Clue/Question:  The chef who wouldn’t try food prepared by other chefs was – – –

Answer:  FULL OF HIMSELF

(A good stinky pun!  When I was a teenager I liked to bake, so I could be full of myself!  Usually chocolate chip cookies, but sometimes brownies, or chocolate mayonnaise cake.  When I first heard of chocolate mayonnaise cake, I thought:  Gross!  Why would anyone put mayonnaise in a cake???  But as it turns out, it makes for an incredibly moist and delicious cake!  Have you read those articles that say that “moist” is somehow an objectionable word now?  How frigging stupid is that!  It’s like the clearly adult women who object to being called “Ma’am”.  If you’re not a teenager, and you’re either wearing a wedding ring, or you’re toting a kid or two, or three, then you are most definitely NOT a  Miss anymore.  It doesn’t mean you are old, it just means you’re not a kid anymore.  So, get over it.

Clue words?  Yeah, there were four of them.  None were new, but all the jumbles appear to be.  We haven’t seen “tariff” in a while.  The answer letter layout was pretty good, but I would have switched the order of both the five letter and six letter words.  You’ve seen that thing that says if a word starts and ends with the correct letters then the inbetweens can be out of order, and your brain will still figure it out?  Well, I think the same thing applies to short phrases like this.  LLMFLEIFFSHOU would have been more of a challenge.  I hope Hoyt is taking notes!  LOL!  Great cartoon.  The young cook looks so earnest, while the old chef has such a look of contempt.  The guy’s gotta get over himself.  A fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
