    The theme entries were delightful (especially 38A) — can never have too many puns! (I felt like 66A was a tiny bit off as FORMULA is liquid and the clue says food… but I can’t think of how to fix it.) 10D was a clever clue that I was just near but ultimately took me a while. 52A was also quite clever. I think 6D is mismatched (singular/plural). I didn’t understand 11D.

      Thanks, @Sendhil. You're right about 6D; I fixed that. AOR in 11D=Album Oriented Rock. Crummy fill!
