Frog Prince Flank Steak

Nothing objectionable here. Flank steak in a teriyaki marinade of soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, brown sugar and garlic. The downside was standing outside in 90+ degrees at the grill. Sliced thin and served with rice and Julia's new fav, asian broccoli slaw. The only thing is, no matter how many times you kiss flank steak, it never turns into filet mignon.





Episode Note: "Eenie, Meenie, Mommy, Daddy" A first season dilemma for little Cindy when she gets the role of a lifetime as the Fairy Princess in her school play. All is well, as she "herses" her part and the other kids join in making her a magic wand and fairy wings. Even Jan gets in on the act by giving Cindy drama lessons (because who would know better?). But soon a problem bigger than Cindy arises. It turns out that the Dixie Canyon Elementary school auditorium can't hold all of the families of the actors, and the teacher decides that each child may only have one ticket. Alice gets the call and delivers the bad news to Cindy, who now must choose between Carol and Mike. She can't make up her mind between her "old" mommy or her "new" daddy and instead opts to pretend she has a sprained ankle (next to the mumps, measles and laryngitis, the most overused plot line) to get out of the performance. When Mike and Carol get wind of what's going on, Mike gracefully bows out of the competition saying he has a business meeting the night of the play. But then, he has a scathingly brilliant idea and a phone call to the teacher solves the problem entirely.  The school puts on a special performance of the play just for the Brady family, and once again they live happily ever after....
