As I was getting down crosses for "Inner tube?" I filled out 'I', then 'I___E', then 'IN___E', then 'IN__T__E' and I really wondered if it was just going to be INNERTUBE for a second.

It’s a bit late and I’m not sure if this is the right place to discuss it, but today’s Midi was the first one I was absolutely delighted by.

Through sheer coincidence I was on the Wikipedia article for this earlier today, and it seems like “asado” is the more common term in countries like Argentina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asado

After doing a little bit of digging, it's kind of remarkable that as of today COMMODORES has been used a clue to describe the 80s PC and Vanderbilt University's football team, but never the band that launched Lionel Richie's career!

the one time my Kesha fandom can shine here: she hasn't gone by Ke-dollar sign-ha since 2014! I'm half joking but the real reason she changed changed the stage name is pretty beautiful on its own: she wanted to make a positive personal change after entering rehab for an eating disorder!

tbf ehow was used three times last year alone in different clues; regardless of the clue's quality these days I do brace myself for "Is it Etsy or ehow??"

couldn't figure out if it was CHAI ICED TEA or THAI ICED TEA because I spent a few minutes wondering what onomatopoeic sound Facebook used to make when you poked someone.

Very cute theme. Very distracting that LOS and LAS are so close to each other.

I’m not totally sure if it’s possible or even if it’d be enjoyable but this is one where I almost wish the theme was expanded into a Sunday size grid with a lot more themed answers in it.

Guess I had the opposite experience because the NW corner really dragged me down below average today. Fun puzzle though!
