I'll give an A- to MARCO (or are letter grades for 1A so 2017?), just because it seems fresh and Monday difficulty.<br /><br />I too had lard before SUET.

MAKENOSENSE is nice, and I agree with Frannie about BELEAGUERED and PIQUANT. I happily knew PTBOAT from the clue, but GAGSTER? That's no good. I believe that "Inside LLEWYN Davis" is on our queue.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-14927978624195739862018-01-01T15:52:18.227-05:002018-01-01T15:52:18.227-05:004:49
Nice to hear about the spice up to the blog. ...4:49<br />Nice to hear about the spice up to the blog. I'm sure it must be quite difficult to write these reviews for an entire month at a time, and stay fresh.<br /><br />I enjoyed the multitude of perspectives in today's post. I struggled a little today, but that's ok. In particular, the two hardest clues for me were each in the same relative spot in the grid - PALOMA and ATTHAT. I guess when you have an 11-letter answer next to two 7's along the edge of a Monday grid, it can be tough to connect that to the rest of the puzzle with real words.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what combinations of Horace, Frannie, and Colum await me on these pages in the coming year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
