Here in Atlanta, I believe the standard is "how to fry okra."  Sorry,
couldn't resist.  ;-)

Subject: RE: Portfolio For a New Tech Writer?

Found a good basic article on building a portfolio for a new tech writer...

http://www.writersblock.ca/winter99/a-essay.htm

Interestingly, the writer mentions that "an interview standard" is asking
interviewees to describe how they'd make a peanut butter sandwich. In the
UK, the standard is "how to make a cup of tea?"

Jane Carnall, who's getting quite good at explaining how to make tea,
