Magic Shelf
Every column / row provides ingredients for a dish. | |
Darcey goes to the supermarket, unsure of what to prepare for dinner. When she stumbles upon the magic shelf, she spontaneous decides to have an aubergine dish. She looks at the row in which the aubergines are stored: Besides the already mentioned fruit, there are tomatoes, mozzarella, parsley, olive
oil and salt. Back at home, she prepares a fine salad.
Randall, who arrives a few minutes later, choses to eat something with tomatoes in it. While the "tomato row" contains only indegrients suitable for salad, he finds ground meat, onions, cheese and sunflower oil in the column - things that go well together in the frying pan.
For those who don't "get" it: The name was deliberately chosen to display the relation to the "magic square".
It all adds up to lunch.

Magic Buggy. Have a shopping cart with small compartments. Place an food items into it, and get automatic suggestions for the remaining slots. |
|
| |
Magic Sous-Chef. Get you chef to send the sous-chef out to buy the groceries. |

Maybe you could translate this into a book
with a different magic square on every
page. |

The contents of any row or column would
make a meal, like here, but also add up to
provide the same number of calories.
Different squares would have different
calorie totals. |

This would be a much more betterer way to organise a supermarket. |

go 3-D! The other row can be used for recipe varations! |
