true love

I never had a list of qualities I want in a man that I date beyond the fact that I'd like him to have a sense of humor but I have recently discovered a new requirement to win my love.  He must learn to bake or already know how to make what Carlyle called Basque cake.

i look so simple but i am complex layers of butter and cream.. love me

No, Carlyle did not give me his recipe.. but here are some links that may be similar.. I don't know if they're any good though I haven't tried to make it myself..  this is because I strongly believe that I must leave some food items out there for other people to fix for me.
