Cryptic #34: A Dish Best Served Lukewarm

My Thirty-Fourth Crossword

No, it's not mashed potatoes. It's another GAIS crossword.

As 34 is not a multiple of 3, this crossword doesn't have a theme that requires you to change clues or answers. But it does have a gimmick which I think is very fun, and for which others will probably start to hate me.

Otherwise, I'm very proud of some of the clues here. They were a lot of fun to put together. And aside from the, erm, schtick, I don't think they're terribly difficult, as they have been in other recent grids.

Thank you to Jack Keynes for test-solving.

Next Friday is a special day, and in commemoration, I will have a crossword out on MyCrossword: the best grid I've ever written, according to Mental Playground, so watch that space.
 
Have fun!

Cryptic #37: How Time Flies

My Thirty-Seventh Crossword Hello.  Sorry for the lack of output - despite my best efforts, I still often face a lot of work. Anyway, this puzzle is dedicated to a few wonderful people, and one solid gold legend in particular, without whom I'd not be nearly as into cryptics as I am now, and I wouldn't know so many of the aforementioned wonderful people. To this community, and its founder in particular, thank you. (The bloke in question is based  here  and here .) Have fun! - GAIS, 12/11/22

  My Twenty-Fifth Crossword IT'S MY FIRST CROSSWORD ANNIVERSARY! To celebrate, here's a grid I've been sitting on for a while. Thank you, everyone, ever so much for all the solves. It means so much to me that what I've created is (hopefully) enriching others' lives.
