I think it's awful that others don't understand crap-speak. I have always thought it was a given that at some point, people feel badly about their work. If they went around saying "I'm brilliant!" every step of the way, there would be quite a number of uneasy looks going around the table.
No one would accuse their mothers/grandmothers/aunts/other people of careless, bad cooking if they set down a plate/pastry and said, "This is not my best dish...don't get your hopes up."
Regardless of whether or not the dish is tasty, you can be sure that some thought and effort was put into it. But sometimes, things just don't come out right in the end. It takes some reworking.
Thanks for writing this. It IS a good reminder. (And sometimes, I still think that reading is a religious experience ^.^)
