Boost Your Crossword Skills: Solving Augments in a Clever Way!

Once upon a time, there was a chef named Max who loved to cook and experiment with new recipes. He was always looking for ways to enhance the flavors of his dishes and make them even more delicious.

One day, Max was cooking a special lamb curry for his restaurant and he realized that the curry was a bit too spicy. He needed to find a way to mellow the spiciness down so that it was more balanced and easier to eat.

After some brainstorming, Max came up with a great idea. He decided to add some yogurt to the curry, which would not only make it less spicy but also give it a creamy texture. But there was a problem. The curry was already cooked and mixing it with yogurt would make it too thin.

That’s when Max had a stroke of genius. He decided to use pads, like those used by athletes, to thicken the curry. He stirred in the pads and slowly but surely, the curry became more balanced, creamy, and less spicy.

From then on, whenever Max needed to augment a dish with an ingredient that could both mellow and thicken it, he used pads. And that’s how the answer to the crossword clue, ‘Augments, in a way’ became ‘PADS’!
