Themeless 54

◆◆ · By JeffsPuzzles · Published 2023-06-04T11:13:54.178Z

Constructor's Note
I had some fun with the basic math in the two seeds (19 and 49 Across), but my favorite clue is 31 Down. Throw in some Vietnamese food, a baker from Mayberry, Mariano Rivera, Superman, and Robert Frost and, I hope, you’ll find this an interesting and enjoyable, though challenging, solve.

    Nice! Think there's a formatting issue with 36D (at least in my browser)

      Same problem, I can't see the ":pinball" after the blank. Loved the seeds here!

        Thanks for pointing out the glitch - it didn't like my analogy, I guess. I rewrote the clue, so hopefully that will do the trick.
