    i love making 23A whenever i don't eat my bananas fast enough which happens all too often... especially like adding chocolate chips to it too 🤤... i entered nine for NONE at first... they're such big names how did they never win one?! the color progression was nicely done and the fill was so clean and smooth!!

      I know, the list of names of amazing actors who have not won Oscars is surprising! And yes, I also make banana bread regularly, since my kids only like them when they're a little under-ripe.

          Lovely use of the lengths of the theme entries to structure the grid!

            Loved the green-to-brown progression, and the tie-in with banana bread. Well done!
