How to grill by Steven Raichlen 
Once you have your grill assembled, the next thing to decide is where to put it.  A grill puts out a lot of heat, so you should position it several feet away from the side of the house or any plants or shrubbery.  You'll have an easier time with a spot that is sheltered from the wind.  When positioning a grill on a wooden deck, remember that sparks and live embers can fall from a charcoal grill.

The Patchwork Girl of Oz by Lyman Frank Baum 
 Unc Nunkie, Margolotte and the Magician all stood looking at the marvelous Powder, but Ojo was more interested just then in the Patchwork Girl's brains.  Thinking it both unfair and unkind to deprive her of any good qualities that were handy, boy took down every bottle on the shelf and poured some of the contents in Margolotte's dish.  No one saw him do this, for all were looking at the Powder of Life; but soon the woman remembered what she had been doing, and came back to the cupboard.

Curious George and the Pizza by Margret Rey 
At the pizza place, Tony the baker was getting the pizzas ready for baking.  He flattened out a ball of dough into a large pancake and tossed it in the air.  He spread tomato sauce on it, sprinkled it with cheese, and shoved it in the over.  Then the telephone rang.  "A fellow from the factory wants a large pizza delivered in a hurry," Tony's wife called.  "OK, I'll get my coat," said Tony.

Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes 
And we scrounged.  Next to survival, scrounge was probably the most important word in our new vocabulary.  We found a store that was throwing out water-damaged mattresses.  Getting them home was a problem, since we had to make two trips, leaving Brad and Katie, armed with sticks to guard over the remained.  I truly expected them to be challenged by some gang boss, but they said that the only person who came by was a scrawny little rat of a girl living alone.  We let her have one of the mattresses.
