Thanks for the fun grid. My personal favorite was 27a. I actually had it with the definition, but then couldn't figure out the wordplay. It wasn't until I realized guarded was serving as the hidden indicator that I saw it hidden. 16d was fun too. Again, I had it with the def and checking letters, but seeing that the anagrind made the &lit was fun. I'm going to have to call out 4d though! I don't think donut is a homophone of doughnut. It's just a different spelling, right?

Great to see you back Cricket! This is a very rich crossword thematically with a lovely nina. Happy to see you playing around with the different devices- the way to knowledge is experiment, as Blake said. Maybe not always in the 8 zone, but hey. I thought the particularly good clues were 5a, 36a, 4d (donut ok by me!) 8d, 9d and 31d, with others coming close. More thoughts below…

Thanks Cricket. Lots to like in there with 23a, 36a, 8d, 9d and 31d being my top picks. I'm not sure abut 20a though. 'CHO' in 'choice' reverses to 'OHC' not OCH.
