First of all, let me say how much I enjoy your writing style. It's like having a casual chat with a good friend who just so happens to be an expert on crosswords and mixology. Your witty anecdotes and engaging storytelling make reading your blog a genuine pleasure.<br /><br />Now, onto the topic at hand. I must admit, I had no idea what an aperitif was until I read your article. But your vivid descriptions and the way you painted a picture of sipping this delightful concoction made me feel like I was right there with you. The idea of a black currant liqueur aperitif sounds both intriguing and delicious. Thanks to your article, I'm genuinely tempted to try it out the next time I'm at a cocktail bar. You've broadened my horizons and my taste buds! Keep up the fantastic work, Rex. Your blog is a gem for those of us who love a good crossword and a great drink. Cheers! đ„https://certifiedtranslationservicesusa.comcertifiedtranslationservicesusahttps://certifiedtranslationservicesusa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-30558772794290323732023-07-06T13:09:15.794-04:002023-07-06T13:09:15.794-04:00If you have access to the NY Times web sight go he...If you have access to the NY Times web sight go here and click on "Archives" to find any past puzzle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-21527791493027534892022-11-25T14:13:14.422-05:002022-11-25T14:13:14.422-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177244362205228446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-31728141416567706462022-08-22T05:41:51.359-04:002022-08-22T05:41:51.359-04:00Checkout Gwen Jorgensen (Runner) Daily RouteCheckout <a href="https://viproutine.com/gwen-jorgensen-daily-routine/" rel="nofollow">Gwen Jorgensen (Runner) Daily Route </a>Perfect Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509194484550553810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-38880611428386096392022-07-07T12:38:50.533-04:002022-07-07T12:38:50.533-04:00Checkout Top Reiki Healing Apps for AndroidCheckout <a href="https://bestopapps.com/reiki-apps-android/" rel="nofollow">Top Reiki Healing Apps for Android</a>Yash.bestopappshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661746183073909833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-31668086120454171302022-03-18T03:59:23.834-04:002022-03-18T03:59:23.834-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.insta-fb-captionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182415741972643447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-17954783256503132422021-08-10T06:49:46.389-04:002021-08-10T06:49:46.389-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Hair Fall Treatmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780999506660404715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-26195280584212568242021-05-17T06:17:12.406-04:002021-05-17T06:17:12.406-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Cracksdownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180576454762882347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-72731745240534394482021-04-29T01:39:38.683-04:002021-04-29T01:39:38.683-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Muhammad Jameelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02055741338155772099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-50846094139129532852021-03-18T04:32:18.178-04:002021-03-18T04:32:18.178-04:00I liked it and caught on roughly halfway through. ...I liked it and caught on roughly halfway through. <br />https://www.thedarkattitude.com/ab harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348793385368941451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-50884575541284064942020-11-18T03:14:22.801-05:002020-11-18T03:14:22.801-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763677245121843594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-40330494906557682912020-11-13T12:08:45.921-05:002020-11-13T12:08:45.921-05:00houses to rent in Swansea

I noticed the exclusion of other vowels about a third of the way through, which made the rest of the solve easier.<br /><br />So if your trick is to use only "I"s, of course there'll be a lot of -INGs, and maybe -INKs. Comes with the territory. However, now that it's been done maybe we don't need to see it again.<br /><br />I admired the effort and I understand the need for something different for a constructor to do.

He was Lise Meitner's nephew, and actually determined the critical mass via a nearly fatal experiment. He also coined the term "fission." My apologies, Otto.<br /><br />Okay. There was a WILD coincidence: just yesterday, in an episode of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?," the $250,000 question involved MILLI Vanilli. Had I been there, I'd have won the quarter-mil! After the 50-50, the only other choice was the founders of Woodstock--and I knew those weren't the names! But the guy picked them anyway and lost half of the $100,000 he already had. Crap! WHY ARE THEY THERE AND I'M HERE???<br /><br />Oh well. As a trick, this puzzle passes muster, but it's a trick with little purpose.
