Ashore! I am (gladly) BLAming my family for my late arrival. I didn't notice puzzle-drop time because I was busy muCKing about in the kitchen making chex mix since the entire CRew (kids and grands) will be in town this weekend. Now to mAKE some cupcakes. And--maybe--finish the grid.

Well that was different! On shore. Really loved the shoutout to 24A.

On shore. I couldn't make any sense of it at first, but then, while taking a shower (of course!) it hit me. Very ingenious construction!

With Isaac and no clue how to proceed. Nice call out on 24A! 
Diet coke for now, sake later.

On shore - one of the rare times I guessed what the meta would be half-way through the grid.

On Naboo. Did somebody say well rounded?
And for more meta fun, try this MMM ... (Sorry, not sorry!)

Oof! Not one that worked for us - reasons - but got it in the end. Tonight, trying a Bywater cocktail, quite the flavor bomb… cheers, all!

Solo solve for me tonight! On shore waiting for my teammate to catch up since he had a later start.
