You can usually salvage something. I recently had to rescue a shrimp dish (not designed by me) that came out a little off. That is, the dish&#8217;s designer said about the initial product: &#8220;We can&#8217;t feed this to people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don&#8217;t know if he was implying that the dish was suitable for dogs (it wasn&#8217;t &#8211; they can&#8217;t peel shrimp on account of not having thumbs), or if he meant that we should throw it away. What I said was: &#8220;We can rebuild it; we have the technology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The technology was 15 minutes of peeling shrimp, plus sweet chili sauce. The result was a room full of pleased people, who will never know the truth (unless they read my blog, that is).<\/p>\n<p>Now, salvaging mediocre blog posts is another story&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one is which shrimp is done two ways<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexeifler.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
