Today's OneWord: Overcooked

The meat was overcooked, the salad was limp, and to top it off, my stove wasn't working. My guests were supposed to be here in a half hour, and I was already considering ordering take-out.

My girlfriend tried to tell me it was all going to be okay, that supreme pizza would suffice. But these were her parents and two brothers that we were talking about here. I had wanted to impress them and wound up instead with singed skirt steak.
