Stolen Playbook Hot Dogs

Have you ever marinated hot dogs? Me neither, that is until today. Alice continues to challenge me. This time it is Dijon mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire and Tabasco blended together with the dogs for two hours before grilling. It gave the dogs a bit of a smokey flavor, but was hardly worth the effort of making the marinade. Hopefully things are better for the first Michigan game today. The new coach is named Brady, in the ultimate merger of Denni's two favorite things: Michigan Football and The Brady Bunch. It's a sign.

Episode Note: "Quarterback Sneak" It's the week before the big game to decide the league championship between Westdale High and cross-town rival Fairview. Marcia is targeted by smooth talking Jerry Rogers, Fairview's Quarterback, in order to get into the Brady compound and steal Greg's playbook. Of course, Marcia is completely taken with dreamy Jerry and refuses to see him as the opposition.  Meanwhile, Carol's high school sweetheart and former Westdale High all-star athlete Tank Gates is in town for the big game and comes calling, making Mike a little jealous. When Bobby sees Jerry trying to steal the Westdale playbook from the Brady's family room, he tells Greg and they confront Marcia with the evidence that Jerry is a Fairview fink. Greg decides to get even by replacing his playbook with a phony one and leave it as bait for Jerry, who of course steals it, and Marcia is forced to see his true colors. When Mike finds out, he reprimands Greg for the deceit, telling him he is as dishonest as Jerry. Being a stand-up guy, Greg tries to tell Fairview that the book was a fake, but they refuse to believe him. But, nice guys finish first as Westdale wins the game fair and square. Luckily, Fairview didn't have a goat mascot, or Greg would not have had a hoof to stand on.
