      Very fun! Was slightly confused about 32A's first vowel, but I got there.

        Apologies, that clue was an old one. I've fixed it now. Feel free to subtract 30 seconds from your time!

        Nice! I know most of The Babe's nicknames from repeat viewings of The Sandlot when I was a kid. 😂
        Should 8A say "See 7A"? Also you might consider changing the clue for DOLCE. I think it's dulce de leche.

          Oops! The entry changed but my cluing did not. Thanks Emma!
