This week's challenge words: carpet, jury, pasta, shapeless, whey
Here's my entry:
The pasta provided as our evening meal -- and I'm using that term loosely -- is overcooked and watery. The alleged sauce is nothing more than a reddish liquid pooling like whey and threatening to swamp the paper plates as it drains from the mushy glop of lukewarm noodles. It's an unappetizing and shapeless mess. I'd just as soon skip it. My fellow jury members are tentatively digging in, hunger overcoming disgust for at least a few bites. The so-called chef should be called on the carpet. He's guilty of a greater crime than the defendant in our case.
