Failure

   Whenever I cook, I have several failures. I know it feels quite horrible because you spend so much effort and all sorts of ingredients already for the dish that you are preparing for many people, then here we are. It tastes awful, salty, bitter, too sweet, burnt, ........or has got no taste in it at all!
   What can you do in these cases? Would you just throw everything away without any hesitation? Would you try to fix with some more spices or by adding more water? Would you still eat even though it tastes a little bit of 'failure'? Would you try to wait until it gets cold then try to taste again with a little hope that you think you might taste better when it gets cold?
   I bought a cook book for several kinds of soup in Korean, but it sounds really 'difficult' to understand. Well, I know I should understand Korean because it's my mother tongue, but some of the words in a cook book are very vague. For example, there is no such a definite thing for 'a little bit of chili powder. How much would you put for 'a little bit of chili powder'? This is very easy to be cooked in various ways depending on who is cooking this dish-in this case, chili powder means Gochugaru(the Korean chili pepper powder).
   I realized that I cannot just follow what any cook book says, but I need much more experiment and experience with the same dish repeatedly. And only this will tell me how much I should put it in when they say 'a little bit'.
   Now, this project which is just my name right now should be named as something different. What about Laboratory Kitchen instead of Traveling Kitchen? Cooking Lab? Cook Lab? Which one do you like? None of these? Oh, is this going to be anther failure of choosing a name?
