Sore Throat Ice Cream Pie

Pumpkin ice cream pie, a perfect anecdote to a chilly October day. I love pumpkin pie, and pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin donuts, but have never had it in an ice cream pie form. Normally when we make pies (and I say we, but I really mean Mark) "we" make our own crust. Mark makes the most delicious, perfect pie crust, but today Alice told me to use a pre-made store bought crust. And I follow her orders. So, canned pumpkin, vanilla ice cream, nutmeg and cinnamon blended together and put into the baked crust, then frozen.

Episode note: "Coming Out Party" Mr. Phillips invites the entire Brady clan, including Alice for a day of deep sea fishing on his boat. Everyone is excited for the excursion, except for Alice who gets seasick. Mike warns the kids to stay healthy, but of course Cindy starts sneezing immediately. The sneezes turn into a fever and and soon Dr. Howard (not Cameron or Porter) makes a house call and delivers the bad news, Cindy needs to have her tonsils removed and wants to schedule the surgery for Saturday - the day of the boat trip. The family is disappointed, especially since Peter and Greg went to great lengths to get Alice use to the motion in the ocean by rigging up a plank between two rocking chairs. Anyway, Mike manages to reschedule the trip for the following weekend and there is much rejoicing. Meanwhile, when Cindy is being rechecked by the doctor, she refuses to open wide and say aahh. Carol demonstrates the technique, leading Dr. Howard to determine that she too needs to have her tonsils removed. They both have the operation and are at home resting with strict orders not to speak. But when Mike telephones and Alice is out, Carol answers making Mike angry. She promises not to do it again, so he tests her by calling back, and of course she answers, getting her angry at his trick. The third time is not the charm when the phone rings, as Carol is ready to give Mike a dose of his own medicine, but it is in fact Mr. Phillips calling. Carol, still thinking it is Mike trying to trick her, tells him his boat  is a broken down barnacle barge and hangs up. This leaves Mike with some splaining to do down at the office. Once the mess is cleared up the trip goes as planned (cue some stock footage of a sail boat on the ocean) and all but Alice have a real good time. She's unable to answer the call of the sea, having lost her lunch at the sight of the marina.
