11a] heaven

The only letter for 13 Across is the first word starts with a T

Many thanks

tear duct ??
^ yes - dry = TT, and include an anagram [fluid] of 'a crude'
12.a Strati - Singular Difficulty = strait, with it reversed.

16d. Hole out consistently - and for Garcia the equivalent(8) P?R???ER
22a. Dish or cap doing for hat ultimately (6) ?A???A
The fifth letter of 16d is the fourth letter of 22a.
16d Par taken ?
22a Panama ?
Thanks, tyrepill.

I can see how 16d works, but I can't quite see how 22 fully fits the clue. I can see Panama for hat, and Pan for Dish, but I can't reconcile the Ama portion
Have seen 16d answered as "Par All el" on another thread which is more apt.
So 22a could be Paella ?
They both look correct. Patella = kneecap, then subtract the t
Many thanks
