and Carol proceeds to interview temporary housekeepers to take Alice's place while she's on her honeymoon. God forbid she do the cooking and cleaning herself for the week! Anyway, Alice and Sam have a fight over the wedding gift for his cousin, Sam wants to buy his and hers bowling balls and Alice thinks that is unromantic, because as she tells Sam "No one wants to strike out on their honeymoon." As a result, they break their "bowling" date. Sam soon comes to his senses, and the "bowling" is back on. When they return from "bowling" the Brady's surprise them with a reception only to find out that "bowling" indeed does mean bowling. Poor Alice, always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
