Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Jean had a RAREBIT of an issue with today's crossword, but it was nothing MAJOR. Mike, meanwhile, was intrigued by 17A, Marine inhabitant that's an animal, not a plant, despite what it's called, SEACUCUMBER, and appreciated its location in the grid near what it clearly was a case of -- 1A, Negative media coverage, in brief, BADPR. One clue that stood out, was the delicious (and crossing RAREBIT, especially well-placed) 10D, Olio di ______ (bread dip at a trattoria), OLIVA. Sounds delicious, or as yesterday's crossword would have us say in modern slang, NOMS!
