"To make cake: light oven, get out utensils and ingredients.  Remove blocks and toy cars from the table.  Grease pan.  Crack nuts.  Measure 2 cups flour.  Remove _______ hands from the flour.  Wash flour off him/her.  Remeasure flour.
Put flour, baking powder, and salt in a sifter.  Get dustpan and brush up pieces of bowl ________ knocked on the floor.  Get another bowl.  Cream shortening and sugar.  Answer door bell.
Return to the kitchen.  Remove ________ hands from the bowl.  Wash ________.  Answer phone.  Return.  Remove 1/2 inch of salt from greased pan.  Look for ________.  Grease another pan.  Answer phone...

"Remember, overweight results not from what you eat between Christmas and New Years', but what you eat between New Years' and Christmas."    so very true :)
