The poem Home-Baked Bread by Sally Croft is a deceiving story. The surface will make the reader believe that this a simple innocent homey story about baking bread. The narrator gives a seductive inviting tone to the story about making and getting her guest to share the bread’s goodness with her and possibly seducing her guest as well. The poem is about a woman who wants to have the same “great triumph” as her great aunt in some ways not about baking. The poem opens with a quote from The Joy…

Last spring my organic seed supplier had a special on pie pumpkin seeds. Naturally, I decided to grow pie pumpkins for the first year ever. The five vines I planted produced over 100 pounds of pie pumpkins. This left me with a problem: I can only eat so many pumpkin pies. I can only give my neighbors and friends so many pumpkin pies.

Known as “Hans”, he created the concept of the gummy bear in 1922. He shipped the gummy bear to America in 1981 from Bonn, Germany. That idea was later developed into gummy worms by William Mederer.

Discoveries have been made all around the world by many people for a long time. I believe that mistakes are a key part of discoveries.
