Redemption of The Bad Pastry Chef

There are plenty of scientists investigating the questions about our planets changing surface. There are Geologists digging for answers about Earthquakes and Volcanoes while the Chemists figure out the formula for future success in managing everything from our outer atmosphere to our inner core. Then come the Biologists and Oceanographers followed by GPS surveyors and Google mappers to the point where the field is so crowded there is barely room left for another analyst from the Scientific perspective. But there is still room for the Crossover Consultant.

There are many examples of the Crossover Consultant making great discoveries by accident while in pursuit of an unrelated solution. Columbus found us before we even knew we were lost, the formula for vulcanizing rubber was from spilling the wrong ingredients and it is well known that penicillin was never the goal when it was first found.

So it turns out that any old Baker can offer vital assistance to those Scientists studying our planet. You might think that only the very best Baker could make this leap but in fact any Good Bakers would never make these discoveries because the genius is in making mistakes. In the end it is only a Bad Baker who can cut the mustard so to speak.

Have you ever opened the oven too soon while a cake is baking and then it “drops”? Well that same thing can happen on global scale leading to a giant earthquake as damaging as a large asteroid. Have you ever seen a pie crust rise too high leaving a large hollow that collapses when you start to cut the first piece? Well that same thing can happen to our plate tectonics with continental consequences. Who else but the Bad Pastry Chef can reveal these mysteries to those science guys?

The Steppes of the Far East? Stacks of pancakes. The Badlands of Montana? Peanut Brittle. The Louisiana Bayou? Chocolate Mouse. The Grand Tetons? Well, they can’t all be kitchen cliché’s.

Forget Hands Across America. All we need to do is get everyone to jump up and down at the junction of the Four Corner states and we can get a brand new Grand Canyon.
