puzzle #48: blaze it

test-solved by paolo pasco

Few things:

1. It was the one year anniversary of me starting up this blog again a few days ago. Thank for all for your kind words and support, it makes me want to do this sort of thing all the time.
2. I’m performing comedy at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament! All of my jokes will be about crosswords and the crossword community is going to watch me struggle to pull it off. Still, it’ll be fun! (There’s also an Easter egg of a part of my set in this puzzle, try to figure out what it is.)

Enjoy the puz!
