Oh, well, I like them dark and so does Claudia Come the chops Here comes the dinner fit for a queen is there queen in the house That queen is exactly what I do me Your grand chamberlain mr. Shakespeare tells me the peas are fine The chief meat chef mr. Bluff was raving simply raving about the lamb chops And as for the rolls I bought him. He looks worthy of your finest efforts chief chef This way I get my pillow straight. You ready ready There you are now the tray your majesty descends Nothing to it at all just followed what it said in the cookbook with a faint touch of instinct even have parsley on the lamb chops Just a sprig a mere sprig You don't think they're too well done. Do you oh no some people love them black How about the peas? Everybody knows that cooking things too long takes away all their food value. These are nice and raw Glad you liked them that way. I know I do and I think it's a wonderful idea not to warm the rolls up I mean when they're hot it's such a waste of butter. Well now that you're all set I'll get my dinner to David bring me a napkin while you're at it Oh, did I forget that I wonder what I could be thinking Here bluff wouldn't you like to eat a nice old lamb chop? It's kind of black, but maybe you like him that way That's fine block. Thanks an awful lot He was Shakespeare we're here to help me with the peas. He likes chewing on pebbles. Here comes the chops Here is the chef's own dinner And To favorite nurse in chamber base I can't think of another train nurse who climbs into the next bed just to keep the patient company It's just that little extra touch of service that makes not in hospital the unique institution It is you know our motto spend your vacation at Norton Hasn't been much of a vacation for you and it's been a perfect vacation I haven't had a minute free all day to do my work. What are you doing all day? I don't know I don't know what I've been doing except that. I'll never ask you that again when I come home from the office Here it goes again This broadcast of Claudia was supervised and directed by William Brown Milani If you're one of those who think entertaining and work go together, here's a happy suggestion Just order a case of coca-cola from your favorite food store or have your service station attendant put a case in the car Put plenty of coke in the refrigerator and you're ready to toss the welcome mat in front of the door You can serve coke right in the bottle if you wish and there'll be no glasses to watch and the price is still only 5 cents a bottle Every day Monday through Friday.
