Well, I guess that depends on your gui and the situation.  I don't see
any way to script direct manipulation of vegetables randomly placed on
the ground?  As for mixing spellingredients one could make the looks of
"the soup" be the criterion for success.  Anything ordered can of
course be scripted given the right OS-hooks or hardware.
