"The Schedule" is one of my favorite episodes. "I'll be ready in a minute, dear." LOL "Okay, Ethel. Let's have those biscuits." :)

And, no dinner at the Littlefield's would be complete without after dinner mints and wax fruit. Ya gotta love good 'ol Phoebe & Alvin! LOL :) ;)

I love that one bit of dialogue in "The Diner" between Lucy and Ethel. It's just so darn funny.

Ethel: "At least we put meat in ours."
Lucy: "And, just what are you INSUATING we put in ours?"
Ethel: "I'm not saying. But, you can BET on it in the afternoon and EAT it at night!" ;)

When I saw the mention of strawberries I thought of that episode, but I didn't know we were including LDCH, although, why not!? :)

In that case, how about a sandwich on rye doused in coffee? :lol:

Or a cake with the inscription, to my darlin, another Marlon, you know, Marlon Monroe.

:rofl: That was funny.

Not as funny as the earlier Hollywood ep when Ricky is moaning about not getting his name in the motion picture columns. "It's all about Marilyn Monroe-- Marilyn Monroe... What's Marilyn Monroe got that I haven't got?"

BTW Lucy's mother had Hedda Hopper over for tea in that ep, so that goes into the menu too.

Marilyn was mentioned several times in I Love Lucy. I guess that would be a sign of the times. ;)

Marilyn had an entry in her little black address book with Desi on it. She didn't burn it when she came in from Cuba. :lol:
It was on Ebay a while back.

Lucy! on the scotland episode they say she looks good enough to eat! :lol:

Really? I would love to see that.

The original article is no longer available but I copied/pasted from my Desi board.

The small, brown leather phone book contains hundreds of typed numbers and addresses for everyone from her dry-cleaner and doctor to famous friends such as Peter Lawford, Henry Fonda, Desi Arnaz and Jean Kennedy Smith, as well as ex-husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. Five phone numbers are listed for Sinatra.

Her estate sold the phone book for $90,000 to GoldenPalace.com, Julien said. The painting went for $78,000 to collector David Davis, who runs an art gallery in Rhode Island
