That was enjoyable. But it was not the violent shake and break
method that made me laugh, it was the caveman inventiveness factor of
putting two bowls together rim to rim, so that not only is rigorous
shaking involved, but also the task of keeping the bowls perfectly
together to keep debris from shaking out. Sounds like a good workout
for the shoulders.
