Life is WAY too short to be playing with pastry percentages .
ah the confusion of the written word.
I am talking about getting ensaimadas POSTED to me from Mallorca to the UK when I am here.......

Re: Boat and Croissants

Dear Baabs

I fear in the interim since we conversed last, my heart has revealed that it is not as intertwined with you as it should be.

All good things must come to an end. As I gaze over the rim of my coffee cup (its a high table) and look at the remains of my vacuum packed Ensaimada...I know we could never be truly happy together. You would forever be asking if I could get off my duff and actually bake some fresh ones.

There is also the question of whether two is better than one. For me it always will be two, but you long for the single hull. Perhaps Im a romantic at heart.......

I thank you for the laughs, for the moments of pleasure and for the attempt to like Guinness and oysters..... (I can never go back to that pub but it was somehow worth it)

I wish you well in your future sea travels and hope you find someone to enjoy a plate of escargot with.

besties......

Dear Baabs
Men are such fickle creatures, loyal to coffee alone.

Look on the bright side though, this is likely to have been a very lucky escape for you .

The sea is full of fish men.
Best wishes in your search for a heart king.

Regards,

Re: Boat and Croissants

The definition of "a vessel" is key to understanding a newly divorced French woman who willing to go on a forum full of possible crews. No... she is in France and would like to go to the United States. Is she in a hurry. No. Does she want to sail her boat, yacht... possibly... but not necessarily... she wants to leave her man behind... for whatever reason.. and find a new one in America. She feels to sail there or fly depending on what the situation that presents itself. France does have excellent Croissants... so she is offering companionship and adventure... if you have the skills and know how. What is the time line? Does she offer air fare to France? When does she plan to go and does she know? What kind of experience does she have? A big ocean the Atlantic. When she arrives will she have an agenda...Or a wander lust with time on her hands?
