Saturday, January 8, 2022 - Nom, Nom, SAMOSA!

Although crosswords with quotes can be tricky and sometimes a tad annoying (if you don't know the quote, it can be a long slog), we'll give this one a pass because it is a quote by the godmother of the New York Times crossword and one of our heroes, the original puzzle editor, MARGARETFARRAR. 👏🏼👏🏼 We love feedback!
