Master Chef Kelly had left quickly…obviously in a hurry to reach the bathroom…Seeing an opportunity…Chef Francois boldly stuck his nose into Chef Kelly’s business…and then, as he realized he had gotten in over his head, he quickly raised his head…his nose still covered in the hot gooey caramel that had been bubbling in Chef Kelly’s pot…curious about this, Chefs Henri and Raymond also joined in…sticking their noses in where they didn’t belong…soon, all the Chefs had realized the obvious…Chef Kelly’s caramel needed more spice…and so, the three chefs began adding spices and merrily stirring them into Chef Kelly’s creamy caramel…Yes, the kitchen was buzzing…with flies that came to hover over the gooey mixture smeared all over the noses of all these cooks…Honestly, it was very hard for anyone to keep their nose clean that day. Not to mention the overcrowding in the small space as more and more chefs came in to join the fun. There were simply too many cooks in the kitchen…sticking their noses into Chef Kelly’s business. Then, just when the situation couldn’t get any stickier, Master Chef Kelly returned…“What is this? Everything around here is mixed up except the things that are supposed to be mixed up!” Chef Kelly raged as he hurled a plate against the wall. ”And look at yourselves…you’ve stuck your noses where they didn’t belong. Now you’re really going to have to put your noses to the grindstone to get all that caramel off…” Chef Kelly bellowed. The once merry chefs could only hang their heads in shame as the Master Chef made his rounds, inspecting the kitchen, yelling and stomping with rage…until reached one small kettle, forgotten in the corner…”Well, isn’t this a fine kettle of fish.” Kelly yelled as he took in the sight of yet another overheated situation…quickly coming to a boil…
