Because there are certain types of failure that you really want to celebrate. I personally learned a lot more from my failures than from my successes. And if you look at it that way, then all my failures, you know, in some sense brought me to my larger successes, because I recognized why I failed, and I learned from it. And so, at that point, you can even argue that it’s not a failure. It’s part of your learning process."

I didn't see your earlier question. I haven't tried squeezing, then salting (then squeezing again I suppose?). A lot of the salt is carried out with the water you get from squeezing after salting though... I don't know. Let me know how your next experiment goes (and I do want pics).
