I really appreciated the parts about managing and sharing the cake. These are the tidbits that are unique to this writeup but important globally.

I was delighted to see that you have your father's way with words. And also that more people picked up on it and also appreciate it. "It is not for the faint of heart, but it is for the fat of ass." Perfection 🧑‍🍳💋

As someone who also never has buttermilk on hand AND lives in an area where no one seems to stock it in containers smaller than a goddamn QUART (srsly wtf), I was delighted to learn at the age of 51 that this is a thing that exists: https://www.kroger.com/p/saco-buttermilk-powder/0004175604012
