Pretty much no subpar fill, no trivia that couldn’t be derived from the crosses, and an elegant theme that gave me a chuckle at the end! (chef’s kiss)
Heartwarming to see my two greatest sources of comfort in life - Indigo Girls and the crossword puzzle - in the same place! Now if only there were an entire Indigo-Girls-lyrics-themed puzzle some day, I’m SURE someone besides myself would love it, too, right? Right?
@Francis “Golf” is the NATO alphabet code word for the letter “G”, and gazpacho is a dish, or course, beginning with G, hence a “Golf Course”
GETTING YOUR GOAT for raising kids? Thanks for the explanation, but I was pretty sure it referred to the Greatest Of All Time - that’s who my kids are to me!
@Striker “Rap” had me for a while too! Definitely a 2/4 tune in most cases! And “posee” certainly sounds like it could be modeling lingo, since “posing” is something models do… ah well.
Cute theme, breezy solve, almost no filler (“two after cue” sticking out only because the rest was so good). Great start to the day!
Okay, who else thought that the “Up” referenced was Russ Meyer’s softcore cult classic from 1976?
@DrLisa Cool that you point that out! I didn’t notice it! (And neither did Caitlyn, apparently, or chose not to mention it in the column!)
Far be it from me to be that guy, but aren’t PEAS technically legumes, not vegetables?
