Jared ambled over, and he and Agnes began to eat.

Agnes had prepared a sumptuous meal, including medium rare steak, pot roast, Caesar salad, and a bowl of clam chowder.

Jared tried a bit of everything, then said candidly, “The steak is a bit overcooked, I’ll deduct ten points. The pot roast is leaning on the saltier side, another ten off. The vegetables could be fresher so that’s twenty off. And it tastes like you forgot the salt in the clam chowder. That’s another ten off.”
