I don't get it...
You know how crosswords often have themes? I'm not going to tell you that I always get the theme before I start or even after I do one of the theme clues, because it usually takes two of them for me to see it, especially if they're bad puns.
But until now I haven't ever not been able to see the them after I've done the whole puzzle!!
The title is "Lighten Up". 17A: An example of Emeril's largesse? (free recipe) 27A: Lust for Gore? (al attraction) 49A: To whom a madam relates sin? (her confessor) 66A: Yakety-yak (and a hint to the starts of 17-, 27-, and 49-Across) (chew the fat)
I'm certain of the answers. But I just don't see how "chew the fat" is "a hint to the starts of" "free recipe", "Al attraction", and "her confessor".
Go ahead, I beg you: make me slap my forehead and say "Oh, of course..."
Please.

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->You have removed the word "fat" from "fat-free recipe", "fatal attraction", and "father confessor".
There. See? I knew somebody would know (and guessed it would be Barry) and I also knew that as soon as it was explained I'd say, "Oh, sheesh, of course!"
Thank you!
