Westdale High Family Frolics Frittata

This is sort of like breakfast for dinner in one dish: eggs, ham cheese and potato baked together. First, Alice had me quarter white potatoes and boil for 15 minutes and then drain, cool and sliced. Then, in a baking dish I layered  the ham and the potatoes. In a separate bowl I beat six eggs and added herbs and salt and pepper and then poured that over the ham and potatoes, followed by some shredded Gruyere. Baked for 25 minutes or until golden brown (yes, she is always that precise). The consensus was that is was okay, but my breakfast strada is better. I say strada, Alice says frittata, let's call the whole thing off.

Episode Note: "The Show Must Go On?"  We find Greg and Marcia both having volunteered their parents to perform in the Westdale High Family Night Frolics talent show. Needless to say, Carol is less than thrilled at at the notion of singing in public, and as Mike tries to convince her to do it he gets roped into performing with Greg. Everyone chips in to sell tickets and Alice volunteers to take some down to Sam at the butcher shop. All is well, especially since chicken livers are on sale for 69 cents a pound, until Alice discovers Sam would rather go bowling than take her to the Frolics. A fight ensues and they break up. Alice is down in the dumps at home, and Jan and Cindy take matters into their own hands and decide to make Sam jealous by convincing him that Alice is cheating on him. This doesn't sit well with Sam, and he demands that Alice allow him to take her to the show. Nothing like young girls lying and manipulating so a woman can get her man. Anyway, Carol and Marcia perform "Together" from Gypsy and Mike does a dramatic reading accompanied by Greg on the guitar, spicing it up with a comic gag routine involving Peter and Bobby dropping feathers and water from the cat walk to much laughter from the audience. The show is a rousing success. Remember when you were a kid and thought if you and your mother could just do a song and dance routine together dressed as hobos everything would be grand? Yeah, me too.
