I agree with Horace about CHEFBOYARDEE. I loved ANNEALS (32A Touhens, as metal) and 76A Bugs, e.g. (BUNNY). I also liked seeing COSMO Kramer referenced, but I'll bet Horace and Frannie didn't.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-67489892845605159832015-09-20T22:02:08.707-04:002015-09-20T22:02:08.707-04:00Yeah...

Not that that would be any better. <br /><br />Pharrell's hat is kind of like a Canadian Mountie's hat, which I just learned is called a "Campaign hat" by Wikipedia. Huh.<br /><br />My favorite themer is CHEFBOYARDEE and his TOQUE. So unexpected!<br /><br />Interesting analysis of UNKEYED. And while we're geeking out, I'd like to call on Jaques Pepin, or any other authority, to chime in on the idea of CONSOMME being clued with "Something cooks put stock in." I would argue that a consommé is nothing more than a clarified stock, so "put stock in" doesn't really make sense.<br /><br />Anyway... we didn't love it. Too much crosswordese.
