Oh, I didn't think that's what you meant! Just giggling at the idea.

Mind you, the first step would be developing flexibility and strength, and maybe hatha yoga could help with that.

Not exactly something you could learn online! 😜

But...maybe there's something via continuing education / community courses?

I agree! But I would also like the option πŸ˜‰

Thanks. I keep thinking that I should make cakes more often (partly so I can remember what I learned the previous time, partly so I could get better at decorating), but then I'd be eating cake more often, and well...

I like both of those! πŸ˜…

I was off them for years due to having a bad experience with rancid ones (shudder), but now I'm back. Coffee is a really great partner flavour.

I was surprised to learn that buttered, toasted, chopped walnuts taste a bit like popcorn? Delicious.

Not sure why buttered walnuts isn't at least as popular as buttered almonds. 🍽️🍿🍜

A round, brown cake sits on parchment paper on a blue Tupperware cake base. The cake has a light brown frosting visible in the middle and top only, with sides left bare. There are eight toasted walnut halves spaced out clock-style to demarcate the slices.

Took a crack at an espresso walnut cake for a birthday. Espresso gΓ©noise sponge, buttered toasted walnut and espresso icing filling and topping.

I don't make a lot of cakes, so my decorating skills are pretty minimalist. Tasted good though!

The older I get the more I find myself reevaluating my definitions of smart.
