My Inner pirate

I got an email on Monday from the editor of Thrill-list Atlanta  asking if I had a few pics of my cookies they could use for a write up on me. I was in the middle of baking an order so I sent him some pictures, what could it hurt? I've got a goal of 200 by April so I can get to Montreal and every order helps. I sent the pics and waited to see what would come of it. Tuesday morning at  5:15am my trusty IPhone chirped letting me know I had an email and saw the  Thrillist article! At 8:30 the emails started coming in and so did the orders. I started this week with 29/200 sold and as of right now Ive sold 49. One dozen at a time i'm getting closer.

In many of the emails I received my clients said the line "getting in touch with my inner pirate" struck a chord with them. So I got to thinking, aside from fencing, this whole idea is rather piratical, at least from the romantic view.
Pirates are seen as men of fortune who have take destiny into their own hands  flouted the rules of society and  made things happen for themselves. That's what I have done with this business so in a way fencing helps gets me in touch with my inner but so does the business, I do things my way, and dont follow the conventional rule of what a cookie should be, remember the Guinness cookies?

So I shall continue my Piratical baking  ways plundering cash from my unwitting cookie addicts, whom we all know find themselves addicted at first bite, and continue in the pursuit of an arcane unknown but thrilling sport! As always thank you for reading!
