The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 27 - Pie Week!

May 18th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

My friend Joe said I should do a pie-centered week on NfP, and I’m all for pie. So this post starts PIE WEEK.

Anything goes Sundays:

I’m sure someone in economics can explain it if you need the background - and I’m not asking you to explain it to me - but I’ve never really understood why people who provide food, farmers, chefs, etc, aren’t higher in class systems. If they control the food, they should have the most power. With that in mind, I have a class system brewing in my head where the farmers are the ruling caste, but the bakers, chefs, etc are directly below. My main character is Sylvia, master pie baker, who is wealthy and respected, but she wants more. Her goal is to infiltrate the farmers, gain their trust, and rule from behind the tractor.

And she’ll bake anyone who gets in her way.
