Order up. Strike 3.

Whaddaya MEAN the 5th dessert special is STILL not out??

Sorry, Kid. Each dessert is getting harder to make than the previous. ...And yes, we HAVE been putting efforts into formulating the recipes right.

Ok, I see what you mean... Everyone knows that the PLAN is the single hardest thing to come up with. But I'm getting kinda restless! I thought the plan was to get a new dessert out every WEEK, not every 2 or 3 weeks!

My apologies, sweetie. I thought so too. But this means the chef and I are close! ...As the experts say, the last several steps are the hardest to take! We may not have our next recipes set in stone, but we now know how many recipes we have left!

Really? How many dessert recipes are left?

Seven. This means we will have 11 desserts for this year in all. ...Or 12, depending on how things go. And they're all coming together, just like a zodiac. I tell you, it's all going full circle.

Wow! That sounds exciting! I'm glad that it's gonna be a big grand finale this year! Usually, there's no more than 7 annual dessert specials, but 11 or 12! WOOHOO! ...Wait, how DO you know there are this many dessert specials? ...Do you mean that you're struggling with this upcoming dessert recipe, but you've already planned out the rest of the other final recipes?!

Exactly!... THIS particular special is like the pithole in the road that trips you up. But we're bound to be back on the road with getting the other 6 desserts out every week once this tough one is done. ...No guarantees, though. But that's our deduction.

Alright, then! In that case, I'll get outta yer hair and leave you and your chef to those plans. Good luck on all the sweet secret recipes!
