Four days in a row?  Yup.  And when it’s all said and done, I will have worked SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW without a single day off!

 

Midnight Muse:  And in the meantime, enjoy our food!

Dark Muse:  Yes, enjoy it!  Tee hee!

Don’t mind if I do!

*tastes food*

Mmm…This is a delicious soup…But it’s different from the way you usually make it.

???: That’s because I made it.  And as far as those two are concerned, their culinary conquest has come to an end.  Really.  Taking over the world by controlling the world’s food supply and hypnotizing everyone?

Midnight Muse:  Traitor!  Reveal yourself!  You are a threat to our world order!

Dark Muse:  Stop it!  Tee hee!

Having tasted more of this soup, I now see you two for who you really are.  Tricksters that have blinded the whole world with your tantalizing cuisine!

???: And now, the whole world knows.  Behold, The Master Maker’s Table.  Now open in over 100,000 locations worldwide!

Midnight Muse:  Who are you?!

Culinary Master:  The Culinary Master!  That’s who!  And you have no class when it comes to REAL cuisine.  My 100,000 locations are all full and reservations are booked solid.  Food critics have spoken and my dishes are world class!  Michelin Stars are be awarded left and right.  And best of all, everything that they’re eating is freeing them from your spell.

Midnight Muse:  NO!  You’re ruining everything!

Culinary Master:  Wrong.  You have already tainted the recipe.  Give my food a try and you will see what REAL cuisine tastes like.

Midnight Muse:  Never!

Culinary Master:  Then I will have to use force!  Down the hatch!

*Culinary Master waves a spoon and a large hand forces a soup down Midnight Muse’s and Dark Muse’s throat*

Midnight Muse:  No…no…NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Dark Muse:  TEE HEE!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Muse:  Huh…Wha…What happened?

Twin Muse:  Did we do something…bad?

Culinary Master:  No. Some dark force overcame you, but the food I gave you set you free from all that.

Muse:  Nice.  What’s going to happen to all the restaurants?

Culinary Master:  They all go back to their original owners.  Everything is going back to normal.  Like it was all a bad dream.

Twin Muse:  A bad dream?

Culinary Master:  Yes.  But I am not done with you two.  If you two want to learn real cuisine, you will apprentice under me.  Yes, your more than 20 restaurants are all good, but they can be even better.  Remember.  Even the best is not truly the best.  There is always room to grow.

Muse:  Sweet!  Then our training begins!  Kyle, we’re going to learn some new things from the Culinary Master, okay?

Twin Muse:  Yes Kyle!  We have so much to learn!  See you later!

Culinary Master: (whispering):  Psst, Kyle.  You know who I am, right?  Consider yourself fortunate, as you have a very easy resolution to this story arc.  I can take it from here for the remainder of their cycle.  See you later!

Bye!

*Muse, Twin Muse, and Culinary Master vanish in a beam of light*

Thanks again, The Creator for stopping the schemes of The Adversary.  Time to take it easy before tomorrow.

Today’s high is going to be 77 degrees and the silver lining is having pizza tonight.

To those of you who love savory pizza, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Culinary Master:  Listen you two!  The perfect soup begins with the right temperature.  No overheating or you’ll burn it.  Let the flavors blend together and taste until you get the right result.

Muse: Got it!

Twin Muse:  Like this?  I need the right flavors!
