#### Feature Request for API Hackers: Lazy Chef App

Usecase: As a Glitch Player, I would like an app that inventories not just what is on my person, but also what is in my house, and offers suggestions about what I should cook based on the ingredients in those spaces. That would be version 1.0. Version 1.1 would then offer suggestions based on maximum energy yield. Version 1.2 would find the most efficient path between energy expended versus energy yielded. Version 1.3 would give me a grocery list of stuff I would need to buy based on that efficiency curve. Version 2.0 would roll out a similar feature for cocktail makers.

  Just an inventory of my house, not just cabinet but floors and ground too would be very useful

- as of now, the api doesn't give us access to what's in your house. i'm 99% sure there's no way to get it without using the api either.
  i do like the idea, though, even if it'd have to be done with like.. you tell it what items you have (though it COULD get your inventory automatically).
  might work on something like this. :D

- I think the steps would go something like, pull inventory.
  compare inventory against list of known recipes.
  output number of items that could be made, and their quantities.
  compare against the spreadsheet of known recipes for energy efficiency in making, output list
  compare against the spreadsheet of known recipes for top energy yield, output list.
  in terms of display, we should probably see if pokket's interested. his/her work on glitchonomics was pretty impressive, right down to the font choice.
