How to Make a Blueberry Pie and See The World Based on How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman By Elaina, Joseph R., Joseph L., Sean, and Alexandra in Ms. Mottola’s Library Class

Making a blueberry pie is really very easy. First, get all of the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.

Unless of course, the market is closed.

In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Take a forklift to the Czech Republic. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. In winter, the temperature is below 2 degrees!

Take a plane to South Korea and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. Rice and kimchee {pickled cabbage with hot peppers} are served nearly every day.

Take a plane to Belgium and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. A fun fact about my country is that people say bonjour and that is how you say hello.

Take a boat to Nepal. Walk to the nearest sugar plantation. Introduce yourself to everyone. Then, go into the field and cut some stalks of sugar. They speak Nepali.

Better fly home. You don’t want the ingredients to spoil.

Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the blueberries? Have the pilot drop you off in Poland. The population is 38,608,929.

Get to the nearest blueberry bush. Pick a few blueberries. 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 blueberries, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.

Remember that blueberry pie tastes delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, which you can get at the market. But if the market happens to be closed…

YOU CAN EAT IT PLAIN!
