OK to put away bed and lie around? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edible

'ok to put away' is the definition.
(to put away can mean to eat)

'bed and lie around?' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'around?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'around' mean this).
'bed' put after 'lie' is 'liebed'.
'liebed' with letters rearranged gives 'EDIBLE'.

(Other definitions for edible that I've seen before include "Esculent" , "hoping dinner will be this?" , "suited to diners" , "description of fare" , "Comestible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
