Adjective
Incapable of going wrong or being misused…
I chuckled as I finished up my first batch of enchilada sauce. I knew the recipe was simple and easily accommodated specific dietary needs, yet even with my limited ingredients, the final result was still wonderful! My friend makes it without garlic powder… I did not have onion powder… and the recipe called for cornstarch! Part way through I recalled I had given mine away, and not wanting to substitute wheat flour, I eliminated the extra water included in the original recipe, cooked it a bit longer, and it turned out great! Not to call myself a fool, but with my history of creative culinary escapades, I always appreciate something that is pretty much foolproof…
