Note that with a times loop, you get an iteration variable corresponding to the current count. So this code could be rewritten as:

10.times do |n|
  # ..get descrip, how, what...
  print "#{n+1}. #{descrip} #{how} #{what}\n\n"
end

Both ways work - use the one that you think makes the most sense to you.

This is great. Thanks for the suggestion.

descrip = adjectives[rand(adjectives.length)]
how = styles[rand(styles.length)]
what = foods[rand(foods.length)]
print "#{count}. #{descrip} #{how} #{what}\n\n"
count +=1
end
