Note from C.C.:
Kazie and her husband Barry traveled to China last month. They visited all the top traveling stops in China, including my hometown Xi'an. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (3rd picture here) is not far from my own home.
Kay said:
"Our general direction was from Beijing to Xi'an, to Guilin, to Shanghai. Also, I need to say everything there was fascinating--such a
learning experience for us both. We were in a small group of only 17
people until Shanghai, when there were only 6 of us. The others stayed
behind to cruise the Yangtze for several days, the week before the
terrible sinking of another boat similar to the one they took!
All in all, I would recommend this trip to anyone! Incidentally, our
national guide was also from Xi'an, probably about your age, very nice,
and extremely good at explaining everything."
Here are a few pictures. Please click here for more.

Morning, all!
ReplyDeleteThis started out as a speed run, but I hit a speed bump in the NE with BREDA, LAGRANGE, TOM LANDRY, AVALON and SPEARGUN -- all either unknown or initially ungettable from the clues alone. I abandoned that section entirely and worked on the rest of the puzzle, which went back to being a speed run. When I finally returned to the NE, I let the perps work their magic and was able to guess at BREDA and AVALON (TOM LANDRY, SPEARGUN and LAGRANGE were at least things I've heard of).
I figured out the theme halfway through, which helped a bit with the nutty answers. Didn't help at all with the longer answers containing the MIXED NUTS, but that was OK since the cluing on those was straightforward enough.
Fishing wasn't so great yesterday -- just caught a bunch of small sunfish (or "blue gills"). Still, a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work as they say. Gonna try a new spot today that somebody told me about yesterday...
As always it is fun to travel vicariously with Kazie through her pictures. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI do not get the double reveal and as Barry said knowing the nut which had its letters shuffled did not help solve at all. Seemed easy but except for BREDA I had no unknowns.
Thanks RELM and marti
There were circles? Well, I didn't need them anyway. I would have, tho, if I hadn't had the 3 "icing on the cake" clues. I wonder if all the anagrams starting from the second letter in the targets made the construction easier or more difficult.
ReplyDeleteIs there a word for situations like ORZO & OREO showing up in the same puzzle? Bar freebie crossing Restaurant freebie. 3d I wanted DINES, until it showed up at 45a.
I was for a time an active member of the L5 Society, where the L stands for LAGRANGE. (Since I can't preview audio files, the words are here.)
Good Morning, Marti and friends. Fun (and a bit easier) Thursday puzzle.
ReplyDeleteSalvador DALI is one of my favorite artists. I was recently in NYC and saw the Persistence of Memory at the MoMA. I was surprised at how small the painting is in "real life."
Hand up for Yale before PENN. Unlike Marti, I hadn't yet filled in TOP for the P.
Joseph-Louis LAGRANGE (né Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia, 1736 ~ 1813), was an Italian Enlightenment Era mathematician of French and Italian ancestry.
BRYAN Cranston was also the father in Malcolm in the Middle and the zany dentist on Seinfeld.
Nice photos, Kazie. Looks like you had a great trip.
QOD: In Hollywood, “under development” means “all I have is the title.” ~ Roger Ebert (June 18, 1942 ~ Apr. 4, 2013)
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteDines before DOWNS was my only hiccup this morning. The puzzle looked daunting, but came together quickly. Nice shoutout to the Chairman.
BAMA was a gimme, but only because of the submarine movie with Gene Hackman. LAGRANGE was also a gimme -- the orbital Lagrange points are named for him, and they were plot elements in 2010, the sequel to 2001, A Space Odyssey.
The entire run of Frazier is available on Netflix. We're slowly working our way through the series.
Barry, I remember sunfish and bluegills from the fishing days of my ute. They weren't the same fish, though.
Kazie, looks like you had a great time in China. Nice pics.
All bluegills are sunfish but not all sunfish are bluegills.
ReplyDeleteGood morning all, and thank you for posting the pictures, C.C.!
ReplyDeleteThanks too for the nice comments on them. We did indeed have a great trip. So much to learn, so different from either our expectations or previous experiences traveling in Europe and the Antipodes.
I think my solve was similar to Barry G.'s this morning. But the whole mideast was pretty much WAGS for me, and I guessed WAYAN instead of BRYAN, which made a mess of OREM, MOE and BOLDEST (I had WILDEST). I did suss the theme early, and that helped affirm a few other guesses farther down. Still not too bad considering the past couple of Thursdays.
"Puzzling Thoughts":
ReplyDeleteHad RIOT b4 HOOT and misspelled LECTERN (Lecturn) but those were the only glitches. Otherwise it was a clean, fun and speedy solve. Obviously I liked 45a! ;^)
I wonder if Frasier's brother is from NE Illinois?
A young carpenter living in NILES,

I have fished for Brim in Florida, and I guess they are the same thing. I am not an expert at all.
ReplyDeleteMorning, all.
ReplyDeleteI liked this puzzle. I got the theme and nut varieties first. Then I was able to pull Tom Landry out of the back of my brain, which unlocked the NE.
Great photos, Kazie. What an awesome trip! Marti, I am definitely trying that shrimp and orzo dish. Maybe with chèvre instead of feta or Gorgonzola.
I have had some weird google issue for a long time, but think I finally have it figured out. So, I have been here lurking all along, but maybe now will be able to comment.
Fun puzzle, I managed in good time for me for a Thursday puzzle. No circles for me either, managed w/o them. I, too, had "DINES" for 3d first. A few other stumbles, needed perps for a few answers, cheated once with Google for "AVALON", but with only one cheat, still give myself a passing mark for the day. Nice limerick, Owen, as usual. Terrific write up, too, as usual, thanks for the effort, Marti!
ReplyDeleteI see that General Robert E. Lee Morris listed he RANK and gave us a MEDAL right off the bat. I had some initial trouble starting this one. The NW's only fills were HARPO and ELENA. With SPEAR GUN, MANIC, and DOWNS being among my last fills. I kept wanting some type of rod, lure, or reel, thought CRAZY for Manic, AWARD for MEDAL, and DINES for downs. The two that really saved me were the GIMME long answers, SPACE NEEDLE and that good old Cajun coach of the Cowboys, TOM LANDRY.
ReplyDeleteThe Fox NEWS CHANNEL would have never gotten off the ground if the ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN weren't so liberally biased. That's why I never watch any of them. All of them try to manufacture the news instead of reporting what has actually happened.
This puzzle had some many unknowns that were filled strictly by perps- LAGRANGE, BRYAN, AVALON, BREDA, VANESSA, DALI, NILES, LEX. As for the 1976 decathlon champion, I am sick of hearing about all the stupid publicity.
So fellow SOLVERS, I was reading this morning that the Treasury Dept. announced that later this year that the ten dollar bill will add a woman's picture but keep Alexander Hamilton.
I nominate CAITLYN JENNER.
OwenKL and unclefred, sorry for any confusion. There were no circles in this puzzle. I only added those to the grid to make it easier to see the position of the MIXED NUTS.
ReplyDeleteKazie, wonderful pictures of your China trip. That is one area of the world I have never explored, so it is a vicarious thrill to visit through you!
Welcome back, Andrea. It has been a very long time. Are you still in touch with the elderly couple who lived near you. The wife used to post occasionally.
ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks, REL for a great puzzle. Easy for a Thursday, but nicely varied, ODDER fill. Knew AVALON, since circumnavigating Santa Catalina Island mucho times back in 1958 on an LST. BREDA and LAGRANGE came after a couple perps. And remembered LANDRY because of his hat. Mixing in the nuts was clever, but I didn't appreciate the full uniqueness until reading Marti's intro.
Liked the DOWNS cluing. Had Hardy before HARPO, but no harm done.
Great pictures, Kazie; thanks for sharing.
Pretty much a speed run, but didn't see the nuts revealed in the long answers. Thank you Marti for explaining!
ReplyDeleteThanks to RELM for a fine puzzle!
Good Morning:
ReplyDeleteThis was a delightful offering with a very clever theme and execution. I, like others, had dines/downs, riot/hoot, also res/lex, bravest/boldest, tbeam/truss, and I also spelled lectern incorrectly. But, in the end, all fell into place for the tada. Nice CSO to our Moe. Wonder if Tin filled in the dreaded _ _ _ water?
Thanks, Mr. Morris, for a Thursday treat and thanks, Marti for the sparkling review. Wonderful pictures, Kazie. That must have been a trip of a lifetime.
I had a very enjoyable evening with my dear friend last night, catching up and reminiscing about the good old days. We went to one of my favorite Italian restaurants and in homage to Steve's review yesterday, I ordered the Veal Marsala. Well, apparently, someone in the kitchen decided to ward off all of the vampires in the area by saturating the sauce with garlic. Ugh! On a more pleasant note, my sister, Eileen, her daughter, and daughter's father-in-law came in later and sat right across from us. What a surprise and coincidence.
Have a great day
Marti: Outstanding write-up & links.
ReplyDeleteRobert E. Lee Morris: Thank You for a FUN Thursday level puzzle with a great theme.
Kazie: Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Fave today (of course it wasn't "- - - Water") was 37-d, Broadway flier, for PETER PAN.
And the CSO to our MOE.
Needed ESP (Every Single Perp) to get BREDA & LAGRANGE ... but that is expected later in the week.
A "Toast to ALL" at Sunset.
Cheers!
Excellent! I really enjoyed this puzzle!
ReplyDeleteMy only quandary is why it was not published on Quirky Friday...
Mixed nuts, hmm, what to link? (I may have to think about this...)
One thing that is bothering me, there used to be a YouTube of Harpos' retirement speech.
It was shocking, & yet poignant, & I can't find it anywhere.
While I am still looking: In the meantime...
Well, it's not a video of Harpo but here's his son, Bill, talking about his father's final performance.
ReplyDeleteHello, friends!
ReplyDeleteWell done, RELM and Marti! Circles? No circles in my newspaper.
I ALIT on Mr. Morris's wave length and just sashayed right through the grid. With TO... and ...RY in place, TOM LANDRY jumped out. I remember him! And I enjoyed the MIXED NUTS scattered throughout but didn't look for the hidden ones.
Hmmm. ODDER next to NILES? I expect so.
The unknowns, BREDA and LAGRANGE were easily completed with perps.
BigEasy:
I'm afraid your nominee for the $10 would not be acceptable. It must be a dead person.
STEER and TERSE are anagrams of each other. Cute!
Wonderful pictures, Kazie, thank you for sharing.
Have yourselves a great Thursday, everyone!
What a thrill to have a Thursday puzzle that was almost a speed run. Yay--many thanks Robert E. Lee! And Marti, thanks for the circled MIXED nuts. I got the CASHEW, PECAN, and ALMOND, but not their mixed version in the longer clues. Very clever puzzle!
ReplyDeleteFun limericks this morning, Moe and Owen.
Have a great day, everybody!
Good Morning--almost Afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWEES at this point. Fun Thursday run Robert. Thanks for the guidance Marti--and the recipe!!
Enjoy the rest of the day.
No circles in my puzzle either, but I really didn't miss or need them.
ReplyDeleteSeemed easy for a Thursday especially compared to last week. But I'll not complain a bit, it is nice to blow through it once in a while with no mark overs at all. Maybe I should have it framed.
I'll bet tomorrow will make up for it, if not there's always Saturday.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robert and Marti!
Sped through this one, a Thursday miracle.
Woke up very early. Had dentist appt. Ugh. Can't keep eyes open!
Cheers!
That's "have dentist appt."
ReplyDeleteHahtoolah,
ReplyDeleteYou're thinking of Dot and Irving. I tried emailing them about a year ago and never heard back. C.C. had also not heard from them up to that time either, so I'm afraid they may not be doing well.
Andrea,
Do you know anything more recent?
Marti,
This was our first foray into the Asian continent too. It makes us thirsty for more!
A good Thursday puzzle.
ReplyDeleteHad no problem with the theme at all. The east side had my unknowns, TOMLANDRY, LAGRANGE, AVALON, BREDA. This caused my DNF. Otherwise all else was filled in.
Speaking of the nut theme. I used to love eating pistachios when the shells were dyed red. What a mess, but that was half the fun. Now it's just boring.
I am also tired of all this Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner play by play. Please explain to me why we should care? I have nothing against him/her, but enough!
Beautiful pictures Kazie. Wonderful memories, for sure.
Just one last comment from yesterday's favorite chef discussion. How I forgot about Alton Brown and "Cutthroat Kitchen"is beyond me. That show is nefariously entertaining. And he IS a fabulous, knowledgeable chef. My apologies to his fans.
Another week is slowly(?) coming to an end. Half the year gone by. As you get older, time takes on a new meaning. There's more behind than ahead. So make the most of every minute. There are no do-overs.
Have a lovely day folks.
Thanks for the write-up, Marti!
ReplyDeleteTropical Storm Bill kept me an extra night in Dallas, so it was an early start for me to get back to LA this morning *yawn*
Here's the secret recipe for "Hidden Valley"-style ranch dressing from yesterday:
1/2 cup buttermilk powder (it's in the baking aisle)
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Give it a good mix, then make up into the dressing how you normally would using the real stuff. Each sachet of the real stuff weighs about an ounce, so you can see how much more you're getting for your money with this recipe. Make it a little ahead of time so the onion flakes can rehydrate.
I make a fat-free version using 1 cup 0% fat Greek Yoghurt (I use Fage) and 1/2 cup skimmed milk with the quantity of mixture shown above. You can vary the richness by substituting half-and-half for the skim, or using 2% Fat yoghurt or sour cream if you prefer. I sometimes make a spicy batch by adding a couple of turns of ground ghost chili powder or a good-sized pinch of cayenne.
A really enjoyable puzzle and, as always, an interesting write-up from our divine Miss M. The puzzle was right in my wheelhouse for challenging but doable. Had BRAVEST before BOLDEST.
ReplyDeleteHmm...woman on the $10 bill? Susan B. Anthony already had her turn, Betsy Ross, Eleanor...needs to be someone that made a difference...how about Rosa Parks?
Nice pics, Kazie. The Far East is full of surprises, not all good. I've lived in Japan and Taiwan and visited Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. Never been to China (except Macao) nor Korea. Don't travel much anymore, too tiring.
Several of the women being considered to be on the new $10 bill made one significant contribution. But Eleanor Roosevelt made many over a period of years. I got a greater appreciation for her watching the Ken Burns series about the Roosevelt's on PBS. She gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteLucina, watch out! Hot weather headed your way.
Typical marriage; wife gets the $10 bill and husband gets the dime!
ReplyDeleteThe SPACE NEEDLE is located about 40 miles north of Chambers Bay Golf Course, the sight of this weekends U.S. Open. In other puzzle connections, Fox has broadcast rights this year. although the NEWS CHANNEL will not be involved, Fox Sports One is airing coverage from 12p-8p and Fox will continue from 8p-11p! Very interesting to see a train rolling by just feet from the course and the unusual(for a golf course) topography. It took a vivid imagination for the architect to view this piece of land, an old gravel quarry, and see a golf course. These pros must have ICE WATER flowing through their veins to find the nerve to attempt such unorthodox shots. Only the BOLDEST decisions will be rewarded. Maybe the most at EASE will WIN on Sunday. Could it be ANGEL Cabrera(currently +1). Still waiting to see if Tiger will TANK.
ReplyDeleteHi gang -
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the puzzle. Clever and original.
No speed runs for me these days.
Mom is still hanging on. She's made of pretty stern stuff.
Cool regards,
JzB
Enjoyed this puzzle. I don't care that much for mixed up words, but I liked seeing the actual nuts with the letters in the right order and the theme tie-in. Thank you REL and Marti.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the recipe for ranch dressing Steve. We go through a boat load of it (well maybe a dinghy....at least a kayak) and I'm anxious to give that a try.
Did someone say Tiger in your TANK?
ReplyDeleteBarry, I remember sunfish and bluegills from the fishing days of my ute. They weren't the same fish, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mr. Google said. Perhaps this will help:
Sunfish
Caught many more sunfish today at the new spot, btw. Plus one nice yellow perch that is currently swimming around in a buck in the kitchen sink...
ReplyDeleteNo, I said Tiger in MY TANK!
ReplyDeleteDelightful puzzle and a slam dunk today. Circles?
ReplyDeleteBig Easy @ 8:42 AM: Did not know my hero, Tom Landry, was a cajun, so I did a bit of research and found so little on that subject that now I am questioning whether he actually had cajun or Arcadian lineage? Maybe you have more info you can share.
Barry G, leave some fish for others.
Fox is a NEWSCHANNEL? Since they've stated that their purpose is not news, I have to take them at their word. No politics here.
Fun puzzle today; well-built theme. It went smoothly; I guess today I feel/felt like a nut.
ReplyDeleteKazie, terrific photos; thanks for sharing.
Does a perch perch on a perch?
Jayce, I'm not sure where a perch would perch, but they probably have the worst identity crisis among the aquatic species. Yellow Perch are true Perch, yet different in the Western Hemisphere from that of the same name in Europe. White Perch are actually a Bass. And Walleyed Pike are a Perch, not a Pike. But they sure are tasty.
ReplyDeleteSteve, please believe that I am only trying to validate your recipe, not steal your thunder. That looks so much like the original recipe that I have used for years, that I went back to the old circa 1970's cookbook to double check, and lo and behold, it wasn't there. Now I don't know where I originally got it. The only difference that I can remember is using onion powder rather than dried minced onions. Over the years I have modified the recipe to accommodate my family's tastes, replacing some of the parsley with more dill, and upping the garlic. In any version it is great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi all!
ReplyDeleteLate to the party for this nutty puzzle. Thanks to RELM for the puzzle (very nice) and to Marti for the wonderful write-up. Oh, and to Steve for posting ranch dressing mix.
Thank goodness I caught the theme at 24a, though, like MOE, I had LECTuRN too and HAWK helped change the u to an E (we all know there's no triple-U :-)).
ESP - 11d (w/ 1 WAG xing 26a). The SW was a WAG-fest, but all ended well.
Fav - 65 c/a pair. Unfortunately, for you, I won't be TERSE tonight.
Coneyro - gotta agree re: JENNER. Good for him/her - I don't care a DAB.
KayUUJay @ 2:37p - LOL! Pop liked it too.
Welcome back Kazie, very nice pics.
This AM I went fishing w/ pop, uncle, & youngest. Youngest caught more fish than the rest of us combined. Lots of blue gill, perch, and 2 bass. Pop and I where hitting on baby catfish. The whole exercise was catch and release. The rains came in so we went to uncle's garage to have a few (more) beers (soda for youngest...). For dinner, we went to my sister & BIL's tavern - I had a fantastic Phillysteak horseshoe.* Great last day in SPI.
I knew 28a with just the L__G. I wonder if Euler knew of his contemporary's Chicken Ranch in LA GRANGE, TX :-)
Cheers, -T
*wiki doesn't do it justice. It's two slices of TX toast (we just call it toast in HOU), topped with meat, topped w/ crinkle-fries, topped w/ the house's special cheese sauce - every pub here has their own secret-cheese-sauce concoction.
Found it! I thought it was on Food Network but it was The Travel CHANNEL - D'Arcy's Horse Shoe. I had the "Big Easy" Sat w/ andouille sausage, chicken, and spicy cheese. D'Arcy's has the best shoes in town. My Sis's pub has darn good one's too. C, -T
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! The things I learn on this blog. I'd never heard of a "horseshoe"; how common is that?
ReplyDeleteI'll read your answer tomorrow. Thanks.
Lucina - It's only in SPI. I don't know why 'cuz its so yummy you'd think w/ today's communications it would spread. But nope, just here like Mel-O-Cream doughnuts. My Sis is bringing me a Honeymooner (Fav!) before we leave in the AM. Cheers, -T
