Safety Monitor Stroganoff

This is another new one for me. I have never made Beef Stroganoff probably because it contains sour cream and I was under the twenty year impression that it was a no-no in our house. But now it isn't, so I combined the sour cream, tomato paste Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika and salt and pepper (to taste) and simmered for 20 minutes then removed from the heat and let it stand. Meanwhile, I sauteed sliced white mushrooms, set them aside and then browned the the beef tips and set them aside.I then returned the sour cream mixture to a simmer, added the mushrooms then added the beef until heated through. Served over egg noodles (which I now swear by NoYolks). Not bad, I'd let it off with a warning.

Episode Note: "Law and Disorder" Bobby takes his post as School Safety Monitor to the extreme. So much so, that his enforcement of the rules has alienated both his friends and family.  At first, he's not so enthused about being "class cop," but after a lecture about responsibility and the importance of enforcing the rules, likening him to a police officer, from Mike and Carol, Bobby is good to go. He studies the rules religiously so as to be able to crack down in the school yard. He writes tickets like the paper grows on trees for gum chewing, littering, and disorderly conduct in the hallways. Meanwhile, Mike brings home an old wooden row boat  and the Brady's set about to make it seaworthy. After issuing Cindy a moving violation for running in the hall, things go from bad to worse. Bobby turns his attention to enforcing the rules at home as well. He tries to explain that he's just doing his duty, but it falls on deaf ears. He begins compiling a weekly report for Mike and Carol on all the Brady rule breaking. Bobby has become what everyone in the family despises: a rat fink. Busting others is easy, but then Bobby finds himself in a rule breaking situation when a girl named Jill asks him to rescue her cat Pandora from an abandoned building clearly labeled 'KEEP OUT.' He successfully performs his role as first responder, but gets his good clothes filthy in the process. Trying to cover up his act, he puts his suit and a whole box of laundry detergent in the washer (that's always funny when suds are everywhere). He admits to breaking a rule, but Mike and Carol explain that some rule breaking is ok and they no longer want him enforcing the law at home, saying he has taken it too far. Talk about a mixed message. He doesn't even get a punishment, apparently his two wrongs made a right somehow. Mutiny on the SS Brady is narrowly avoided.
