May the 7th be with you! Yeah, that doesn't have quite have the same ring to it. It's been Star Wars mania this week with May 4th being Star Wars day. It should come as no surprise that the celebration influenced my clue writing for today's crossword and music selection. Below is a themed puzzle that is inspired by some of my recent cooking. It has been a rather chilly start to May here in Minnesota so I've needed to cook more chili.

Nice! Really cute theme. I do wonder about the matchiness on 15A - is that thing a soloist, or does a soloist use it? Dunno - either way, thanks!
Another fun one! Loved the clues for 46A, especially crossing the theme entry that it does--that really primed me for a misdirection. 61A was really nice too. And couldn't help but enjoy all the laughter that appeared in the lower grid. Great puzzle!
