Leeky Vase Soup

There are a number of soup recipes to go, so I thought I'd start with this one now that the weather warrants it. So leeks, sauteed in butter and then simmered with peeled  and sliceed yukon gold potatoes (although Alice just said "potatoes" and didn't specify what kind) in water for 30 minutes. Then, add milk. Yep, that's what I thought too. Yucky, icky, blech, and I can't even write what Julia said. To be truthful, if I didn't love this episode so much, I would really be in a sour mood.

Episode Note: " Confessions, Confessions" A Brady classic. Peter, Bobby and Greg are shooting hoops in the house when Peter's throw goes awry and breaks Carol's favorite vase. Peter sees his upcoming camp out the guys go up in smoke with his foul as he is sure to be grounded, and Bobby reminds us all of the infamous line "Mom always said, don't play ball in the house." But, Greg convinces him to wait until after the camping trip to fess up. He masterminds a plan to glue the vase back together and all the kids agree to keep it a secret to buy Peter some time. Mike, howevr, accelerates the inevitable by bringing home a bouquet of flowers for Carol. At dinner, the vase springs so many leaks it looks like a fountain. Greg, Marcia, Jan, Bobby, Cindy and Alice each individually confess to the crime, leading Mike and Carol to suspect the one person who didn't: Peter. They begin putting the screws to him to force a confession, first by punishing everyone but him, and then by rewarding him with a gift. But Peter holds firm. His conscience does begin to weigh on him during a dream sequence where relives the vase breaking and Bobby saying "Mom always said don't play ball in the house" over and over in the "Oh, My Nose" fashion.  Finally, the day of the camping trip, Peter caves at the sight of his brothers and sisters carrying out their punishments and comes clean to Mike and Carol. The truth hvings set him free, Peter learns that you don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
