Cue the trumpets! After five Teeny Tuesdays in a row, it’s the grand return of a 15x crossword! That’s right, life is finally starting to settle back down after what feels like an eternity of chaos. While I still haven’t found the time to tune into Twitch to watch all the fabulous crossword solvers, I finally had a combination of inspiration, motivation, and time to make this new puzzle. I hope that getting the rust out of my cluing skills these last few weeks was good enough, since there’s 70 words for you to solve.
In-between making crosswords and other shenanigans, I have recently started ramping up my fall production of canning. To kick things off, I have in the last week made pickled jalapenos, rhubarb and cranberry jam, and a Chipotle Cilantro Barbecue sauce that uses the jam. As the weather starts to cool, I’ll be focusing more on autumn-esque foods such as apples, peppers, squashes, and maybe some pumpkin pie filling. Don’t be surprised if my adventures to the farmers market inspire some seed words in future crosswords.
