Imagine the Pastabilities (Summer Puzzle 7, with Dob Olino)

 New collab this week, and it's with Dob Olino of Crossweird fame! Dob's a great friend, and we've been meaning to do a second collab for awhile, so I'm glad we finally were able to put something together for this blog project! Fair warning, we got pretty silly with it, so expect this to be a bit goofier than some of the other summer puzzles, but I think it's pretty fun! Also thanks to the answer to 72-Down for their special guest clue on 72-Down.

Dob says:

"I've been enjoying Rose's Summer Puzzles a lot, which Momes and I have been solving on our Crossweird Twitch channel (definitely the last shameless plug). I am always genuinely honored when Rose wants to collab with me, which we did once before on a genuinely really good blog puzzle. When I thought of this silly idea, I immediately knew Rose would be into it and all the themers came together almost immediately. It's super dumb in the most super fun way and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for solving!"

In other A Crossword Rose news, for those of you who read last week's blog post/did last week's puzzle, please know that I finished watching the show, and now my soul has been shattered, life changed, etc. So take this as a strong endorsement to solve that puzzle and then watch the show (or just talk to me about it if you have watched it). The other Rose news is that I'll be traveling next weekend for Pride--going to try to get a puzzle up before then, but there's a small chance I'll be taking a week off.

You Would Have Done The Same (contest puzzle, with Alex Boisvert)

Today I have a puzzle for you. This puzzle is two very exciting things: a meta crossword and a collab with the wonderful Alex Boisvert of Crossword Nexus ! I always love working with Alex, and I love that he brought me this theme. As for the meta side of things, this is in fact a contest puzzle! You can submit your meta answer on Crosshare (so no puz file this time), and if you put in your email with the answer, that should enter you into the contest. (Please let me know if there are technical issues here, I haven't done this before.) For the long time followers of this blog, I know this is my first puzzle here in quite awhile--life got busy! As my semester winds down, I'm hoping to start posting here much more, so stay tuned! Crosshare

Training Montage (with Amy Giacomucci)

Hello, friends! It's been a bit since I've posted a puzzle here (or... anywhere else), because in the past two months, I have both moved to Boston and started a new job, which has left me with very little crossword time. But even when I am not doing crossword stuff, the rest of the world is. In particular, the Midwest Crossword Tournament is happening this weekend in the beautiful city of Chicago, a city that is near and dear to my heart. I won't be there in person on account of not living in Chicago and having a busy job, but I will be playing along online, and I believe sign ups are still open for the online tournament. In honor of the tournament, I figured this would be a good time to release a Chicago-themed puzzle. And to make this more legitimate, I enlisted the help of my friend and current Chicago resident Amy! We started with a pretty straightforward theme, but as is the way when Amy and I make a blog puzzle, we got a little silly with it, especially on the cluing...

Mini 4 (hurry up, it's time for slumber)

Image
Yum, bubble wrap! Happy summer! It's been a crazy one over here: been traveling a ton, somehow won a trophy at Westwords, and now frantically apartment hunting before school starts. (If anyone knows anything useful about Boston, hit me up.) As for this puzzle, it's just a 7x mini, based on an "apt pair" theme that I thought was cute. (Honestly, I love these types of minithemes, I just have trouble coming up with them!) As for other crossword stuff, I had last Monday's Puzzmo (so go do it if you're a subscriber and haven't yet!), and last month, I had a fun collab with Will Eisenberg on his blog . Other than that, not much going on with me crossword-wise. I'd love to have more puzzles here, but my life never does seem to calm down. Thank you to my friend Amy for test solving and also for the very good title! No puz file this time because there's one (1) emoji in the clues, but you should be able to download a puz directly from the Crosshare applet. ...
