Weather ~ Picture of the Day ~ Leave It to Beaver TV Show ~ Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole ~ National Do Something Nice Day

  


Good 46º cloudy morning. 
 
Yesterday before noon the clouds started moving out... we got clear and topped at 89º.


 
 
Picture of the Day.... awwwww.... so sweet!
 

 
 
 
Interesting about Leave It to Beaver TV show....
Things you didn't know...


It Was Canceled After Its First SeasonDespite its legendary status, Leave It to Beaver was not a smash hit at the time. After the first season ended in 1958, CBS canceled the series. Fortunately, ABC came in and rescued the show. It would air on ABC for its remaining five seasons.
 
“Leave It to Beaver” Wasn’t The Original Title
The series pilot was originally titled “It’s a Small World” and aired as an installment of the anthology series Heinz Studio 57. Before the new title was chosen, “Wally and the Beaver” was considered, but the show’s sponsor thought it might be mistaken for a nature program.
 
A Growth Spurt Led To a New WallyPaul Sullivan originally portrayed Wally in the pilot. He was replaced by Tony Dow when a growth spurt made Sullivan too tall to play the role. Dow wasn’t auditioning when he was chosen to play Wally Cleaver and remained on the show for six years. It was a lucky break because he had just been accompanying a friend who was trying out for the part.
 
Jerry Mathers Appeared on “I Love Lucy”


Mathers played Little Ricky when he sat on Lucy’s lap in the episode titled “Ricky’s Old Girlfriend” during season three of “I Love Lucy.” During the scene, Lucy was dreaming her husband had deserted her for Carlota Romero, an old girlfriend, and she and her small son were begging for money in the street. The episode appeared in 1953, which was four years before “Leave It to Beaver” debuted.
 
It Was The First TV Show To Show a Toilet

It was just the tank, but the appearance of a toilet onscreen was a TV first. The boys were often in the bathroom off their bedroom. In this case, in the episode "Captain Jack," Wally puts an alligator in the toilet tank after he and Beaver order one through the mail. This episode was intended as the premiere of the show but aired the second week.

We've taken the classic flavors of your favorite chicken cordon bleu recipe and mixed them all together to create our easy, creamy, and cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. Everyone at the table will be begging for seconds!

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 pound thin sliced deli ham, coarsely chopped
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • paprika for sprinkling

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl combine soup, mayonnaise, milk, mustard and black pepper. Remove half the sauce to another bowl and set aside.
  3. Stir the chicken into the large bowl of soup mixture, then spoon into prepared dish.
  4. Sprinkle the ham evenly over the chicken mixture, then place the slices of Swiss cheese on top of ham. Pour the remaining sauce over the cheese.
  5. In a small bowl mix the bread crumbs and butter, sprinkle over the sauce. Evenly sprinkle paprika on top then bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated in center.

All I know. Nuff said. Have a good Tuesday. Ciao.

Each year on October 5, people across the nation observe National Do Something Nice Day.

This observance is very similar to National Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is celebrated on February 17.

It would be ideal if everyone lived their lives doing kind things on a daily basis and without thinking about it. We all get caught up in our fast-paced lifestyles. However, kindness should never be sacrificed to get ahead in the world. Kindness doesn’t require grand gestures. Though, when able, those are acceptable, too. 

In a matter of seconds, we hold the power to change the course of a person’s day by being nice. The person’s day in question might even be our own. Some things that takes very little time at all and almost no effort include:

  • Noticing someone’s signal in traffic and allowing them into your lane
  • Picking up the neighbor’s newspaper on your daily walk and placing it within easy reach
  • Opening a door for another person
  • Giving your place in line to the person with only three items
  • Tipping your service staff an extra dollar or two more than you usually would
  • Give a compliment
  • Encourage a student with an idea for a solution
  • Read to a child
  • Listen to someone who is lonely

HOW TO OBSERVE

Do something nice.  The something can be anything from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop to giving a compliment to the tired clerk. Maybe the day calls for sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” or asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in the backyard or mowing the lawn for someone.
