The answers are:
OVERACHIEVEEYEFUL
REFAVOUR – RICHLY
Both this and the OA suggest cynical allusions to US politics.
Once again the puzzle puzzles. I was on the same track, but discovered that REFAVOUR is not a PSW, so I persisted and landed on FLAVOURER – RICHLY. FLAVOURER is a PSW, but the puzzle would not accept it. Sigh.
I had found Flavourer Richly within a couple of minutes only to find it would not be accepted. Luckily, Favourer Richly did the job.
It did, however, accept favourer (?) which I paired with richly, after flavourer wasn’t accepted.
Same (refavour-richly)
I was stuck with F(L)AVOUR & RICHLY. Frustrates me that I can’t use the most commonly used letter (E) in the alphabet. I fail today. One of a few times.
But, I have a hunch that the OA has an OVER-word.
And, sometimes, I find a LB puzzle containing all the vowels (A-E-I-O-U) to be somewhat difficult for a two-word answer.
Favourer-Richly
FAVOURER RICHLY
From yesterday’s lush landscape to today’s barren plains.
I saw the OA and the FLAVOUR variants.
Even single categorized words are sparse, from my side anyway.

Over it! I had so many words including eyeful but didn’t achieve!
My first OA in quite a while, if memory serves.
Also, wasn’t EYEFUL in another OA somewhat recently?
Can anyone complete with VEHICULAR or even VEHICULARLY (which LB happens to recognize)?
I tried for some time to match VEHICULAR but failed, both with that word and overall. FLYOVER was also accepted and looked promising. . .
Yes! I struggled with VEHICULAR(LY) and FLYOVER for a LOOOOOONG time before finally landing on REFAVOUR – RICHLY.
My first OA in a while, too.
So many words, so few 2-word solutions! I went with 3 – CHIEF-FLAVOUR-RYE – for the TI.
I love it– the ‘loaf of the day.’🍞
Another Unsolvable Sunday for me too ( in two).
My threebie: OVERHAUL-LYRIC-CAFE (without Julia C’s TI)
AT THE LYRIC CAFE
Flavored chiefly with rye
And with taste richly met
The loaf of the day
Overhauled with word play:
A poetic baguette
At the lyric cafe.
😀 Wow, you sure can write ‘em.
That generates its own melody.
Agreed, really like this ditty!
Love the poem, Jill – thanks for the smile!
🥖 I often find a stronger image in the three-word solutions. Even nicer when two of them resonate together. 🙂
Thank you, Jill!
I didn’t get to play this one, but glad I checked the board anyway.
overachieve – eyeful
Official
I tried vehicularly too and couldn’t make it work
OA here. Was hoping Chivalry or Chiefly would work
Favourer – Richly
Refavour Richly, but not Reflavour Richly.
If you’d ever tasted my cooking you would want reflavour to be a word!
OA, eventually, after struggling with Chivalry/ric, Cavalier/ly, Flyover, Vehicular/ly. A surprisingly unfruitful array that looked so promising.
I will note my best three-fer, Chiefly Your Rav. Who’s got the answers to your burning Kashrut questions?
