Cryptic Crossword #1: 12x12 barred

This is the first cryptic crossword I've officially published! I've made a few that never saw the light of day, and I've written and posted several clues without a grid.

Also, this is the first barred grid I've ever worked with... a very interesting experience indeed.

Puzzle Redux: "Feast Your Eyes on This" (Thanksgiving-themed 21x21)

Here's a Thanksgiving-themed 21x21, a version of which first appeared in The Comet all the way back in 2018! I've tweaked some of the clues and answers for this 2024 version, though for the most part, though it was my first 21x21 for The Comet, I'm pretty happy with how it still holds up.

Also, look for a bonus answer per the special note. (It's not a meta answer, but it is hidden). Enjoy!
