75. We've Got Leftovers
PDF and PUZ
Crosshare
Ginger Cat slept all through the preparations. As long as she got her crunchies, she's fine!
---
We're a day early with a super-sized holiday meta for you! (But the deadline is the same, so you get a bonus day of solving time!) Special thanks to @oldjudge for valuable feedback - I'm thinking we're going to clock in at least at a Level 3 for this, but we could trend upward.
Larger meta means I have a larger grid option and clues in a slightly larger font on the PDF; these are for ease of solving and not meta-related.

75. We've Got Leftovers
The answer to the meta is a 9-letter phrase.
Deadline is Saturday, December 2 at 1 pm ET.
Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

Solved! Thanks for giving us a Friday meta! Perfect for today.

Thanks for the early release! I got it after a fellow muggle corrected my fill.

Thanks for a great post Thanksgiving treat!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

@Meg told me earlier there might be some issues. I played around with it, so hopefully, it's good now! Or maybe just try refreshing or using another browser as well.

Done like a dinner! (Is that a purely Australian phrase?)
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Submission seems to be working. But not solved.
(Got an idea for metanism if this isn't it...)
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

I think we're at 16 to start, which is a solid beginning. We're going to get a couple of nudges each day (if I remember) to show my thankfulness for all of you!
They start off vague and perhaps not that helpful, sorry, haha.
1.
2.
See you tomorrow!

Two more!

I'll be a bit more overt tomorrow. Worried we're in for a doozy with the MGWCC, but we'll see!

No further nudges needed, and the ones you gave were nice and vague and not spoilery. Thanks for providing this Sunday (and some Monday) diversion, especially in the absence of the MGWC!

Beg to differ (about the nudges, not the puzzle). Could definitely use a further nudge or two.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 3:48 pm No further nudges needed, and the ones you gave were nice and vague and not spoilery.

More nudges you request, more nudges you shall receive! Only 22 so far, so we might actually be at a 3.5 or so.MatthewL wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 4:52 pmBeg to differ (about the nudges, not the puzzle).

See if that helps scatter the cobwebs, as we all eagerly await tomorrow's MGWCC!

Finally got it, but needed virtually all of the nudges. Had the right idea, kinda, but was applying it badly. Thanks for the puzzle, Mikey!
