Cure for a Fever Chcken Soup

Chicken noodle soup, perfect for a chilly day. First, Alice had me boil chicken pieces in water for about an hour and a half, remove the chicken from the bone, return it to the now broth. add noodles and boil and then simmer. No added veggies, no nothing else. Chicken soup in it's purest form, not even heavy cream! If you are feeling a cold coming on and in the area, stop by.




Episode Note: "Career Fever" Greg wants to be an architect. Greg doesn't want to be an architect. I wish he would make up his mind. Apparently, he wrote a school essay saying he wants to follow in his father's footsteps for lack of a better idea, but doesn't feel that way. Mike reads the essay and is so proud his buttons pop, not remembering the disastrous results of the last time Greg tried out architecture, and offers to get him a job down at the office. Meanwhile, Peter and Jan decide their own future professions: doctor and nurse (Jan, always second fiddle). They begin studying the medical dictionary for rare diseases, leading Peter to fear he has six months to live. Anyway, Greg is in a pickle but comes up with a scheme to show what a no talent he is by drawing really bad sketches for Mike's perusal. Mike tries to see the bright side by complementing Greg's potential and what seemed to be hard work. If they both would just have been honest, this episode would be over by now. But instead, Mike decides to give him a drafting set hoping that the right tools will make a difference. Greg, feeling the pressure to please his father, decides to go even farther out in his drawings to really dissuade Mike. Privately, Mike admits Greg is Frank Lloyd Wrong, but still encourages him to his face.  Greg can't take it anymore and  finally comes clean, and everyone, including Peter, are feeling much better, thank you.
