stick to the basics – or use your cell phone to order takeout.
Simpler recipes require simple techniques, usually carried out one at a time.
Complex recipes require more skill – and more multi-tasking.

Most recipes call for chopping a variety of ingredients. Click on the item to
chop from the store of ingredients in the upper left, and drag it to the cutting

Mixing & Stirring
Mixing and stirring involve … mixing and stirring! With the ingredients in a
bowl, mix until the meter is full. When stirring foods cooking on the stove,
keep an eye on the temperature meter. Stir to reduce the temperature. If the
meter slips into the red, you risk burning the dish.
Baking
Adjust the meter on the oven to set the correct temperature to bake your item.

they cook evenly. Also, keep an eye on the meter to make sure that your
ingredients don’t end up overdone.
Gardening
When you move in you’ll discover that your front yard is a mess and don’t
think your neighbors haven’t noticed. They have. Click on any of the bare
patches to get
started. Along
with choosing

appropriate
shrubs and

you’ll also need to
keep your garden
well-watered
and free from
pests and weeds.
As a side note,
you should also
know that if your
neighbor has
angered you or her yard is looking too perfect, you can put her in her place by

Cleaning
You cherish your husband and your son, but living with two men can be a
challenge. A stylish and orderly home keeps your Happiness Need high – not
to mention your Composure Need. If something needs to be cleaned or a bed
needs to be made, just run your cursor over it and you will be able to click a
button to accomplish the task at hand. If cleaning is too much of a burden,
use your cell phone to call the maid service.
