Four two-word alliterative phrases utilizing CR (the symbol for Chromium) are the main feature of this Monday back-to-work crossword -- CRUMB CRUST (17A. Graham cracker pie shell); CREEPY CRAWLY (26A. Spider or worm); CREDIT CRUNCH (44A. Lending crisis); CRAB CREOLE (58A. Cajun seafood dish). The hard-C, double-K sound, sans the R, continues with the entries of CACTI (1D. Prickly plants) and KUKLA (61A. Friend of Fran and Ollie) -- poor soft C is left with ICE (37A. Freezer cubes).
Food today, including the above Graham and Cajun stuff -- BANANA (52A. Fruit for a monkey); FAJITA (10D. Tex-Mex treat); RAW ONION (55A. Common burger topper); BERRY (18D. Fruit on a bush).
Hey, why not do the ICE CUBE C WALK on the way to work! Here’s how!
