Scenario ThreeMark Smith is a 50 year old system administrator for a financial corporation. He has family and friends coming intotown to visit this weekend and is planning a dinner party at his house. He and his wife, Lucy, would like to prepare enough food for a party of ten people. They have come up with the following dishes for a four course dinner:

Appetizer : Calamari rings Main course : Frutti Di MareStarter : Ceaser salad Dessert : Tiramisu

Lucy realizes that she is missing quite a few ingredients to prepare the appetizer, starter and main course, and has given Mark the responsibility of shopping for the needed items. Mark has been pretty tied up at the office lately, trying to meet project deadlines and hardly has any time to make a trip to the store. He is currently a member of www.bahas.com, and decides to save some time and energy by purchasing the items online. She has prepared the following list of food items:

4 lbs Calamari2 heads Romaine lettuce1 box Prince Linguine (low calorie)

Help Mark logon to www.bashes.com using his username mis and password mis441. After logging on, please help Mark find the items on the list and add them to his shopping cart. Remember that Lucy has made a note to purchase a low calorie Linguine. View the nutritional information of the different brands of Linguine and select one that contains less than 240 calories.

As for the dessert, this will be Lucy’s first time making it. She would like Mark to find a recipe for Tiramisu and purchase only the ingredients she is missing. When he finds this recipe, he finds out they only need sugar and eggs from the ingredients listed. Help him add sugar and eggs to the shopping cart. Select one carton of Farm Eggs Grade A Large and one box of Granulated sugar.
