“Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.”   —   Margaret Thatcher

(When “The Iron Lady” made this statement it was completely acceptable.  But, by today’s – and probably more and more, going forward – standards, this statement could easily be viewed as . . . sexist!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Such a deal?!?!  My wife does this ALL the time.  I’ve never seen her finish an omelette in one sitting.  It always comes home, to make for another meal.  Even though it was a relatively short answer it was fairly challenging.  A nice pun.  There were no new clue words today.  However, three of the jumbles came up as new.  We have seen “sopepo” before.  I thought that both “tepur” and “acsvan” were very good jumbles.  And, I was a little out of it this morning.  When I went to write “young” I started writing “nug”  before catching myself!  The answer letter layout was another fine jumble, that gave nothing away.  The cartoon’s dialog helped set things up well.  The word SAVORY is so heavily used these days!  Or, maybe I’m just exposed to too many cooking shows?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
