(1) Be good to your feet.  If your feet aren't happy, your day will go
poorly.
(2) Allow more time for prep (chopping, etc.) than you think you will need,
by about 25%.  If you have time left over, take a rest and eat something.
(3) Snacks are your friend.
(4) A happy kitchen full of friends produces better food.
(5) A small 2-burner coleman camping stove should always be in reserve
against that moment when you need just one more heat source.  A coleman
stove works as well in a fancy kitchen, sitting on the counter, as it does
in a campsite on a picnic table.
(6) Someone other than you should do the bulk of the heavy cleanup.  Insist
on it.  Be prepared to stay around and give direction, but if you are in
dishwater at 11 p.m., there's something wrong.
(7) There is no such thing as too many serving bowls.
