String Cheese!

Puzzle Notes

Greetings Friends,

I hope you're staying cozy and warm during these January days. Today I put away the Christmas decorations, but I left the twinkly lights in place. They make me happy and evoke memories of Gilmore Girls, where mother and daughter would stroll through twinkly-lit Stars Hollow, drinking hot coffee and eating freshly-made donuts. What's not to like about that image?

Today we offer you a high-protein diversion that will stretch your solving muscles and keep them nimble during these wintry months.

Welcome to Week 554 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve "String Cheese!" as your diversion of the week. Stay cozy and warm, and have a twinkly evening! 

Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours, 

Liz
