Good luck. As of yesterday, I'm five weeks post-op from an incisional hernia repair - here's hoping that your recovery is as uneventful as mine has been.
I think it's the whole idea of fondant - baking a yummy cake and filling it with something delicious, only to cover it with spackle seems kind of pointless (can you tell that I've been binging holiday baking shows?)
Just read an article about rabbis debating whether plant-based "pork" is kosher. The little old Jewish lady who I used to eat brunch with would have been fascinated with the discussion. Rest in peace, Lily. I miss you.
