Thom Sanders & Greedy Witch

Once upon a time ... there lived a Halfling named Thom A Sanders. Thom loved two things more than anything in the world.. like all Halflings he loved food eating, cooking, experimenting, you name it, he loved it. He also had a love of a strange and violent sport called Fantasy Football. Thom was never brave enough to play the game it must be said, but so passionate was he about the sport than he joined the Iron Chefs team as head chef, and later as the head coach, and he led them in many successful, and a few unsuccessful campaigns.

All this time, the fame of Thom grew. Whether it was his aggressive play-calling or his mouth-watering recipes it did not seem to matter. Thom always gave everything his full effort and the resulting fame was well deserved. The expertise of Thom was soon sought out by a spiteful, nasty old lady who surrounded herself with lickspittle lawyers and shallow sycophants. Her real name was unknown, though she was often called the Greedy Witch by those lucky enough to have mercifully escaped her clutches!

The Greedy Witch asked Thom to give her all his recipes for something which would be called the Lil Recipe Book, or LRB. Thom so loved to cook and so wanted to share his knowledge that he gladly, and some might say naively, accepted. He enthusiastically set to work on the book for the Greedy Witch. He worked for her for hours, days, weeks, months and eventually even years! The Greedy Witch never said thank you, or well done, she just kept publishing the hard work of Thom and claiming all the credit for herself, even though she did not really care at all about what was in there, as long as people kept buying it!

Thom had finally completed the sixth compilation of his best recipes when the Greedy Witch threw Thom out of her castle and refused to ever speak to him again. She published the book without many of best recipes of Thom, and did not even so much as give him a mention in the text!

Thom refused to cower as so many others had done though. Despite being just a lowly Halfling he vowed revenge on the old crone. She sent her despicable lawyers, Ceez and D. Cyst, to threaten him, but he chased them off with little more than his steely gaze. Thom modified his recipes to have even more flavor and be able to be made in half the time and published them under his own name thereafter, and while these new recipes are not as famous now as the ones Thom still speaks fondly of that are found in the LRB6, they were much, much better!
