I often serve crudites and dip as an appy. Yesterday I set something on a turned off unit and burned it. I might like a light to tell me when the top of the range is still hot. CONCERTINO is one of the solo instruments in a concerto grosso or a short concerto. I was thinking of CONCERTINA, a musical instrument of the accordion family. Last fill was the O in ConcertinO and rOses. My fifth graders read Odell's island of the Blue Dolphin. I was okay with BEARING CHERRIES, in the sense of carrying or holding on top. I thought of better call MAKO first, but it is better "GET" MAACO, car painting. I also read historical novels set in the Mediterranean so I knew BIREME, propelled by slaves who were chained to the ship and who went down if there was a wreck. I read detective and legal thrillers, so IN THE SHADOWS seems normal. I can't believe it's ten years old, can you? BTW, "Love Actually" is celebrating its 10 year anniversary and there are some very interesting articles and interviews with the director, cast members, etc. Old Man Winter is settling in for a long spell, it seems.īill G., I hope Barbara is feeling more comfortable. Very cold temps all week and more snow Thursday. I don't envy anyone who has to be on the road in the morning. It's sunny but very cold with 3-6" of snow coming tonight. (I'm embarrassed to say I almost filled in RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) before I came to my senses!)īravo, Jeffrey, for a very enjoyable, and end(ear)ing Sunday stumper and Brava, CC, for the chatty and cheery (not cherry) commentary. Nice CSO to Spitz, Splynter and Moi with RPI. How neat, eh Tin? As CC pointed out, great cluing and fill added lots of pizazz to this challenging effort by JW. Not to say it was a walk in the park! It took awhile to catch the theme but it occurred at Dreary Martini which brought a smile and a thought of Tin, even though he drinks Scotch, which showed up later. He brought women home and had the audacity to make Lady Bird cook for them.įinally, a Sunday puzzle not spoiled by one bad square as was the case the past two weeks. LBJ- a bigger womanizer than either Clinton or Trump ever hoped to be. The bar is two blocks from the Museum and I had never heard of it. She said that the RUSTY NAIL bar was down the street. The bartender gave me a strange look and questioned me about my drink. Totally unGERMANE to the puzzle but a couple of years ago we were eating at the restaurant of the World War II museum ( 50 cent pulled pork sliders during happy hour) and I ordered a RUSTY NAIL. CONCERTINO was another new word for me as I initially filled INA but the ROSES changed that. I had filled RUDITES but knew it wouldn't start with 'E'. But I still had to grind this one out due to multiple unknowns- MARIA, AKRON, ODELL,CARO, UOMO,ANA, EMI, Better call SAUL- and the never heard or seen before vegetable tray CRUDITES. Or would VERDI, as a fish, an AQUARIA compose?Ī clever theme today that I caught 'ear'ly. Pledged to keep SECRET stuff he could disclose. It's a SHAME that SAUL is stuck in the SHADOWS I'm really smelling ROSES, inside my brain! People look at me, and think I'm IN PAIN. Sometimes when it's DREARY, I SITS IN the rain. *poems are not necessarily autobiographical.Īnd broke Benny back to a PROLE or a peon!īut the ACE of them all was the chips bag from Lay's!
