Foolproof Instructions

As I've mentioned previously, I've been thankfully surrounded by accomplished, inspired and intuitive chefs since birth.  Though I can cook (via recipe) it is awesome to be continually nourished by those who love me and create dishes from their inspiration and ability!

Since I am no chef, it is interesting to note that seemingly foolproof instructions also demand good common sense:

• what is low heat?
• when, in the process, does one stir once?  

Whether in the kitchen, workplace or volunteer assignment, it is important to verify instructions that are delivered by those accomplished in the area, if it's one that is new to us.  

Foolproof instructions generally aren't.  Most require additional info.
