+# BASELINE
+
+# Come up with the three arrays of ten items each. Each list should be a different type of food or descriptor for that food.
+
+# For example, the first array can contain adjectives, the second, cooking styles and the third, foods. If this was the array selection, it could create a few items like:
+
+adjectives = ["ambiguous", "auspicious", "abrasive", "abhorrent", "acrid", "adhoc", "axiomatic", "able", "ablaze", "abandoned"]
+
+preparations = ["baked", "coddled", "blackened", "blanched", "charbroiled", "braised", "brined", "broiled", "candied", "caramelized"]
+
+foods = ["grits", "biscuits", "ribs", "corn bread", "hush puppies", "spoonbread", "peach cobbler", "banana pudding", "fried chicken", "chit\'lings"]
+
+# PRIMARY REQUIREMENTS
+
+# Create a random menu generator that can be played from the Terminal.
+
+# Your generator should pull one item from each array you made in the baseline requirements to create a "menu item".
+
+# When the program runs, it should create and show a list of ten numbered menu items.

+
+# TEST & VERIFY
+
+# ✓ The menu items are selected randomly.
+# ✓ There are 10 menu items.
+# ✓ Each item should pull one word from each of the 3 arrays.
+# ✓ The items are numbers 1-10 (not starting at zero).
+# ✓ Run the program a few times and ensure that the last word in the arrays are used.
+# ✓ ensure that the first word in the arrays are used at least occasionally.
+
+# OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
+
+# Expand your solution to ensure that no descriptive term in a menu item is ever repeated. So if the first menu item is hot pan-fried dumplings, the the phrases hot, pan-friend and dumpling cannot individually be used in any other menu items.
