Count me ashore. I couldn't get to it until today but it was a reasonably quick solve (with some critical help from Mr. G, of course).

I am ashore! Sand feels nice between my toes. Got the grid solved on Thursday but that's all I had time for. Finally took another look at it today and the metanism came to me pretty quickly. Would not have been able to solve without Google though!

Finally getting to this one. Quick solve while making bourbon meatballs. Guess the Buffalo Trace counts as my beach drink! Didn’t love the meta - not a fan of puzzles that require extensive searching.

Don't forget Isaac's Last Call tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. Just click on the Muggle Zoom Room button at the top of the page. I don't mind missing the Super Bowl tonight!

Got a very late start and still with Isaac. Chased a promising rabbit and got stuck in the mud. Still working it looking for the correct approach. I may need to turn to vino for inspiration. That worked the last time.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

I did a dry rub this morning and air cooled them in frig to remove moisture. Now I am air frying them, and serving with 3 sauces I made. So far, so good. Thanks for asking!

Thank you for posting the link, that was a fun one! Had to think some about one thing.

Hi friends! I am ashore after two busy weeks in which I had no time for puzzles. I enjoyed this one!

Was that the Tubi ad? Seems perfect for Muggles.

Those were some scary rabbits!
I was hiding under the bed from the halftime score.

Fabulous, slick half time show from Rihanna almost made me forget we made it on shore earlier. Couldn’t have done it without google.
