With my cooking skills, he would be better off with Rice Krispies or Cheerios . . . In following these steps, remember to line up section C and D with the cross-cut fabric of A and B which should have been sewn at spot Y when completing the inseam . . . What ' s the difference between a rib-eye cut and loin cut? How many cups to a pound? Isn ' t butter more healthy than margarine? . . . Gentlemen. Tomorrow we will go to Farmer Jack ' s and you will shop for a meal which you are going to prepare for your family. You will have to feed five people — two adults and three teen-age children.
