Making a peach 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 tank to Egypt. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do.

Egypt has been irrigating their crops for almost one thousand years.

Take a boat to France and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking

the egg that way. Some popular foods in France are: bread, eggs, wine ,and cheese.

Take a motorcycle to Canada and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest

possible results. Canada eats more mac-and-cheese than any other country in the world.

Take a donkey to the Ukraine. Walk to the nearest sugar beet farm. Introduce yourself to everyone . Then, go into the field and pick some sugar beets. They have to work very hard in the Ukraine to survive.

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

Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the peaches? Have the pilot drop you off in Kenya.

They will milk a cow and pour the milk into a cup. They then also put cow’s blood into the cup and drink it.

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

Remember that peach 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!
