Wait a minute! Read this first:
An important rule about
An important word about
knives, stoves, and blenders
The word is: YIKES! There’s scary, dangerous stuff in your
kitchen at home. Our computer kitchen is completely
safe and it sings and talks. The rule is: Never, ever
cook in a kitchen that does not sing and talk
unless you have a grown-up along to sing and
talk with. NEVER, EVER, EVER! Ya got it?
Make a promise to the nearest grown-up
right now and shake hands.

dogs, cats,
gerbils, and
goldfish
You’ll get to feed many interesting and dreadful
things to our computer dog, Taste Test IV. Our
computer dog is as different from a real dog as
your computer mouse is from a real mouse. Remember that your pet at
home trusts you to take good care of it. Good care means kindness and
the correct food. NEVER, EVER, EVER feed your pet anything without
first asking a grown-up! Go promise your pet and at least one grown-up
right now and shake hands with them. (If your pet is a goldfish or snake,
you may want to skip the shaking hands part.)

The goal of Someone’s in the Kitchen is to whip up
one of the Cookbook recipes or invent a recipe of your
own. Then, you give it to me, Taste Test IV, your doggie
assistant. I’ll let you know if it’s awfully good or just
plain awful.
