Scoop Brady's Baked Chicken

After nearly 90 recipes, I realize a fatal flaw. Turns out I saved the worst for last. When I had 50 or 60 to choose from, I would skip over certain ones, thinking I would do them later. Well, it seems later has come sooner than I thought. This is another one of those that just upon reading you know it can't be good, or possibly work the way Alice describes. Iindividual casserole dishes are moistened with broth, then cooked egg noodles, then topped with the sauce (milk, flour, broth, lemon juice, salt, pepper and nutmeg) and poached chicken. Baked for 30 minutes. It's the milk that gets me and the baking and the proportions are off, I had to use one large baking dish. I am dumbfounded, or maybe just dumb. And that's the whole truth.

Episode Note: "Power of the Press" Just can't get enough of Peter this week. He has been awarded a column in the Filmore Junior High called "The Whole Truth by Scoop Brady." Peter is taking this new assignment very seriously, so much so that he has let his schoolwork, especially science, fall by the wayside. He hoards all of the pencils, erasers and carbon paper (there's a blast from the past) in the house and hunkers down over Mike's typewriter to create his column. Meanwhile, Marcia's practicing for a puppet show. Peter has writer's block and even though Jan and Marcia give him lots of news items, it all seems a bit too dull. Greg and Alice suggest jazzing it up by mentioning names and making his column more personal. He writes a column flattering to several students and then reciprocate by giving Peter gifts and inviting him to parties. Despite warnings from Greg and Marcia about the persnickety science teacher Mr Price, Peter blows off  studying for his science final exam and gets a big fat "D." Peter decides to use his column to flatter Mr Price, hoping it will influence his final grade. Mike and Carol find out about the D and the sucking up and lecture Peter about the responsibility involved in the power of the press. Peter comes clean to Mr Price, who wasn't fooled by the sudden adoration and they both agree that their communication skills could use an upgrade. Peter ends up with the final grade he earned, a "C."  Mike and Carol end with a lights out kissing grading system of their own - now that's the power of the press.
