Although this topic doesn’t necessarily relate directly to adapting virtualization technology to our business processes (or vice versa) we all need to eat and this is an example of a procedure that I learned and am continually improving according to ITIL 3 Framework. Anything we do in life can be documented and thus improved. This allows others to repeat the process in the way we want (establish standards) and then we can apply Kaizen principles to improve gradually as needed.
We like to prepare side dishes for each person to customize their waffles after they’re cooked: Blueberries, Yogurt, Maple Syrup mixed with melted butter, Chocolate Chips, Bananas are some of our favorites. If we have guests we’ll make a double batch per measurements listed below. If it’s “only” a few of us at home on a Saturday morning we cut this recipe in half.
