The answers are:
FLAMBEENTROPY
FLAMBE – ENTROPY in under five minutes. Was disappointed MONEYPLANT (it’s really common hear in India) wasn’t accepted – even though it’s written as two separate words. Another one was BAYFRONT (seriously, Sam? It IS a word!)
Anyhow, quick OA here. Looking forward towards Irim and RF’s insights. Happy Sunday to all!
Had BAYFRONT TEMPLE here… I would think it’s more common than FLAMBE, and probably ENTROPY too. Where’s the rest of the Gleesome Threesome?
Spotted the OA immediately after setting it aside for today’s Sunday mass.
Waiting for Miss Irim’s contribution later…
Very fast OA here. Back in the win column after yesterday’s disappointment. 100/109, 16/19, 0, 36
TEMPLAR was also rejected, which (along with TEMPLE) pairs with BAYFRONT for a reasonable solve.
Wasn’t too hard to come up with the OA, though.

PANTOFLE EMBRYO. Baby shoe…
PLANFORM – MONEYBELT*. The latter is both playable in Scrabble and in the OED. I remain mystified by Sam’s word list.
PANFORTE EMBRYONAL
FLAMBE—ENTROPY
PANTOFLE—EMBRYO

PANFORTE EMBRYONAL too. I would have gotten the OA I suspect if had tried harder.
Wanted FLAMBOYANT at first but didn’t work with the grid. I did find an arcane shipbuilding term:
FLAMBEMENT* TOPOMETRY
*from the French for buckling.
