Knowing BOBSLED (Olympics event in which Germany is the traditional powerhouse) and then guessing BARBIEDREAMHOUSE (Crib for a doll) off of it really started things off well today, but putting in Strewn for "Scattered" (SPARSE), slowed things right back down again. Heh. That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. You just have to LETITGO.
I had four siblings, but I never felt any SIBLINGRIVALRY (Fuel for a family feud). And isn't it funny how the diphthongs in "fuel" and "feud" are pronounced exactly the same but spelled differently?
Another thing about me is that I loved putting KARO syrup on my pancakes when I was little. The clear one. It just looked so cool. Also when I was little, we sat at a "kids table" during big holiday meals, and some grown-up would come around and fill up our water glasses. Or milk glasses... or whatever we were drinking. And for some reason, if one of us thought we might get skipped, we would call out "Magic pour-er-er." But it would sound more like "magic pour-euh-euh." And my sister and I and my cousin still say it to this day when we want a refill. Wow. That's the kind of thing that goes through my mind when I see POURER (Sommelier, e.g.) in the grid.
So that's my review. I really enjoyed this one.
