Only Child Peanut Butter Sandwich

Crunchy peanut butter, salami, and sliced red onion on sandwich bread. I could not subject Julia and Mark to such an culinary atrocity. Serves one. Denni liked crunchy peanut butter, that's about the only nice thing I can say about it. A waste of peanut butter, salami, bread and time. You would have to be alone when eating this, because anyone around you would lose their lunch.

Episode Note: "Jan, The Only Child" A really good episode, for a really bad recipe. Everyone who is not an only child could relate to Jan at one time or another in their lives. Unfortunately, she's the only Brady to feel pushed around, left out, disrespected and lack privacy. The situation comes to a head when Jan befriends Donna, a lucky girl with no siblings. Jan sees that Donna's grass is always greener as she never has to share the bathroom, the telephone or the TV. Mike and Carol once again dismiss Jan's feelings and tell her she's lucky to have brothers and sisters to play with. Jan decides to rebel and not attend the charity hoedown on Saturday night, instead spending the evening with Donna. Mike and Carol are dismayed because they will be one short for the big square dance, but let Jan make her own choices. A corny square dance in the living room scene follows that you really have to see to believe. Jan sits out the rehearsal and when the other kids ask why, Mike explains that Jan is just going through a phase (that will last for several of the early reunion shows). Anyway, the kids try to give Jan her space, which of course backfires and Jan goes postal on them, telling them they are all phonies,.They give it right back to her, promising to be "invisible" whenever she's around. Then, they have a potato sack race, sans Jan, on the AstroTurf. Mike and Carol opt to let the kids work the situation out for themselves, feeling that Jan deserves the medicine she's getting. Sadly, Jan learns she can't have it both ways when she wants to play a game of checkers or borrow Marcia's sweater and the cold shoulder starts to give her a chill of loneliness. Jan caves and apologizes, and goes to the family hoedown. Jan learns once again the hard way, that six Brady's are better than one.
