How to Make a Pecan Pie and See The World By Andrew, Daniel, Paige, Brandon, and Jack in Ms. Mottola’s Library Class. Based on How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman
Making a pecan pie is really very easy. First, get all of the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.
In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Take a planeto China. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. Children like table tennis in China.
Take a race carto Kenyaand locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. The size of Kenya is 224,961 square miles.
Take a jet to Belgiumand make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. Belgium celebrates Christmas on December 6th.
Take a donkeyto Guatemala.Walk to the nearest sugar plantation. Introduce yourself to everyone . Then, go into the field and cut some stalks of sugar. The national bird of Guatemala is the Resplendent Quetzal.
Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the pecans? Have the pilot drop you off in Chile.Chileans use llamas to carry their goods.
Get to the nearest pecan farm. Pick a few pecans. Give one to the chicken, one to the cow, and eat one yourself. Hurry home, stopping at Jones Beach to pick up a jar of salty seawater.
Now all you have to do is mill the wheat into flour, evaporate the seawater from the salt, boil the sugar, persuade the chicken to lay an egg, milk the cow, churn the milk into butter, slice the pecans, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.
Remember that pecan pie tastes delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, which you can get at the market. But if the market happens to be closed…
