I just completed the book on the 60's hit sitcom, Petticoat Junction and it should be in print sometime around Christmas of this year. There is not one episode of that cozy classic that didn't make your mouth water in at least one scene. In fact, the pilot episode, Spur Line to Shady Rest, features a scene on the show's favorite character train, The Cannonball. The Bradley family is on their way back to the Shady Rest Hotel, so the proprietor, Kate Bradley (played par excellence by Bea Benaderet) invites all the riders to a home cooked meal at her Shady Rest Hotel. In her tempting voice, that menu included:
"Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes with Cream Gravy
Corn on the Cob with Fresh Churned Butter
Hot Biscuits and Jam
Home Made Apple Pie with Ice Cream....
and let's see...what else?" --Kate Bradley
Watch me try to vegan up and thin down that one, folks! HA! I've thought about it ever since I first started the book! Hard to believe the girls would keep those lovely figures with that kind of home cookin'! :)
Keep an eye out for the Shady Rest Menu, comin' up!
