Once some dives into the world of cooking and tastes the first bites of defeat, their real character shines through the smoke of failure. Established feudal orders in the kitchen are essential for successful day to day operations in the long term but not everybody is born to be a queen.

Those with the satisfactory self-knowledge about themselves admit their shortcomings and renounce their rights for the territory to higher beings capable of ruling the landscape.

Admitting failure doesn’t equal defeat. It means, we are willing to do what it takes to make things perfect. It shows our willingness for change to achieve success. Without recognizing failure, we can’t change the path that led to it.

Repeating the same thing over and over again won’t magically yield different outcomes. If the results are good, then we have nothing to worry about though. As on the flip side of consecutive failures, there are the three starred successes that appreciates the ability for repetition.

Chocolate mug cakes aren’t famous for their complexities nor their beauty in the dessert realm, yet like people can find beauty in all sizes and shapes, we can find company and pass our times with mug cakes too.

Although mug cakes sound like they are only good for one-night stands, in reality we can build a lasting relationship with them based on mutual respect and understanding. Once we lay down the ground rules and more importantly articulate the limits of our capabilities, we can count on each other and expect only the best from each other.

For example, we can happily serve two people with them, or with a stretch even a small three-persons family once in a while, but once we step over the capabilities of our microwave, we are better off baking a proper cake in the oven.

Not like we couldn’t pack full our oven with the countless mugs, collected during the years but rather because cleaning those things once a cake was baked in them is a pain, reserved for those who are not willing to learn from their mistakes, doomed forever crawl at the bottom of the kitchen’s food chain.
