Her friend Walter Denton hatches a plan to win Boynton back from rival teacher Miss Enright, who has been serving him dinners. Their scheme involves recipes from the domestic science class and an invitation to dinner. The story is part of the Our Miss Brooks series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on February 5, 1950, starring Eve Arden, Gale Gordon, Jeff Chandler and Richard Crenna.

Listen for: Walter's plan to win Mr. Boynton back through his stomach, and Miss Brooks's cooking attempts at dinner.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
